Global Capacity of Renewable Energy
Technologies Total global capacity for
wind-generated power reached 100 GW in 2007.
Germany, by far, has the most installed wind
capacity at about 22 GW. The U.S. is second with
about 17 GW. Spain comes in third with about 15
GW. China,however, had the most installed new
wind capacity in 2007, adding 3.4 GW in just one
year. Solar PV, for its part, reached 11 GW of
total installed global capacity. About 8 GW of
that is grid-tied capacity with the remaining 3
GW coming from off-grid applications. Globally,
about 240 GW of renewable energy are installed.
Small hydro and wind lead that mix with about 70
GW each. But biomass, solar and geothermal are
quickly gaining traction. The fact China has
more installed gigawatts (50 GW) than the U.S.
(30 GW) and China also installed 75 of the
world's new solar hot water capacity in 2006.
The U.S. had about 0.4 of that capacity.

RE 2007 GLOBAL CONTRIBUTION AND
INVESTMENT
From Financial Times today (6\30\08), p.2
"Renewable energy still provides only a small
portion of the world's energy, at about 5 per
cent last year, but it accounted for 23 percent
of new generating capacity added in the year
2007" gt Global Investments in Clean Energy
Technology - Global investments in solar, wind
and other clean energy technologies topped 148
billion last year (2007), up 60 from 2006
according to New Energy Finance. See the press
release at http//www.newenergyfinance.com/NEF/HT

CLEAN ENERGY JOBS STUDIES IN 2008
Renewable energy accounts for the employment,
directly or indirectly, of 2.3 million people
worldwide, with the largest gains made where
governments support renewables, according to a
Worldwatch Institute study. Using available data,
the study estimates there are 1 million biomass
and biofuel jobs, 624,000 solar thermal jobs,
300,000 wind jobs and 170,000 solar photovoltaic
jobs. (1)
A new economic study by Navigant Consulting finds
that over 116,000 U.S. jobs and nearly 19
billion in U.S. investment could be lost in just
one year if renewable energy tax credits are not
renewed by Congress, The study finds that over
76,000 jobs are put at risk in the wind
industry, and approximately 40,000 jobs in the
solar industry. The states that could lose the
most jobs include Texas, Colorado, Illinois,
Oregon, Minnesota, Washington, Iowa, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and California.
The lions share of these states would lose more
than 1,000 jobs. (2)
The Blue-Green Alliance, the partnership of the
Sierra Club and the United Steelworkers, has
commissioned a series of new reports highlighting
the economic opportunities that could come from
a serious investment in renewable energy. The
reports find that a serious committment to
renewable could create 820,000 new good-paying
manufacuring jobs across the USAkm. (3)

STANDARDIZED INTERCONNECTION

• 29 States allow DG under IEEE consensus standards
  which has allowed smart battery banks like
  GridPoint to enter the market - but we need a
  national interconnection standard NOW!

Human beings are now carrying out a large scale
geophysical experiment of a kind that could not
have happened in the past nor be reproduced in
the future. Within a few centuries, we are
returning to the atmosphere and oceans the
concentrated organic carbon stored in sedimentary
rocks over hundreds of millions of years. -
