Alternative Energy: Renewable Fuels
When it comes to renewable fuel sources, the Germans have really taken off, and they've become one of the big participants in the alternative energy business. The German people established a global record in 2006 by investing over $10 billion (US) in research, development, and deployment of wind turbines, biogas power plants, and solar gathering cells under the auspices of the country's electricity feed legislation. Germany's "feed rules" allow German houses to connect to the electrical grid using renewable energy and then sell any excess energy produced back to the power company at retail pricing. This financial incentive has propelled Germany to the top of the world in terms of the number of operating solar arrays, biogas plants, and wind turbines.These renewable energy sources create 50 terawatt hours of power each year, accounting for 10% of Germany's total energy production. Germany deployed 100,000 solar energy harvesting installations in 2006.
