On this Saint Patrick’s Day, we’d like to draw attention to the wonderful Ireland, a country that is setting standards in clean renewable energy even when its citizens aren’t swathed in celebratory shades of green.
Recent studies have shown that there is enough onshore and offshore wind around the island to supply all of its energy needs. Ireland currently has a fraction of the turbines and storage mechanisms to fully exploit this renewable source, but that hasn’t stopped it from having high goals. Ireland hopes to get 33 to 42 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2010, an impressive aim for an industrialized country!
