INTRODUCTION To achieve targets that lead to a low-carbon environment, strong incentive in investing in new low carbon electricity generation should be pursued. The Government has introduced a programme to try and achieve such goals in the UK, known as the Electricity Market Reform (EMR). EMR has been proposed by the Government in 2010 and then legislated via the Energy Act in 2013. The reform aims to decarbonise and secure the electricity supply and to also achieve a balance between reducing energy bills for the consumers and to attract and grant enough support for new low carbon electricity generator participants. The EMR introduced a number of mechanisms that try to achieve such a goals, in particular “A Capacity Market (CM)” and “A Contract …show more content…
Each different technology that is interested in securing a contract must prove that they will be generating at most times and cover the thresholds minimum which is different for each of the renewables. CfDs are only applicable to applicants who are not supported by any other contracts, which include the RO, small scale FiT or the Non Fossil Fuel Obligation. The contracts where originally to be allocated on a first-come-first-serve bases, but has now been changed to constrained allocation rounds, where applicants are all assessed equally and rounds take place annually. (DECC, EMR – CfD, Contract and Allocation Overview, 2013) WHY THE CFD WAS ADOPTED AND ITS CURRENT OPERATIONS Before implementing the Contracts for Difference mechanism a few other instruments have been considered, all of them had very similar goals and CfD was chosen since it seemed like the mechanism that would reach these goals more efficiently. The other option that was closely looked at was the PFiT (Premium Feed in Tariff) which is a version of the FiT and topes up the generator payments on top of their revenue per MWh from selling electricity on the wholesale market, due to this the mechanism would be much more costly than the CfD. It also gives more benefit to the renewable generator than to the consumers since it would always receive extra payments, making it less cost-effective and not striking a balance between the two also increasing the fluctuation in the electricity market.

People have been trying to come up with solutions to threatening epidemics from many years. There was a famine in Ireland that killed many people. The poor people of Ireland could not support their families, which made them go to extreme measures. In order to survive, women and children were forced to beg for food to prevent them from starving to death. Jonathan Swift proposes a solution to this epidemic in A Modest Proposal. Swift states that the poor Irish should sell their children as if they were cattle, or better yet, eat the children themselves. Swift uses a mocking tone in order to effectively convey that he does not actually support cannibalism, but rather uses it as metaphor to describe the harsh times of Ireland.

In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).

To My Dearest Ernest, I write this to you, blushing and grinning at the prospect of us spending the rest of our lives with each other. While pondering your union with mamma, one of my dearest carriage men has just offered me a delectable dish of fresh scones with jam and a pot of English breakfast tea to bide my time. I sit here alone in this carriage with diary, pen and the urge to run back to you to be embellished with your words of love and the ritual of your proposal. However, during this moment of separation, I have some time to reflect. At this very moment instead showering me with promises of endless love and devotion I am under the assumption that you are being interrogated by mamma regarding our potential marriage.
“Demand more, Expect more, Achieve more.” A quote that I have cultivated as part of my academic and technical education in Greater Lawrence Technical School. As a senior in GLTS I have experienced life changing lessons that could only be taught in a school like this. The big stairs that greet us every morning accompanied by the joyous “Good Morning” given by our superintendent set a positive tone for our passion for learning. The way I see it is that by walking, sometimes even crawling these stairs every morning we are faced with a small task.

He adopts a serious yet sarcastic tone in order to convince the citizens and readers their country needs change.
The National Energy Guarantee introduced by the Turnbull government is a blank political canvas according to Aly. Nonetheless, it holds the possibility of wider support, something that the country has never attained. However Aly noted that raises questions regarding the required energy quotas, how they will be set and at what speed. In addition, the relationship they will bear to the country commitments under the Paris climate accord. Likewise , a realist may support climate change actions or treaty with mandatory limits if the national interests will be served well with the limits than without.
The energy sector is one of the columns of growth, competitiveness and development in our modern economy, but just with safe, secure, sustainable and affordable energy, the well-being of the people, industry and economy can be ensure. Moreover, energy-related emissions account for almost 80% of the EU´s total greenhouse gas emissions which directly contribute to climate change.
