I read this morning about more coal minings deaths in China. 53 dead fathers/brothers/husbands. What a crying shame that we don’t see the light of investing so much more in renewables to rid ourselves of these risky entreprises all in the name of energy supply.
Take just ONE fiscal year of combined profits of all the coal and oil companies in the world and you’ll probably reach a figure which exceeds ALL of the investment in solar power to date throughout its entire history.
Particular quandry is created for me when I see that China WANTS to bring about a solar power revolution yet focuses first on a wind-based strategy which simply mimics the current grid, rather than the huge potential of all its existing roof tops where the sun could create immediate impact without so much as another square metre of land being used up to house a windmill.
Hopefully the central government of China soon realizes that its greatest potential escape from the most dangerous coal mines in the world lies right atop the buildings it has raced to build and which have created in large part the shortage of energy it faces.

If anyone is thinking about solar power as a investment option and don’t know where to start, I wrote an article for you.
