NEW YORK (UPI) -- The United States and Europe added more power
capacity from renewable sources like wind and solar than from
conventional sources in 2009, a report says.
This year or next, experts predict, the world as a whole will add more
capacity to the electricity supply from renewable sources than from
traditional sources such as coal, gas or nuclear plants, a report by
the U.N. Environment Program said Thursday.
China surpassed the United States in 2009 as the country with the
greatest investment in clean energy, the report said, with China's
wind farm development enjoying the greatest investments.
Countries that encourage renewable energy have roughly doubled, the
report noted, from 55 in 2005 to more than 100 today, half of them in
the developing world.
In 2009 renewable sources represented 25 percent of global electrical power
