[01] CYPRUS - ICELAND - ENERGY ISSUES
Iceland`s President Ofafur Ragnar Grimsson believes that in the next
ten or twenty years Cyprus and Iceland could be among the countries
which would show others how comprehensive energy systems can be based
on clean energy.
In statements after meeting Cyprus` Minister of Commerce, Industry and
Tourism Antonis Paschalides, Grimsson said he will meet on Thursday
President Demetris Christofias to discuss the important issue of clean
energy and how small countries like Cyprus and Iceland can show the
world the way forward in this area.
He said that a few years ago in an international energy conference, he
presented the progress Cyprus had made in the area of clean energy,
noting that his own country has also succeeded in producing almost 100%
of electricity for heating purposes from clean energy resources.
