Default Wind Energy in Spain...

I'm sure that 65 year old memories of rusting wind powered water pumps and dreams of a miraculous nuclear future offer comfort, they are not of the present, and have nothing to do with this thread.

In an effort to redirect this thread away from technologies that have nothing to do with Spain, or wind, or technologies that are not available, and even more importantly, offer no relevance to us in any way as EcoRenovators...

I found a very interesting link to an Energy and Materials Conference that is happening in Spain, on Feb 25, 2015.

It's good to see that Spain's success is relevant, recognized and is being seen as an inspiring example for future endeavors in alternative energy.

Here are the areas of discussion:
  • Biomass - Biofuels
  • Solar Energy [presumably PV]
  • Solar Energy [presumably thermal]
  • Fuel Cells
  • Hydrogen
  • Wind Power
  • Geothermal Energy
  • Hydropower. Wave and Tidal Power
  • Nuclear Energy and Materials
  • Energy Production from Fossil Fuels
  • Energy Harvesting Materials
  • Energy Transmission, Distribution and Storage
  • Advances in Lighting Materials
  • Energy-Efficient Buildings
  • Materials, Processes and Systems for Energy Saving and Sustainability

Note that of the fifteen areas of discussion, only on of them concerns nuclear energy.

I wish this conference was closer, I'd really love to go... maybe they have EcoRenovator discounts.
