webfarmerConsidering how far behind the Danes and the Germans they were in wind power development at one time, the Spanish never cease to amaze. I can't wait to see how fubar those developing new expensive nukes will be by comparison in about 5 years when rapidly advancing on-line energy storage has made intermittent energy sources into a distributed 24/7 supply option.
Spain Producers Say They Can Double Wind Power - Reuters - 16 Apr 08
"Spanish wind power producers on Tuesday said they could double the country's output between 2010 and 2020, which would be more than enough to offset the scheduled demise of the country's nuclear plants. Spain has about 14,000 megawatts of installed capacity in wind parks and government plans call for 20,000 MW to be installed by 2010 as part of a plan to produce more of the country's electricity from renewables.
Wind power association (AEE) president Jose Donoso said capacity could rise again to 40,000 MW by 2020. 'This is not only possible, it is an excellent opportunity for consolidating Spanish leadership in the sector,' Donoso told an energy conference in Barcelona."
