Green Power Written Responses
Written response 1 addressing the extent to which the growing use of green power is viewed as a
passing fad or a fundamental shift in energy consumption.

revolution of renewable energy. Around 27% of the people believe renewable energy is just a

circumstances on how the senior management can be indulged into discussions concerning the
sourcing of the clean energy.
