Germany Uses Economies of Scale to Shape Renewables Market

September 16, 2014 by Karen Henry

In the race for renewable energy adoption, Germany is the clear leader among industrialized nations. Over the last 10 years, it has spent more than $140 billion on its renewable energy program, using guaranteed returns to lure farmers, homeowners, businesses and local cooperatives to install solar panels, wind turbines, biogas plants and other sources of renewable energy.

The aggressive, multi-billion dollar push was part of a larger plan to lower the cost of going green by creating rapid growth in the once-tiny market for renewable power, according to an article in The New York Times.

The plan seems to have paid off.

Chinese manufacturers seized the opportunity to meet Germany’s intense demand for wind turbines and solar panels, helping to push prices down faster than expected. Today, Germany is well on its way to getting 30 percent of its power from renewable sources.

Citing security threat, Obama expands U.S. role fighting Ebola

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Tuesday called West Africa's deadly Ebola outbreak a looming threat to global security and announced a major expansion of the U.S. role in trying to halt its spread, including deployment of 3,000 troops to the region.

"The reality is that this epidemic is going to get worse before it gets better," Obama said at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Atlanta headquarters.

"But right now, the world still has an opportunity to save countless lives. Right now, the world has the responsibility to act, to step up and to do more. The United States of America intends to do more," Obama added.

The U.S. plan, a dramatic expansion of Washington's initial response last week, won praise from the U.N. World Health Organization, aid workers and officials in West Africa. But health experts said it was still not enough to contain the epidemic, which is quickly growing and has caused local healthcare systems to buckle under the strain of fighting it.
