Hi Laxman, that was a very interesting article, although I think some of the goals are pretty ambitious. There are a lot of very interesting projects that are getting under way here. I wanted to mention that its certainly not only in the U.S that alternative energy is getting a foot hod in though.
Just to take wind energy for example, Germany has about 22,000 MW installed, but they've kind of peaked. http://www.wind-energie.de/en/news/article/wind-energy-world-market-booms-while-domestic-market-shrinks/166/ The American Wind Energy Association says we have just surpassed 20,000 MW of installed energy. http://www.awea.org/newsroom/releases/Wind_Installations_Surpass_20K_MW_03Sept08.html By March of this year India had about 8,800 MW installed http://www.inwea.org/ China at the end of 2007 had 6,000 MW installed and it has been growing by about 100% every year since 2005! http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jul/25/renewableenergy.alternativeenergy Well, have to go for now. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
