This research analyzes the German experience in promoting renewable energy over the past decade to identify the ex post cost of reducing CO2 emissions through the promotion of renewable energy, specifically, wind and solar
This paper categorizes and analyzes a wide range of property rights conflicts arising from modern energy development, including issues associated wind energy, solar energy, hydraulic fracturing, and carbon capture and storage
As new technologies go, wind has enjoyed 3 decades of continuous innovation, performance and reliability improvements and falling costs – benefits of economies of scale, technological advancements and learning by doing. The law of diminishing marginal returns, however, appears to have gotten in the way of further cost reductions…
Key European wind industry statistics for 2011 show wind at 21% of newly installed capacity
The focus on wind-power, driven by the renewables targets, is preventing Britain from effectively reducing CO2 emissions, while crippling energy users with additional costs, according to a new Civitas report
The report shows how China could reach 1 000 GW of wind power by the middle of the century…
This study challenges the assumption of UK government policy papers and projections that, as a result of substantial increases in renewable and other low carbon generation capacity, the role of gas in the will decline rapidly over the next decade and beyond
