LONDON -- More than a fifth of the world's electrical power production now comes from renewable sources and in 2013 renewables accounted for more than 56 percent of all net additions to global power capacity. These remarkable conclusions come from this year’s Renewables Global Status Report (GSR) from REN21. This highly-regarded annual analysis — the 2014 edition was released this summer — concludes that renewable electricity capacity jumped by more than 8 percent overall in 2013, to produce some 22 percent of all global power production. Total global installed renewable electricity capacity reached a staggering 1,560 GW in 2013.

1. Now if we can only figure out a way to put the oil sheiks out of business, along w/ exxon

and their crowd....maybe we can start to save what's left of our planet.

2. An added benefit to putting the oil sheiks out of business would be...

… funding for terrorist organizations would dry up

4. Thank you!

Do you suppose we could convince the repukes (and neolibs ) that renewable energy is a national security issue?

7. No

Since they think it's a commie plot. What we should do is run attack ad that say every time you support the oil industry you are supporting jihadists.
