"Largest Green Energy Project in the World" (13 GW) being Planned in India
Step over Siemens, Airvoice Group and Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam are now planning what they say would be the “largest green energy project in the world” in India.
Airvoice Group is an Indian mobile phone and commodity export firm, and it seems to see where the money is going to be in the future — in clean energy. It recently formed a joint venture with public body Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam in order to invest $50 billion in a major clean energy project (perhaps the world’s largest) over the next 10 years. It wants to build 13 GW worth of wind and solar power capacity in a rural area of Karnataka in southwest India.
The majority of the planned capacity would be from solar photovoltaics — 10 GW. And the remaining 3 GW would be from wind farms.

The first phase will be 100 MW of solar and 200 MW of wind capacity and it is expected to be commissioned in the next 36 months.
“We have identified 12 high potential sites in Karnataka for the solar energy project,” Kapoor told the Hindustan Times. The company has identified another four districts in Karnataka where it plans to set up the 3 GW of wind farms.
“Tendering for turbines will start in the next 20-25 days. We are in talks with several companies, including Eurowinds and Suzlon for sourcing our turbines,” Kapoor said.
Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam is, itself, a joint venture between the governments of India and the district of Himachal Pradesh. It will have 48% equity in the new company.
Of course, a 13 GW project would blow away the largest solar and wind projects in the world today, but it is still smaller than the 20 GW wind power project China is working on. Nonetheless, as they get built over the next 10 or 20 years or so, the title could get passed back and forth.
Will the US Congress continue to wait on strong clean energy legislation while India, China and others start their engines?

I’d say the answer to your last question is yes. Not only are both the U.S. govt. and U.S. companies dragging their heels over a potentially profitable future, as you point out, in green tech, but the wind turbines for India will probably be produced in China!

Watch out, USA. India and China may still be somewhat backward (who else would put lead in toothpaste meant for children). Although they have a long way to go, they are moving fast.
Once it is gone, it is hard to get it back!

Section of free electricity.
“BES” DEVICE – Fuel-free electric engine
Constructed for the production of free electric energy.
Uses the principle of producing energy from physical vacuum (ether). This is an ethero-dynamic process.
The sizes and the weight of the device on 1 kW: weight-0,5 kg, sizes- 20cm x 20cm x 20cm.
There are no analogues in the world. All products are patented. Term technical safeguards to every detail of the device from 1 year to 30 years. Environmentally safe. Continuous and alternating current. 50 Hz (can be any, made to order). Manufacturing period of 1 day, depending on the amount of order and power. To work on the production technology “BES” need specialists: electricians, fitters, engineers, builders. Technology “BES” waiting for all people on earth, the time comes, when will the monopoly of some states to regulate the cost of electricity. All motorists cars, trucks, all sea and river fleet, all who use any equipment that needs electricity, it’s all our potential customers. For our technologies are not dangerous man-made disasters, as we do not poles, not pull miles of wire, and install our equipment separately for each item ranging from 100 watts to 100 kW. In case of failure of one object, all other facilities will be operated independently, and without prejudice to anything if some other object, the accident occurred. An accident can happen to any object in the world, whether it is a perpetual motion machine or a conventional power plant, nothing lasts forever on Earth, but many of the consequences of possible accidents can be prevented in advance. We all know that natural resources are not infinite and we all care about how our children will live. We therefore welcome the opportunity to introduce our new technologies which are increasingly important, we can save natural resources for future generations and to protect nature for our heirs and successors. Huge market awaits our electric technology, and then these electric cars can go without recharging their batteries. All household electrical appliances and in general all electrical appliances for the convenience of people’s lives, without which humanity cannot itself provide a normal life at home, everything will work on our “BES” technologies. Investors will get a huge profit, making investments in our technology, particularly technology “BES”, as prices for our products “BES” minimal and the cost of our products is very low. These technologies can be installed in the homes of old buildings and in new homes, which is very important for builders and reduces the costly part, for the laying of cables. Complete automation systems and control over work product “BES” via cellular, satellite and the Internet. Alarm system “BES®GSM” promptly notify
