lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, we need to make the switch from fossil fuels to green energy, because power generation accounts for 25% of greenhouse gas emissions. The problem with renewables, of course, is their variability, and one of the solutions – as the rapporteur points out – is local smart grids encouraging people to use less when supply is less and letting people sell their own production back to the grid. The real challenge is moving thinking from the traditional inflexible base-load model to the variable decentralised local production model using electricity grids that use data and ICT technology to make electricity distribution smarter. Smart metering and the demand-response idea allow us to adapt consumption to prices and supply. We can bring down electricity bills, we can distribute energy generation and, with EU-wide standards for interoperability, we can ensure that the Connecting Europe Facility is promoting these smart energy projects."@en1
