Greatly appreciated.

Since most naysayers or especially Clean coal types will attack the site as being biased toward clean energy, down side information must also be included (accurately covered in a dispassionate way) to avoid the perception of bias.

I say this as a seriously senior citizen who supports all forms of clean energy, and seem to be be a lone supporter among large number of my senior friends who buy into the news and TV adds that pile on the incorrect myths we face today.

Keep up the good work

“Spain’s wind energy industry is happily spreading some good news to detract from a troublesome slowdown in the sector and uncertainty over future regulation: The country beat Germany to become Europe’s leading producer of wind energy last year.

In 2010, electricity from Spanish wind farms reached 42,976 GWh, exceeding Germany’s output of 36,600 GWh for the first time ever….

Noteworthy in Spain’s climb to the top of the EuroObserv’ER ranking is the fact that the country’s wind energy capacity last year, at 20,676 MW, was below that of Germany at 27,214 MW.

Unlike Germany, Spain experienced a year of high winds in 2010. Also contributing to higher output was the sector’s use of more advanced turbines, according to the association, which noted Spain’s late development of the wind energy market and thus access to the latest technology. The sector also benefited from a better system for integrating renewable energy into the national grid system, according to AEE.”

one of my pet peeves as well

Also needed – percentage of total electricity from wind for each country.
