With many countries from around the world quickly turning their attention to green energy, several governments are working on plans to create long term energy efficiency strategies, where the end goal is to have a country running on a certain percentage of green energy within a few years. The products of these strategies are new and ambitious projects that look to change the landscape of green energy all around the world. In a recent article, Forbes takes a gander at some of these astounding green undertakings.
While the projects are worldwide, a few are located here in the United States — namely California's Mojave Desert, home to many new solar-thermal power plants. Texas is also mentioned for its 2,700 turbine wind farm which "will be able to power 1 million homes when construction ends." It is being built by Texas oil man T. Boone Pickens.
Other projects that Forbes takes note of are interesting as well, including "the world's first building-integrated wind turbine skyscraper" as well as an offshore London wind-farm.
