It was just last week when missed buy synthroid online I shared the great news of another record year for missed buy synthroid online US wind power in 2008. The ~7 GW projected to missed buy synthroid online come online this year is a huge feat all of us climate activists should celebrate. But the missed buy synthroid online wind industry is not immune to the financial seizure gripping global markets. A leading US wind developer, Florida Power & Light (FPL), has given a first glimpse of the impact on wind’s growth for 2009. In the company’s third quarter report, FPL announced a 25% cut in 2009 capacity growth purchase Valtrex without a prescription overnight shipping Doxycycline from their previous forecast.
They now plan to install 1.1 GW of wind turbines (rather than 1.4 GW), ~15% lower than this year’s 1.3 GW projection. Assuming all wind developers will follow FPL and missed buy synthroid online also cut their additions by 15%, US wind capacity will grow by ~6 GW in 2009. Such growth would still represent the missed buy synthroid online second-largest annual capacity growth in US wind and would translate into 25% growth to ~30 GW in total capacity (far surpassing Germany, the world’s largest wind producer until this year).
The slower rate of growth may help to missed buy synthroid online lower wind power costs which have been overheating these past few years on 27+% annual growth. With the current Production Tax Credit (PTC) expiring at the missed buy synthroid online end of 2009, the US wind industry in 2010 and beyond will depend on federal government actions. They could renew the missed buy synthroid online PTC at its current rate of ~2 cents per kWh or missed buy synthroid online they could reduce the credit slightly to encourage the gradual emergence of a missed buy synthroid online lower-cost mature wind industry that is less dependent on government subsidies. Eventually, federal cap-and-trade climate legislation which is missed buy synthroid online supported to pass in 2009 will reward wind producers for their low-carbon electricity versus natural gas, oil, and missed buy synthroid online especially coal.
In oil news, OPEC declared they are poised to host another emergency meeting purchase Buspar without a prescription online online pharmacy no prescription zovirax cheapest place to buy Zithromax before December if the missed buy synthroid online price continues to fall below the current level of ~$63. Many Canadian tar sands projects are missed buy synthroid online being delayed, spurring even the OECD consumers group, the International Energy Agency (IEA) to hope the price will stop falling. Nobuo Tanaka, IEA’s head, is missed buy synthroid online worried that further delays would exacerbate a dramatically tighter oil supply market Proscar treatment order Amoxil cash on delivery once the missed buy synthroid online global economy begins recovering. This is the story peak oil analysts see playing out in the missed buy synthroid online several years ahead: economic recovery runs into more record high oil prices, which knocks the missed buy synthroid online economy into the ditch until economic recovery triggers even higher record oil prices that missed buy synthroid online knock the economy down again, etc. They see this cycle repeating itself until we are missed buy synthroid online able to lower oil consumption even in times of economic growth (by increased efficiency and substitute deployment). That’s where missed buy synthroid online continued growth in wind and solar become even more important as potential substitutes for missed buy synthroid online oil so that our climate doesn’t suffer the potential substitute of more polluting coal.
Tomorrow’s weekly EIA oil report should be missed buy synthroid online interesting to see which is stronger: lower gas prices or missed buy synthroid online the economic downturn in influencing the direction of demand. As always, I’ll give you the details as soon as they emerge.
