The finding echoes a repeated series of warnings from AWEA and wind energy companies that the U.S. needs a strong RES to compete successfully for the new factories and skilled manufacturing jobs wind energy brings.
EWEA’s latest statistics show that the wind power sector will create some 250,000 new jobs in Europe in the next decade. This would take the total of wind energy jobs to 450,000 by 2020.
Electric vehicles constitute a key contribution to reducing carbon emissions and rising consumer awareness about climate change, they may also prove to be an additional risk for pedestrians and other road users.
For renewable energies, he said Europe needs to “have the infrastructure for solar and wind energy.”
"Because we want to see the solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars of tomorrow manufactured here. We don’t just want to buy stuff made elsewhere; we want to grow our exports."
Striving to promote the energy efficiency of traditional automobiles and the industrialization of alternative-energy automobiles has become an urgent issue that the Chinese auto industry must address.
It's tough to erect wind turbines or solar panels when the enemy keeps blowing things up.
The Consumer Federation of America released a report recommending the Obama administration establish a 60 miles-per-gallon fuel efficiency standard for cars by 2025.
But the Skeptical Environmentalist’s volte face has met with its own measure of scepticism. Greenpeace said Lomborg’s conversion comes too late.
Gunnison County Electric received $24,042 for a pilot project that will use wind energy to power the utility’s radio repeater sites, with excess energy fed into the electricity grid.
