The Potential of Solar and Wind Energy

From the Environmental News Network we read;

Thousands of megawatts of new renewable energy potential in Africa, Asia, South and Central America have been discovered by a pioneering project to map the solar and wind resource of 13 developing countries.

This is really good news as the potential for deploying solar panels and wind turbines in these countries is far greater than previously supposed. Klaus Toepfer, UNEP's Executive Director says: "These countries need greatly expanded energy services to help in the fight against poverty and to power sustainable development. SWERA offers them the technical and policy assistance to capture the potential that renewable energy can offer."

Think about it. Both being able to produce a lot of energy letting this energy to be used for the well being of thousands of poor people. GREAT.
