From: habshi on 4 Dec 2009 19:32 $1 trillion has been invested in renewable energy for the last ten year. Mandating that pension funds invest 10-20% of their funds in renewable system ie $1-2trillion a year of their $120 trillion funds , would give us endless energy for ever excerpt This new, never before reported number, showing $1,248,740,645,993.00 (over $1.248 trillion) in total investment since 2007, indicates how investors and entrepreneurs are leading governments in promoting sustainable growth. The scoreboard totals investments in solar, wind, geothermal, ocean/hydro, energy efficiency and storage, and agriculture. We purposefully omitted nuclear, "clean coal," carbon capture and sequestration, and biofuels. We indicate which investments have been publically announced and committed by major companies for 2010 and beyond The Climate Prosperity Alliance uses the Climate Solutions 2 computer model of Australia's Climate Risk Pty., showing how $1 trillion invested every year for the next 10 years can assure the global transition to sustainable prosperity and job growth. This $10 trillion is less than the bailouts of failed banks in the USA and Europe and less than 10% of the world's pension and institutional funds of $120 trillion. Institutional fund managers can shift 10% of their assets away from hedge funds, risky derivatives and commodity speculation to real investments in a greener global economy, thereby assuring their beneficiaries a healthier future. "While we encourage progress toward directly investing in growing the green economy, we urge government officials meeting in Copenhagen December 7-14, 2009, to follow the lead of these private investors that have already committed $1.248 trillion. We applaud our pension fund colleagues of the UN Principles of Responsible Investing who have joined in pledges to allocate more of their members' $19 trillion of assets into similar green companies. Now, governments must go beyond arguing over targets, caps and carbon-trading - and follow the lead of China and the USA in their comprehensive plan for cooperation on clean energy and climate change. Such a general agreement in Copenhagen can promote and underwrite more direct investments and growth of the green economy," said Dr. Henderson. http://www.csrwire.com/press/press_release/28298-New-Global-Climate-Prosperity-Scoreboard-Finds-Over-1-Trillion-Invested-In-Green-Since-2007

From: habshi on 6 Dec 2009 17:36 Sorry that was $1 trillion over two years ie $1,000 b, and they have just annouced that solar panels last not twenty , but forty years , so they pay back for twenty years with free fuel after the payback time is done. What if they were found to last 100 years? Then it would be a no brainer for the govt to give everyone the money to put them on the roof and not have to pay OPEC hundreds of billions each year for oil imports.

Truly astounding ! If the Clinton foundation can add 6,000 MW in just one country in India in say two or three years ie six nuclear power stations worth, can you imagine if this was replicated worldwide. excerpt http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/solar-mission-to-attract-rs-20000-cr-investment-till-2012/80282/on In the next three years, we will add 1,300 Mw of solar energy, including grid and non-grid, as the first phase of the 20,000 Mw solar power by 2022," Union minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah said here today. "Based on the experience of the first phase we will finalise the next phases for implementation," Abdullah said. Abdullah said the Clinton Foundation, of former US President Bill Clinton, would construct two solar thermal power projects of 3000 MW each in Gujarat and Rajasthan. "All-round participation will be required if we have to take forward the solar mission," he said. Abdullah was in Jamuria in Burdwan district of West Bengal to inaugurate the country's first 2 Mw solar photovoltaic power plant promoted by West Bengal Green Energy Development Corporation supported by DPSC. |
