Renewable energy strong despite recession
SFGATE - A devastating recession slowed but did not stop the clean energy industry's growth in 2009, a report issued Tuesday found.
Helped in part by government stimulus funding, the world spent $63.5 billion on wind farms and turbines last year, up 23.5 percent from 2008. The global biofuel market rose 29 percent, hitting $44.9 billion, according to the annual Clean Energy Trends report from the Clean Edge Inc. research firm.
