Many venture capitalists and investment bankers see a carbon-trading regime and massive subsidies for renewable energy as a potential source of windfall profits.
It is also an "enabler" for renewable energy, providing a source of electricity that can step in to fill the gap when the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining.

But the UK government is heavily dependent on wind energy more than any other renewable source of power, to provide 15% of its green energy by 2020.
In the past, all technologies were subsidised equally, so most investment went into onshore wind, the cheapest source of renewable energy.
Wind and solar as a source of renewable energy is a goal that most electric-generating companies, including General Electric (GE), Duke Energy (DUK), and Northwestern Energy (NEW), are hotly pursuing.

There had been "absolutely no change in government policy", added the source, and "we will be reassuring the renewable energy industry we haven't shifted our view at all".
Not everyone is convinced that wind-power is the most reliant route to clean, renewable carbon-free energy, and it is concerning that Britain is relying on a power source that must be backed up by more constant technologies such as nuclear, coal, or gas, because the wind blows inconsistently, as is its nature.
To help us reach that goal, we are working hard to maximize our opportunities related to shale exploration and drilling, electricity generation and distribution, continued development of renewable energy and alternative fuels as well as a continued support for coal, which will remain a vital source of energy for Ohio.
