The Volume of Solar and Wind Energy Rose Last Year Eighty-two point three percent of emissions from carbon dioxide are from the U.S. power segment. In order to reduce these emissions, an increase in the volume of renewable energy generated is vital. Solar and wind power sources need to be increased. In a report released by the Solar Electric Power Association in 2008, it states that it is not unusual for the solar megawatts in a utility’s portfolio to increase by double or more. The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) today addressed that all power state utilities in the country will have to buy at minimum five percent of their grid purchase from renewable energy sources from 2009-10 onwards and 15 percent by 2020. The release of a major new study this week that increases estimates of U.S. natural gas resources is moving debates over the use and monitoring of a fuel that could assist slow global warming but could create other environmental issues. The thrust to create so-called “clean” energy projects is hampered by poor financial risk perception, need for big capital investments and policies that still favor conventional sources of energy, an official of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) recently announced. |
