Finnish experts: Solar and wind power yield cheapest energy Scientists at the eastern Lappeenranta University have calculated that China would become even more profitable if it were to make the switch to renewable energy within the next five to ten years. As the largest energy consumer in the world, China’s energy production remains a cornerstone of all global climate initiatives. The Finnish project was recently recognized in Japan for its groundbreaking simulation work. --- The Finnish researchers are confident that renewable energy sources like solar and wind power will become the cheapest form of energy production in Asia within the next ten years. What is more, energy produced in this way provides the added benefits of being inexpensive, emission-free and promoting self-sufficiency. Professor of solar energy Christian Breyer from the Lappeenranta University says the project’s large-scale simulation of functioning renewable energy networks is the first of its kind. “A network fully based on renewable energy is possible in Northeast Asia. Renewable energy is also the cheapest form of energy production available to them there. All of the other options are more expensive. It is a new insight,” says Breyer. --- “Costs fall by 20 percent every time capacity is doubled. By 2025-2030 the price of solar electricity will be half what it is now. In practice, it is the cheapest form of energy production in a good chunk of the world. Our energy networks will change dramatically as a result,” says Vainikka. Finnish energy company Fortum has already invested heavily in solar energy business in India, where tremendous growth is expected. Fortum recently connected a 10 megawatt solar plant project in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh to the Indian power grid. “The share of solar energy in particular will grow in the coming years. It is definitely one of Fortum’s top priorities in India. Projects totalling hundreds of megawatts of power are announced there all the time, as well as new solar power plants. Solar energy is reaching adulthood. Soon it will manage on its own, without support,” says Fortum’s Technology Director Heli Antila. --- continued in the article... http://yle.fi/uutiset/finnish_experts_solar_and_wind_power_yield_cheapest_energy/7736356
Here is my view on that, I don't know, don't care, and no right to know what happens behind closed doors. As long as no children get hurt and there are no unwilling parties who the fuck cares what you do on your own time, if that is who you are, I still don't care.
"Hey everyone, I'm straight. That's right, heterosexual. I just wanted you all to know because that's who I am" -Yes, thank you but that is not the correct answer for the radii of this field. Anyone else want to try?
2 meter tall frilled shark caught: It has 300 teeth in 25 rows. It's 80 million years old species, it was found at unusual depth of 700m when it usually lurks at 1200m depth. Yes, it's taller than an adult man. http://www.independent.co.uk/enviro...ying-frilled-shark-from-the-deep-9992077.html
