Italy is beginning serious discussions with Chile in developing geothermal power there.  Chile is way behind Brazil and Argentina in wind and solar power development.  Chile's strong economic growth and increase in pollution may cause it to consider all renewables in its energy portfolio. ...

BP has had a long involvement in photovoltaics that seemed to be a genuine corporate commitment.  But production snafus and stagnation during this decade eroded their market share and raised questions of their staying in the PV game.  This recent announcement of large-scale production expansion...

The Bank of America announcement on their environmental commitment may be more corporate public relations in these times of raised awareness.  However, looking through the commitments is potentially significant monetary support for green mortgages.  This alone can have a considerable impact...

The relationship of oil companies and photovoltaics has been an interesting conundrum, going back nearly four decades and starting the first commercial terrestrial market.  Oil companies have inherent institutional strengths and weaknesses when it comes to dealing with PV, and it may be that wind...

There have been two types of incentive and policy practices for renewable energy.  Strategic, steady and successful efforts by countries like Germany and Japan,  and haphazard practices by countries like Australia.  Investors need to take note, because effective incentive and policy management...

Wal-Mart is becoming the largest economic player in the US in a lot of ways, including electricity consumption.  A proposed deal for large-scale photovoltaic installations could be revolutionary for that industry.  But a successful procurement model would have PV electricity valued as a nonpolluting...

The photovoltaic market, shaking off silicon supply fears, continue their growth rates, shattering 2,000 megawatts of production in 2006.  More efficient silicon manufacturing, some new supply and the market share increase of noncrystalline and non-silicon products account for the...

Singles, not home runs, generally win baseball games, and the short game is also more vital in golf than 300+ yard drives.  Wind and photovoltaics may garner the headlines of the clean energy industry, but solar thermal is just as big and getting bigger, if not more glamorous. The latest indicators...

The world's wind power markets continued their impressive gains, with a variety of countries installing large numbers of turbines and high percentages of growth rates.  As traditional markets like Germany and Denmark mature, countries like India and Spain continue to grow steadily.  The US...

The US has competed in renewable energy markets badly hobbled by short-term and fractured policies and incentives.  Fundamental trends may finally allow the US to take the lead in renewable energy if it undertakes the necessary long term actions to make it so.
