“Wind power is often the most attractive option for new power generation in both economic terms and in terms of increasing energy security, not to mention the environmental and economic development benefits. Volatile fossil fuel prices and unreliable supply policies from fossil fuel rich countries increase the risk of relying on conventional sources for power production,” said GWEC’s Chairman, Prof. Arthouros Zervos. “The wind industry also creates many new jobs: over 400,000 people are now employed in this industry, and that number will be in the millions in the near future. The leading markets in terms of new installed capacity in 2008 were the US and China. New US wind energy installations totalled 8,358 MW for a total installed capacity of 25,170 MW. The US has now officially overtaken Germany (23,902 MW) as number one in wind power. Europe and North America are running neck-to-neck, with about 8,900 MW (8.9 GW) each of new installed capacity in 2008, with Asia closely following with 8,600 MW (8.6 GW).”
Green Star Alternative Energy, Inc. (Pink Sheets: GSAE) is taking a leadership position in promoting renewable energy to combat climate change and meet rising energy demand. Green Star is acquiring Notos d.o.o. to become the Republic of Serbia’s first wind power developer. Notos was invited by the Slovenian Ministry of Energy to represent Serbia’s alternative energy sector at the Bled Strategic Forum on “Energy and Climate Change: Si.nergy for the Future” held in Slovenia on August 31st and September 1st. At this key international summit the Green Star and Notos team participated in strategic discussions with high level government representatives, EU officials, private sector leaders, energy industry experts on the challenges of energy security and climate change.
