i am a german living in the UK and have to say i am proud of my country’s decision to abandon nuclear energy – a source of power which is not only dangerous to run but also leaves nuclear waste for milennia. There is huge investment into renewable energies – almost 20 % of our energy is coming from them .. the price is higher costs for energy, huge restructuring within the electricity companies (and joblosses), a lot of money for new infra structure needed (all the wind energy is produced in the north, but the energy consuming industries are in the west and southwest), yet germans are prepared to pay that price. incredible !

I am very, very pleased to discover that the U.S. is number one on the list. Proof that we’re not just a bunch of greedy warmongers. Sorry Canada! With fossil fuels becoming more and more scarce, it is imperative that this and other similar (e.g., organic farming) trends continue.

I really appreciate Germany. I'm not from this country, but I just can't imagine how those people live there! They take care of renewable sources to make energy and the population agree with it! I know that the U.S.A are investing in renewable energy, but we all know that they are the most polluent contry in the world and that these plants aren't even working, and if they are , this energy only worths to make people's water hot. And the energy from Germany goes all to buildings, houses and to lampposts. Congratulations, Germany! The world is saying thanks!

Anything that promotes the adoption of solar energy should be applauded. Leasing is one option that makes sense for some homeowners, but it has some drawbacks. Notably, the savings are significantly less compared to other purchase methods, there could be balloon payments, it requires a very high FICO, and there could be complications upon a sale of the property. A property sales requires the new owner to sign a leasing contract with the provider, or a balloon payment for the current contract.
If you are concerned about the upfront cost for solar panels, there are many financing programs available to homeowners with good credit. Some loans are tax-deductible too. Buying the system outright will generate the greatest savings.

Canada doesn’t rely too heavily on solar or wind. They do however derive 61% on their energy from renewable hydro.
The rest is mainly nuclear. Despite having the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world, they do not depend on it for power.

So what are the top 5 for wind energy? Germany, USA, India, Spain and what? China?
You know China being anywhere near the top 5 in any renewable energy source is surprising. Doesn’t China rely mostly on coal? I haven’t seen a single windmill here, and the only renewable source I’ve seen is a small scale dam powering a town and a scenic route up a mountain. That and the three gorges dam, of course, but still…
