Next November 9th, it'll be 20 years since the Wall built by the Democratic Republic of Germany to prevent people from fleeing to Western Germany collapsed. Within 28 years, hundreds of people had been enjailed or even worse, killed while trying to jump over what still symbolizes the terror policy imposed by the East-German government. However, after years of repression and division which would leave long lasting aftermaths, reunification was proclaimed. Under the pressure of a popular movement, in a geopolitical context where Russian communism was step backing, Helmut Kohl managed to have Mikhail Gorbatchev, then first secretary of the Communist party, accept that the two Germanies should go back to unity.

Renewable Energies can also be a business far from the philanthropic or humanist engagements to preserve Planet Earth.
In these times of crisis, President Obama’s economic speeches underline the need to fight against global warming, particularly with the development of renewable energies. The European Union pledged to reach 20% of its energy produced with renewable energy by 2020. In Europe today, only approximately 9% of the energy produced is issued from renewable energies, with great disparities between countries. France’s objective is to reach a proportion of 23% by 2010.
