Wind power and solar power are on the rise in the US with many city and individual projects. What they ALL share is a need to store the energy for later use. The Generator is wind, solar, biodiesel, but the solution is in the genverter systems used to store and retrieve this clean power!

[...] This is another smart move by China, in my opinion. With the huge amount of cash they are holding, I would rather hold more of it as crude than dollars. And stockpiling the crude also protects the domestic demand from supply shocks. I would also take other steps they are taking, like investing heavily in adding wind power capacity. [...]

I would say that nuclear power is a fast and profitable way of getting energy. But, we surely need to combine different sources as natural ones are not for years.

Yes, but this stuff is so expensive and spacious. We need Cost effective energy from Nuclear power. Sure it will take a load off, but we can’t expect much from these sources. I’m not against any alternative energy source as long as it’s not from oil or coal, but need to be thinking about a massive take over from an alternative source which I don’t think wind or solar power can handle. Remember that the demand for energy is increasing as well. I don’t think wind or sun power will realistically be able to keep up.

USA’s wind energy installation is increasing big time.I hope their solar instalation will be the same soon.
