  Politics
The recearch in H2O and other forms of green energy, can't do without the politics. Gouverments has to change the law for it and make desicions about the use of it. On this site we try to give a short explaination on the way of handling of some gouverments.

The gouverment of the Netherlands
In the Netherlands is the subject H2O not yet a really great item in the politic. There has been some questions, but a real debate hasn't been there. Some little proposals to make a network of gasstations for H2O, didn't came far.

On the other hand is the issue CO2 a big item. There are many attemps to lower the CO2 emission. A short time ago, when the oil prices became very high, the discussion of lowering the taxes on gas became an item. But there weren't made any changes, because of the environmental consequences.

The market of green energy became recently free in the Netherlands. This means that everyone can make their own choices about picking a energy provider. This means that the price of green energy will lower because of the competition. The gouverment has also lower the taxes of green energy, what means that the prices of normal energy and green energy became almost equal. The normal market of energy will come also free. Al these desicions needs to change the use of normal energy into green energy, and that's the best for the emission of CO2.

The politics in the world
Worldwide are many countries working together. The goal is to reduce 'global warming'. Because of this, there were many different conferences about this. The first and most important conference, what gave a big step in the good direction, was the treaty of Kyoto. They made plans to lower the emission of CO2. But the're still countries, like the VS who doesn't want to sign the treaty, even after many confessions. Until now there isn't an agreement.
