10 World's Largest Energy Renewable Projects

Interesting trivia on the world's largest renewable energy projects from Scientific American.

According to Sciam, ``Today, renewable energy sources generate 12 percent of electricity in the U.S. But wind, wave, sunshine and others represent more than 93 percent of the energy the country could be producing, according to the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy."

The list includes wind, geothermal, biomass, tidal or wave power, hydroelectric, solar and landfill gas...

Here are two samples of the renewable energy landmarks.

Alternative Energy: Geothermal Versus Coal

The debate on which alternative energy would be the most feasible should likewise apply to the Philippines, which has one of the world's largest geothermal reserves.

Read the rest of the article here from Scientific American

Additional Comment: If market forces are allowed to prevail then coal and geothermal would likely dominate the Philippine energy landscape. Hence, the ruckus over reviving the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant won't be required.
