Green Energy Projects: Hit New Record In 2015

Let’s quickly look at the top article of the week before getting into the current story.

It takes no effort to panic and that is why there is no reward, but it takes effort to remain calm in the face of panic and that is why the rewards are usually very high. Mass Psychology has a very clear stance on this position; stock market crashes are nothing but long term buying opportunities, for the masses always sell at the bottom and buy at the top. They are the perfect cannon fodder candidates; nothing has changed and nothing will change for the next millennia

Overall we expect volatility levels to remain high, so expect swings in both directions ranging from mild to possibly wild and we would not be surprised if many parts of the world experience weather patterns bordering on the insane in the weeks to come. Wild weather is usually followed by insane human behaviour. Hopefully, we are wrong as when it comes to wild weather we are only too happy to be proven wrong as it brings untold pain and misery to many.
On the political frontier, the situation is going to continue trending towards the insane and by 2020, any sane person is going to think that they need some strong medicine to follow what the candidates really have to offer. So far the scene has all the makings of a D rated movie Market Insights: October Stock Market Crash Update

Global investments in renewable energy, including wind and solar, hit a world record in 2015.

The world collectively spent nearly $286 billion on renewable energy development in 2015. The investment comes following an unprecedented worldwide boom in renewables in 2014 that suggested some countries are shifting dramatically toward low-carbon energy. Rising investments are in part being driven by the falling cost of solar and wind farm construction.

Yet even more investment is needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Low and no-carbon energy sources are a major part of the solution outlined in the Paris climate agreement struck last year to keep global warming within 2°C (3.6°F) of pre-industrial temperatures.
Renewable energy investments, excluding large hydroelectric projects, jumped 5 percent last year, leaping over the previous investment record of $278.5 billion set in 2011.

The findings were published in an annual report published on Thursday by the UN Environment Programme, the Frankfurt School and Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

The money put into renewables was more than double the $130 billion that spent on fossil fuel power plants. Developing countries led the renewable charge. China, India, Brazil and other developing countries put $156 billion into renewables last year, a 19 percent increase over 2014.
