 Article by WWEA Secretary General Stefan Gsänger
Rising oil, gas, coal and uranium prices, increasing awareness of the threats of climate change, irresolvable difficulties surrounding nuclear energy, as well as increasing energy demand from emerging and developing countries are only some of the myriad reasons the world is looking into alternative energy solutions. Renewable energies are shifting toward the center of such deliberations, but in order for them to meet rising demand, they will need to be harvested in a decentralized manner. Moving away from a centralized model will benefit everyone from small communities to sovereign nations. Countries such as Denmark and Germany are already reaping rewards and it's not too far-fetched to think that the United States could share in the success as well.
