Abstract: . . .  to the convention on climate change ended in a stalemate, and differences are not likely to be resolved soon between the new Bush Administration in the U.S. and European nations. The failure of the world community to agree on mechanisms and incentives to reduce emissions of gases that contribute to global warming—even at a time when public opinion is increasingly aware of the impacts of climate change from the North Pole to small Pacific Islands--is not likely to slow wind energy’s growth in the short term, although it sets back the likelihood of agreement on and implementation of international . . .
. . .  production tax credit is extended, if European policies continue to support renewable energy as the region moves towards an increasingly competitive market, and if nations in the rest of the world adopt provisions to support renewable energy even as they restructure and privatize their energy markets, wind energy is likely to thrive, and provide growing economies worldwide with a clean source of electricity, high-tech jobs, and insurance against price spikes and shortages in natural gas and other fuel supplies.
