GLOBAL WIND POWER CAPACITY TO REACH OVER 700GW BY '20: GLOBAL DATA

Global wind market up 15.6% in '15.

US continued to lead world in wind powergen in '15 - over 190M Mwh - even though China, Europe have near double US' installed capacity. China wind powergen 185M Mwh last year.

Over 1/2 of installed US utility-scale solar this year will be above states' renewable portfolio standards obligations. Over 6Gw. (What does that mean? Solar is competitive with all other powergen now.)

China, US, Japan to lead solar PV market this year. Europe slowing down.

Yale to shut down its climate institute. (I presume they found out everything they need to know about it. Or it's a political thing.)

Alaska hauled in snow by rail for Iditarod.

W Virginia blocked science standards teaching again over global warming controversy. (Well, they have been a coal state. Yea, try to keep the kids ignorant despite their ability to find out truth on their own. Who are the ignorant here? Duh. It'd be laughable if not so sad.)

US oil rig count down 13 last week. Natgas count up 1.

Shipowners calling for CO2 reductions pledge.

Milan wants to pay commuters to bike to work.

2 solar projects - 28Mw total - connected to Punjab India grid.

Brazil state shelved 200Mw solar auction. (Brazil in financial hurt.)

Islamic Development Bank $200M for 600Mw natgas-fired power plant project in Tunisia. $309M total projected cost.

Gaelectric to sell stake or all of 200Mw of wind farms in Ireland for up to E825M. (Who am I to judge how overpriced that would be? May be land and extras.)

Suzlon got 71Mw wind turbines order from India comp.

$359M investment in Phase I 300Mw wind project in Australia.

100MW solar thermal plant in Spain selling for $131M. Cash yield over 10%/yr.

Solar City (SCTY) raised ~$50M from private placement.

NRG Yield EBITDA up 23% in '15.

Abengoa (ABGB) E1.2B net loss.

Sun Edison (SUNE), China comp partnering on 1.5Gw solar cell factory project in China. SUNE also delayed reporting '15 results.
