The United States has apparently regained #1 in EY’s Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (RECAI), a biannual report that has been put out since 2003.

South Korea announced it will build the world’s largest offshore wind farm, a multi-billion dollar, 2.5 GW wind farm that will go up in three phases off the country’s southwest coast. A consortium of eight South Korean companies led by Korea Electric Power will carry out the project as the country’s industrial companies increasingly look at wind and renewable power as economic growth engines.
Clean energy is a job creator. If anyone says otherwise (or says that limiting fossil fuel pollution kills jobs), they are either smoking some serious crack or are members of the polluter-funded Tea Party (or both).
