My day is coming to a weary and welcome close, after a day celebrating Christ’s birth with church, family, and friends, while our US readers are just waking up to the first light of Christmas Day.

Whether celebrations are over, just beginning, or if this time of year is just a convenient excuse to stuff yourself full of turkey or pork, we at CleanTechnica want to thank you for your time, your comments, and your visiting us so regularly.

We’ve loved covering the world of clean technology and energies, shining a light on the wonderful world of solar and wind energies, electric cars, and the invariably quirky stories of the year.

On a personal note, I’ve relished the opportunity to act as Associate Editor, allowing me a bit of freedom to range into the wonderful world of wind technology. As I wrote in a recent post, I believe that wind technology — specifically offshore wind farms — represent the future of global energy production, so I thought I would share my favourite posts from the year, focusing solely on the wind industry:

• Vestas And GE Tie For First Place Among 2012 Turbine Manufacturers
• China Accounted For 35% Of Global Onshore Wind Capacity

• UK Offshore Wind Capacity Grows 80% In A Year, Expect More To Come

• Offshore Wind Investment To Average Almost €15 Billion Per Year
• Wind And Solar Competing With Nuclear
• Vestas Begins Operating Wind Industry’s Largest Test Bench
• Vestas To Supply Middle East With First Utility-Scale Wind Project

So, from the whole CleanTechnica team, we want to wish you a Merry Christmas, a safe holidays, and a Happy end to 2013.

I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Here at CleanTechnica, we implemented a limited paywall for a while, but it always felt wrong — and it was always tough to decide what we should put behind there. In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it!! So, we've decided to completely nix paywalls here at CleanTechnica. But...
