Default "The economics of climate change"

is the motto of the 2nd German Conference on Climate Change which will be held on October 23, sponsored by the EnBW AG, the "Power Pioneers".

Al Gore will be there, too.

Germany sells the most climate friendly technolgy worldwide. The renewable energy industry is proposed to overtake ze beloved automobile industry in Germany by the next decade.

The USA is already a strong competitor on second place.

As for transcontinental investments, the German energy giant E.ON is investing EUR 3.5 billion into US wind energy in New York and Texas after snatching Airtricity`’s North American assets. "This takeover marks the first time E.ON has attained a strong renewables market position with considerable growth potential outside of Europe"

Now that Al Gore has brought the climate change to the attention of more Americans, the rate of growth of investments into green technology will rise due to a new customer awareness.
“The U.S. wind energy market is one of the most attractive worldwide. According to Ernst & Young's "Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Indices", it scores 72, which is the highest score, followed by India, Spain and the UK, which score 64 each. Given the extension of government funding and the introduction of renewables guidelines at state level, the U.S. wind energy market is going to be generating growth rates in excess of 10 percent annually expected over the next 10 years.”
