Either governments are not serious about climate change or fossil-fuel firms are overvalued
“Sometimes I despair about ever making any progress on the climate issue. But when a formerly skeptical and very hard-nosed publication like the Economist comes up with an editorial like this, it seems we may have some hope after all. Many have been making …

全球风能理事会：全球风电装机再创新高
China Electricity Council
4月17日，全球风能理事会在布鲁塞尔发布全球风电市场发展报告，该报告详尽描述了全球风电市场在2012年的发展情况， 并发布未来五年（2013-2017）的风电发展预测。尽管经济合作组织国家（OECD）的政策发展充满不确定性, 并将显著影响未来几年全球的风电市场， 然而几个稳健的市场，如中国、印度和巴西，以及拉丁美洲、非洲和亚洲的一些新兴市场，将成为未来一段时间拉动全球市场的主要力量。
“尽管风电存在变化性，但是对于产业稳定发展的真正影响并非来自风电自身的变化性，而是设计能源政策的决策者的变化和不可预测性。”全球风能理 事会秘书长Steve Sawyer说，“所有那些一直以来推动风电发展的驱动因素依然存在，如保障能源安全， 不受燃料价格波动 的影响， 促进区域经济发展，减缓气候变化，减少地区的空气和水污染等。目前，风电的价格正在越来越多的市场里变得具有竞争力， 而众多政府依然 大量补贴化石燃料，相当于鼓励排放二氧化碳，在2012年，这些排放所得到的补贴相当于$110/吨二氧化碳。”
