          <title>Bloomberg predicts renewable energy boom</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessgreen.com/business-green/news/2259805/bloomberg-predicts-renewable&quot;&gt;businessGreen.com&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;The report estimates that based on current trends renewable energy will constitute 22 per cent of the world&amp;#8217;s installed power generation capacity by 2020, up from 13 per cent today, and will then grow to account for 31 per cent of the energy mix by 2030. But again Bloomberg&amp;#8217;s New Energy Finance Global Energy and Emissions Model forecasts that renewable energy will need to account for more like 40 per cent of installed capacity by 2030 to keep in line with the scale of emission reductions that climate scientists believe will be required&amp;#8221;.&lt;br/&gt;

          <title>Europe's electricity could be all renewables by 2050</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.physorg.com/news189101270.html&quot;&gt;Physorg.com&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Achieving all-renewables electricity will depend less on new technology than on revamping Europe&amp;#8217;s legal and regulatory framework, the report argued: Most of the technical components are available in principle already today.To become a reality, such a vision will require a regional power system based on a super-smart grid and the rapid scaling up of all forms of renewable power&amp;#8221;.&lt;br/&gt;

          <title>Renewables account for 62% of the new electricity generation capacity installed in the EU in 2009</title>

This would account for approximately 35-40% of overall electricity consumption in the EU, depending on the success of community policies on electricity efficiency, and would contribute significantly to the fulfilment of the 20% target for energy generation from renewables&amp;#8221;.&lt;br/&gt;

The Solar Energy Industries Association gave a presentation last week where they divulged that industry revenues went from $3.6 billion in 2009 to $6 billion in 2010, a huge 67 percent increase in one year.&amp;#8221;  &lt;/p&gt;

          <title>MIT: Debut of the First Practical Solar 'artificial leaf' </title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-03/acs-dot031811.php&quot;&gt;EurekAlert&lt;/a&gt;: Scientists today claimed one of the milestones in the drive for Sustainable Energy — development of the first Practical Artificial Leaf. Speaking at the 241st National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, they described an Advanced Solar Cell the size of a poker card that mimics the process, called photosynthesis, that Green Plants use to Convert Sunlight and Water into Energy. &amp;#8220;Nature is powered by photosynthesis, and I think that the future world will be powered by Photosynthesis as well in the form of this Artificial Leaf,&amp;#8221; said Nocera, a chemist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. &lt;/p&gt;

Renewable energy in California has developed to the point where it is developing a bipartisan constituency. &lt;/p&gt;

China’s previously-announced nuclear capacity of 80GW may be scaled back, with solar energy coming in to fill the void, reports Bloomberg.  &lt;/p&gt;

          <title>Energy Storage: Enables Renewable Energy when it's needed</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.powermag.com/environmental/Energy-Storage-Enables-Just-in-Time-Generation_3556.html&quot;&gt;PowerMagazine&lt;/a&gt;: One of the main criticisms of renewable energy facilities is that they are unable to dispatch electricity when it’s needed. The great game-changer is low-cost energy storage, which would enable renewable energy production to be stored and rapidly released when needed. Here are seven promising distributed energy storage technologies that could be commercialized in the near future. &lt;/p&gt;

The share of renewable energy across the EU&amp;#8217;s generation mix has almost doubled over the past decade according to new EU statistics released today.&lt;/p&gt;

That claim will eventually be proven ridiculous. For now, though, many may be surprised to know that renewable resources already account nearly 11% of U.S. energy production.&lt;/p&gt;

The paper reported that Chancellor Angela Merkel had told the same meeting that a break with the past was needed and an accelerated exit from nuclear power was essential.&lt;/p&gt;

Shifting to renewable energy can help us to meet the dual goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thereby limiting future extreme weather and climate impacts, and ensuring reliable, timely, and cost-efficient delivery of energy. It’s just a no-brainer that investing in renewable energy can have huge dividends for our energy security.&lt;/p&gt;

And that’s not only in the electricity sector; heating should also be completely converted to renewable energy. &lt;/p&gt;

That converts the sun&amp;#8217;s heat into electricity. A solar power tower plant, by comparison, uses thousands of heliostats focusing the sun&amp;#8217;s rays on one central tower. The solar tower at the new plant is approximately 450 feet tall. It&amp;#8217;s believed solar power tower systems may be more efficient than their trough counterparts. At the Mojave Desert facility, it&amp;#8217;s estimated water consumption will be cut by 90%.&lt;/p&gt;

          <title>China: More Than Doubles Its Solar Power Goal For 2020</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.forbes.com/alexknapp/2011/05/06/china-more-than-doubles-its-solar-power-goal-for-2020/&quot;&gt;Forbes&lt;/a&gt;: China has more than doubled its goal for Solar Power 2020. China’s previous goal was to have 20GW installed by 2020, but the target is now 50GW. China has become increasingly aggressive as of late in pursuing alternative energy sources, driven by commodity prices as well as concerns over air pollution. Last year, China installed a staggering 18GW of Wind Power, with a goal of achieving 200GW installed by 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

Pricing carbon is not as effective as a method for decision making. A watt is probably the most traded commodity in the world and has very transparent pricing. It&amp;#8217;s tangible and everyone can understand it.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

A decision to this effect was announced this week through two different circulars and comes in wake of the Plan Panel committee’s suggestion to give incentives to industry including faster clearances to promote Green Technologies.  &lt;/p&gt;

Renovating them so that they consume 80% less energy would be like saving the entire amount of energy produced by Europe&amp;#8217;s coal and nuclear plants. Simply put, reducing demand means that we would have to find less energy. It would also have the advantage of creating two million new jobs. &lt;/p&gt;

We want to insulate ourselves from future peaks in energy prices and disruptions in supply, and to invest our money in green, long-term, sustainable sources of energy. Our government has announced its ambition that Denmark should become fully independent of fossil fuels by 2050, and instead meet its energy needs with renewable energy. A detailed, comprehensive strategy for how to get there, “Energy Strategy 2050”, was launched a few months ago—the first of its kind in the world.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

Rush Limbaugh, the Republican media mouthpiece, leads the charge against alternative energy and his rhetoric is taking mainstream Republicans down with him. Solar Power is the Energy of The Future and once it becomes prevalent, it will become much cheaper in the long run.&lt;/p&gt;

          <title>UN IPCC: Renewable Energy Can Exceed Global Demand</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.modernpowersystems.com/story.asp?sectionCode=131&amp;amp;storyCode=2059723&quot;&gt;ModernPowerSystems&lt;/a&gt;: Renewable energy sources are expected to contribute up to 80% of global energy supply by 2050, according to a new report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) May 2011. The UN Report clearly demonstrates that Renewable technologies could supply the world with more energy than it would ever need, and at a highly competitive cost. &lt;/p&gt;
