COPENHAGEN – Efforts to stem global warming have nurtured a strong urge worldwide to deploy renewable energy. As a result, the use of wind turbines has increased ten-fold over the past decade, with wind power often touted as the most cost-effective green opportunity.

  2012-02-26 Еден од најголемите експерименти во светот за јавната политика за зелена енергија се движи кон огорчен крај во Германија, со важни лекции за креаторите на политиката на други места. Германија некогаш се гордееше дека е „фотогалвански светски шампион“, делејќи дарежливи субвенции од 130 милијарди долари на граѓаните да инвестираат во соларна енергија. Но, сега германската влада ветува дека ќе ги намали субвенциите поскоро отколку што планираше и постепено ќе ја елиминира поддршката во наредните пет години. Што тргна во погрешна насока? (...)

L'immensité des réserves de carburants fossiles est l'aspect qui a le plus retenu l'attention de Bjorn Lomborg, le célèbre statisticien danois qui a publié L'environnementaliste sceptique en 2001. «On voit noir sur blanc qu'il y a abondamment de carburants fossiles», dit M.

2012-02-17 V Německu spěje k hořkému konci jeden z největších experimentů se zelenou energií na světě. Spolková republika se kdysi pyšnila titulem "fotovoltaického světového šampiona", když rozdělovala lidem štědré dotace (podle výzkumu německé Porúrské univerzity více než 130 miliard dolarů), aby investovali do sluneční energie. Nyní však německá vláda slibuje, že dotace seškrtá a během následujících pěti let podporu ukončí. (...) 

2012-02-16 COPENHAGEN – One of the world’s biggest green-energy public-policy experiments is coming to a bitter end in Germany, with important lessons for policymakers elsewhere. Germany once prided itself on being the “photovoltaic world champion”, doling out generous subsidies – totaling more than $130 billion, according to research from Germany’s Ruhr University – to citizens to invest in solar energy. But now the German government is vowing to cut the subsidies sooner than planned, and to phase out support over the next five years. What went wrong? (...)
