60% of electricity capacity added in Europe last year was renewable. In the U.S. it was over half. And renewables could outstrip fossil fuels worldwide in 2011.
Green energy finally seems to be gathering momentum inspite of the global recession, failure of Copenhagen and (temporarily) falling oil prices. Looks like we've finally turned the corner on this front. See here for some great background detail.
The next area to see progress may be green cars. I see major change there soon. We just need more choice and there could be a rapid take-up.
