Brandon Baker With more than $750 billion of holdings in its sovereign wealth fund, Norway is on the brink of potentially making renewable energy investments around the world. Erna Solberg, who will be named Norway’s second female prime minister, has already heard proposals from her government to use sovereign wealth fund money to invest in sustainable companies and projects in developing countries, Climate News Network reported today. Leader of the conservative party, Solberg won the election in September. To read the full article, click on the title.

This week 1700 Dutch households raised EUR 1.3 million in just thirteen hours to buy shares in a wind turbine – setting a new world record for crowdfunding. For the next 12 years, these households will receive their own sustainable energy from the cooperatively owned turbine. With electricity costs set to rise, the ‘wind-sharers’ will benefit from big annual savings – by anticipating and managing energy needs. Facilitated by Dutch company WindCentrale, the wind shares were sold for EUR 200 each and households bought single shares or blocks of shares. Each share corresponds to approximately 500kWh of electricity per year (the annual average household consumption in the Netherlands is 3500kWh). Harm Reitsma, founder of Windcentrale, comments: 'We expected things would move fast, but nobody anticipated the run on the wind-shares that happened yesterday evening. An increasing number of people want to generate their own electricity. Solar panels aren't always an option and so wind-shares in a remote wind turbine gives everyone the chance to take matters into their own hands and generate their own clean electricity. As a result, interest in our wind-shares has been huge, and continues to rise. A good example of Power To The People!' To read the full article, click on the title.

Two scientists have a plan to power 25 percent of the world with solar in just over a decade. Here's how it just might happen. Our dark and dirty world is on carbon overload, yet we're pumping the stuff out as if we were still in those heady oblivious days of the early industrial revolution. Coal, oil, and gas still juice our frantically expanding civilization. Meanwhile, the world's scientists are officially 95 percent certainthat our heavy carbon diet is the root cause of the fast-rising temperatures of recent decades, and that we're on track to get a lot warmer still.

JAcK Digital Media's insight:
The focus of the utopian research coalition would be to precipitate the two major scientific breakthroughs that both researchers see as holding the key to universal solar power: battery storage and better electrical conductors: "The first is to make solar power available on a 24-hour basis, when the sun shines only part of the day and can be obscured by cloud. This requires a major breakthrough in the storage of electricity."The second is to reduce the cost of transmitting electricity from areas of high luminosity and low land value to the major population centres of the world."

looks interesting
How cool would this be.
