U.S. Market Report shows high Wind Energy Investment in 2010

A recent U.S. Market report from Peachtree Capital Advisors showed the wind industry with 4.8 billion in transactional value in 2010. A bulk of the investment was seen in energy generation projects for wind.

The report showed a large portion, 85 percent, of the federal money allotted to subsidize renewable energy generation construction went to wind companies.

The report supported continued investment in 2011 in renewable energies, specifically wind, because of less initial investment and quicker returns than other renewables like solar and biofuels.

The report argues the losers in 2010 were bioenergy firms, who say a 27-percent decline from 2009 investment. The article supports that higher investment needs due to high demands of R&D and time for this market is holding back investment. Do you agree?
