Quick post, because when you dig into more than just wind power and try to look at energy production, you learn quite a bit more than you had planned.
First, you learn that when you take away the subsidies, wind power is pretty much last on the list of things that people want to invest in.
And it's not just because it costs to send and when you send you lose energy, it turns out that the future of energy production is something called 'distributed energy generation' which basically means build the source of the energy where it is going to be used.
You see, if you produce such a long way from where the energy is going to be used, you lose a lot when you send it and when you add it all up, it turns out you're actually losing a lot of money. And did you know, in Bygdsiljum, we create our own energy for the local energy company and use it locally.
But enough of that, this post is about solar energy and in the first half of this year, China ditched wind turbines and installed as many solar panels in 6 months as all of Australia had by the end of last year. But China are a backward country right .. they're playing catch up. Right?
But that isn't all, check out the picture below. There is a great story about this piece of glass.
