Renewable Energy Financing Mechanisms and Incentives (22.02.2012 22:30h): What Can We Expect?
While much attention has rightly been given to the expiration of the Section 1603 cash grant program at the end of 2011, there are other tax incentives for renewable energy that are also set to expire in the upcoming years. The decisions as to whether to renew these incentives will have a major impact on the future of renewable energy in the U.S. as these existing and new programs have been instrumental in sustaining investor and lender interest in the renewable energy sector, particularly in the wind and solar markets.

Solar Energy News - RenewableEnergyWorld.com (21.02.2012 21:30h): Will Italy's FiTs Survive the Fall of Berlusconi?
Never one to do anything by half-measures, a somewhat surprising legacy of ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government has been to send installed capacity in Italy's photovoltaic PV market soaring through the roof. Reacting to a resounding public vote against nuclear power in 2011, a fourth edition of feed-in-tariffs FiTs was announced for the sector and though somewhat reduced, they were still high enough to keep Italy's "PV counter" ticking faster than ever.

Tribal Renewable Energy Projects (21.02.2012 01:23h): Balance Opportunity with Caution
In my 20-plus years of dealing with economic development on tribal lands, I have found that few people are familiar with federal Indian law or tribal law, governments and dispute resolution systems, which reflect each tribe's sovereign status and unique culture, language, laws, mores and traditions. And it is from this lack of familiarity that problems arise. [
