Arbitrary DIV 1
Always known for green energy and progressive politics, near-polar Denmark now produces more than 20% of its energy from renewables. The biggest surprise here might be that selling energy into the grid with net metering wasn't available until 2010.
While the US is considering cutting wind subsidies, Scotland is building French manufacturing facilities to supply their offshore turbines. While the rest of the world is still in discussion, Scotland has increased their renewable energy production from 3% in 2006 to 35% in 2011.
China is currently developing 2.3gW of offshore wind with another 13.6gW with gov approval waiting in the wings make it the proud owner of NEARLY HALF the world's currently proposed 40gW[1]. However, gov delays have incited criticism, and shaky investor support could endanger the future of these projects, siting them as financially "unrealistic".
Little known to many, solar panels automatically shut down during outages to avoid electrocuting workers. The obvious solution, buying a battery, is too expensive for most at $8,000.
Good news for wind and clean energy, but looking at it holistically, according to the US IEA this is 0.000002477578% of world power production. Even accounting for other clean energy sources, there's a long way to go!
NY governor Andrew Cuomo delayed fracking in NYS to commission another study into its health effects. Industry cries foul while Cuomo cries "...decision will be made based on the science...". I second that.
The price dumping is finally catching up to the Chinese solar industry as they cut costs because of new US anti-dumping tariffs and anticipated similar moves from the EU after their recording breakingly-large investigation.
