Topic: January 14
The Guardian recently reported that one of Spain's top
sources for electricity in 2013 was windpower (Wind power was Spain's top source of electricity in 2013)
The same week, the New York Times came out with an article
that details Spain's withdrawal of support for solar energy--a cut that the
Spanish government sees as unavoidable (though it hits small time investors hardest).
The two articles suggest Spain's position as a country
pursuing green initiatives at a time of economic crisis. I would like to get
your opinion both on Spain as a green country, and the government actions
regarding solar power.
What do you think of the government changing its contract
and effectively paying less (and even charging) energy producers? Were
these small time investors essentially speculators (who should not have
expected the prices to stay in their favor)?
What are the potential costs of this pullback--how could it
harm both the Spanish people and the government? Do they have other options?
