Judging by the numbers, you’d be half-right to conclude that 2011 was a boom year for U.S. renewables. Solar showed explosive results as installations more than doubled, delivering 1.86 new gigawatts in a market that previously was measured only in megawatts. Wind too had a successful year with 6.8 gigawatts of new turbines connected to the grid. Looking at the long list of projects readying for construction, 2012 looks likely to put even more impressive numbers on the board.
