The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) has released its forecast for wind power installations in 2010, and expects 10 gigawatt (GW) of new wind power capacity to be installed in the EU during 2010, taking total installed capacity by the end of 2010 to almost 85 GW – an increase of 13%. “We predict another strong year for wind turbine installations in Europe, repeating the high level achieved in 2009,” said Christian Kjaer, CEO of EWEA. “What is encouraging is that the 2010 results consist of orders placed after the start of the financial crisis. This shows continued and strong investor confidence in the technology.” Source: EWEA

The world needs hydroelectric or solar energy, not nuclear energy, coal or gas! Wind energy is great too but it is harder to utilize than solar and generates less power.
oh how i wish that we are all using Alternative sources of energy instead of oil `
Hi, I´m Pam, interesting post. I am a first grade teacher in Orange county. Nowadays , most people need to save cash on their electrical energy bills and one of the most frequent methods is through using solar energy. What can we, the regular people do to help save our World? The response may sound hard, but it’s very easy. Build your own solar panel.
we should ban all sorts of fossil fuels and invest more on alternative energy
Solar energy is still the best way to generate extra income from your roof wilst saving the planet.
I was doing a search for wind energy jobs today and came across this post, A strong European market for wind turbines in 2010 – environews uk. Interesting to say the least.
Only about 14% of the sun’s energy that hits today’s solar panels is converted to electricity. The best panels out there are around 22%. Since the plants live off the sun, I would say they are more efficient.
China’s leaders are irresponsible and its unlikely they’ll abandon the coal fired plants they bring on line every month. They should clean up their dirty human rights practices.
alternative energy is the best option that we can choose if we really want clean sources of power`.”
