I'm a huge fan of renewables. Basically the technology is hear to go 100% green. What's really missing are big government incentives to speed up the process. That's something that really makes me sad.

Agree. Giving bonuses to using them would somehow make up for the expense of installing them. And with more people installing them, more would enter into the business to fulfill the demand. And more people in the industry means more innovation to see who can make the best for the cheapest price.

Life without fossil fuel possible. Recently, it once again proved the Institute of electricity of Costa Rica (ICE), releasing a report, which stated that the country's electricity grid lasted 150 days on renewable energy. Half of these days occurred in the period from 16 June to 2 September. At this time, electricity was extracted with a variety of "green" energy sources.
According to the National center of energy control (CENCE), 80% of the electricity generated by hydropower, of 12.6% was generated by geothermal stations, and 7.6% have windmills and solar energy is brought only 0.01%.
And this is the second experiment in Costa Rica renewable energy. In 2015, the year the country endured them as much as 299 days. China, which is still jokingly referred to as "the world's factory", up to recent times has been the leader in the amount of emitted carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But earlier the situation was the following: the growth of the economy and the percentage of carbon dioxide emissions were at the same level. Now China's economy is growing, but the volume of harmful emissions is not increased. The fact is that the country actively reduce the consumption of coal and invest in renewable energy. Last year, as reported by Bloomberg, the financial investment in this sector from China was 115 billion dollars, which exceeded the volume of investments in "green" energy in the U.S. and Europe combined.
Denmark, according to the official plan of the government, by 2050, should completely abandon the use of energy fuels. Now the country has about 40% of the energy obtained via wind. Denmark has a very long coast line, that allows the construction of many wind farms.

Yes, it's really possible if the gov't would actually get involved more and keep politics out of this. For example, there are many options for wind power. I've seen standard wind farms, and then there are farms that are floated away from the shore. There fans that use the wind made when waves rush into a tunnel, and I've also seen like, long lines of floaters whose movement generate electricity from waves.

You are right, there are many ways to implement the wind renewable energy and by the time pass there are more and more new ways to genereate renewable energy.

It might actually allow us to turn global warming to our advantage. I suppose waves would start to become stronger as the seas heat up and water level rises. Sigh, if only we can harness the power of ever increasingly strong typhoons and hurricanes.
