**1. What are the dominant fossil fuels used in your country?** The main fossil fuels in Russia are gas and oil. **2. Where are the dominant fossil fuels mainly used for in your country?

It is your task to create a new policy in order to improve the environmental friendly and sustainable sources and consumption of energy of your country. How would you do that? Think of how you can improve the sources and the consumption of energy.** I guess we should increase production of nuclear energy as well as from renewable sources, firstly from bio/waste, PV panels and wind turbines whether it is possible. For sure we should reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in transport – we should reduce amount of cars in cities, extensively develop public transport and using of bikes. Some steps have been done in this direction (as you can see city government organized bike rent station, but they works only during hot months and often are damaged by vandals ) but we have to progress in it considerably larger. ![Bike rent station organized by city goverment][2] ![Broken screen of bike rent terminal][3] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14591972806584604.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14591975601730882.jpg [3]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14591975855139484.jpg
