The challenge of climate change is global, and it demands action on an international scale, such as the Paris Agreement. But a large part of the solution must be local, involving all of us in the way energy is produced and consumed. Very recently, there was a decision made that has allowed the Argentina population to now generate their own energy through clean and unconventional sources and add surpluses into the public grid. This is an important novelty in a country beginning a slow and difficult process, with a still uncertain end, to replace fossil fuels. A new law was born with the aim of increasing the generation and addition to the grid of clean energy by many small nearby sources, citizens and other private sectors, in what is known as distributed, dispersed or decentralised generation.
Argentina has had a hard time shifting to renewable power sources. They still represent a very small share of the electric grid, which is made up of 64 percent fossil fuel power plants; fueled by oil or gas. It is a global issue and other countries, such as the UK could also do more to encourage citizen generated electricity. In the UK, more people could support the energy transition, and share in the benefits, by storing power in batteries, electric vehicles and smart boilers. This enables the grid to draw power when it's cheap and plentiful, and temporarily lighten the load if there's a peak in demand. Here, since 2009, the price of solar panels has fallen by 80% and wind turbines by 40%. And it won't stop there. Renewable energies are becoming competitive with fossil fuels and new nuclear, but still out of reach of many of the regular citizens.
Renewable energies and supporting technologies, like storage, are advancing in leaps and bounds. The old energy companies have been sluggish in catching up so, although there is the ability to produce more electricity via renewable, investment is still being made in gas and nuclear power. With the right government policies in the UK there could be great potential for citizen-owned energy. Take Germany and Denmark as examples in how successful citizen-generated electricity has become. Recently, Germany produced so much electric power that prices were actually negative. As in, customers got paid to use the electrical system. However, the average overall percentage produced by renewables last year was 33%. Neighbouring Denmark already sometimes produces more renewable energy than the nation's citizens consume on a more regular basis with 40% of the national electricity being supplied by wind. They are currently 90% self-sufficient for their energy needs.
Electricity generation in Denmark has changed fundamentally over the past two decades and Denmark has a long tradition of setting ambitious national energy targets. By 2050, Denmark aims to be a lowcarbon society independent of fossil fuels. All in all, Europe is performing well in its organisation of renewables. In 2011, renewables created 21.7% of the EU's power. After three years, this figure has achieved 27.5% and is expected to grow to 50% by 2030. The EU's underlying endeavours in advancing the use of renewables encouraged this. Proceeded by the development, which brought down sustainable costs, renewables have now moved toward becoming cost-focused, and even sometimes significantly less expensive than fossil fuels.
Denmark has several days in the year when _______.

Aelectricity is free
Bthey don't need electricity
Cthe sun shines all day

What do we mean when we say someone is intelligent? Intelligence is the ability to think on the basis of the information available and solve problems. After human beings, dolphins are the next most intelligent creatures on earth. Like human beings, dolphins have large brains when compared to their body size. Since dolphins cannot take an IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test to measure their intelligence, we measure it by comparing their brain size with their body size. This is called EQ (Encephalisation Quotient). Human EQ is 7.0, while a dolphin’s is 4.2 and the chimpanzees’, whales’ and elephants’ is 1.8 to 2.4. Dolphins come closest to us in intelligence.
For example, Kelly, the dolphin, is indeed very clever. She lives in the Institute of Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi. Dolphins there are taught to keep the pools clean. They bring any litter that falls into the pools to the trainers. Their reward is a fish. Kelly has taken her learning one step further. The intelligent mammal picks up pieces of paper people throw, and hides them at the bottom of the pool. She tears off a piece of paper and brings it to the trainer to get a reward. Fish-rewards are given whether a dolphin brings a small piece or a big one. She has trained the humans! A large gull flew into the pool one day. The intelligent Kelly grabbed it and gave it to the trainers. It was a large gull so the trainers gave Kelly lots of fish. A new idea came to Kelly. Kelly began saving and using one or two of the fish she got very intelligently. She broke the fish into pieces and spread them on the pool surface instead of eating it.
Pieces of fish attracted more gulls. The gulls were immediately caught and given to the trainers for more fish-rewards! Kelly has now trained her family and friends in the pool. Gull baiting is now very common. The dolphins' intelligence has surprised everyone.
The purpose of the passage is to _______.
