The latest EuroStat report about energy production and usage in Europe in 2009 contains some good news (unless you are rooting for coal). While overall renewable energy production increased by 8.3% between 2008 and 2009, for a total share of 18.4% of energy production in the EU, coal consumption went the other way and dropped 16.3%.

Assessments of the state of the US and world wind industry are frankly a dime a dozen, however a new one by the Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory offers some insights not found elsewhere--particularly in growth
