再生可能エネルギー、"オバマ大統領"は、3年で倍にする計画を発表

　1/20の就任式を前に、アメリカだけでなく世界中が”再生への一歩”を期待しています。そして、そんなオバマ大統領の施策の中で重要な国内の景気および産業育成策に再生可能エネルギーがあり、3年間で倍にする計画を進めるということです。そして、再生可能エネルギーとともに建物やエコカーの環境対応を支援し、施策の中に取り組む姿勢を示しています。

・Obama Calls for Doubling Renewable Energy in Three Years-----Greentech Media, January 8, 2009

" President-elect Barack Obama called for doubling the nation's renewable energy production in three years in a Thursday speech asking Congress to support his economic stimulus plan. He also wants funding for energy efficiency improvements to federal buildings and millions of homes. "

・Change.gov Agenda : Cconomy The Obama-Biden Plan

" ..........
Invest in a clean energy economy and create 5 million new green jobs:Obama and Biden will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid. The plan will also invest in America's highly-skilled manufacturing workforce and manufacturing centers to ensure that American workers have the skills and tools they need to pioneer the first wave of green technologies that will be in high demand throughout the world.

Boost the renewable energy sector and create new jobs: The Obama-Biden plan will create new federal policies, and expand existing ones, that have been proven to create new American jobs. Obama and Biden will create a federal Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that will require 25 percent of American electricity be derived from renewable sources by 2025, which has the potential to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs. They will also extend the Production Tax Credit, a credit used successfully by American farmers and investors to increase renewable energy production and create new local jobs.

" Key Findings
Although renewable energy (excluding hydropower) is a relatively small portion of total energy supply both globally and in the U.S., renewable energy installations in both the world and in the U.S. have nearly doubled between 2000 and 2007.
Including hydropower, renewable energy represents 10% of total installed capacity and nearly 9% of total generation in the U.S. in 2007. Installed renewable energy capacity (including hydropower) is 110 gigawatts (GW). Not including hydropower, 2007 renewable electricity installed capacity has reached about 33 GW in the U.S.
In the U.S., growth in sectors like wind and solar photovoltaics (PV) signify an ongoing shift in the composition of our electricity supply. In 2007, wind capacity installations grew 45% and solar PV grew 40% from the previous year.

Worldwide, wind energy is the fastest growing renewable energy technology.between 2000 and 2006 wind energy generation worldwide quadrupled. The U.S. experienced similar dramatic growth, as installed wind energy capacity increased 6.5 times between 2000 and 2007.
In the U.S., renewable energy has been capturing a growing percent of new capacity additions over the past few years. In 2007, renewable energy accounted for over 35% of all new capacity installations in the U.S..a large contrast from 2004 when all renewable energy captured only 2% of new capacity additions.
In 2006, the U.S. became the world’s leading ethanol producer. Between 2000 and 2007 production of corn ethanol nearly quadrupled, and biodiesel production increased
225 times. Use of ethanol in the U.S. has also grown substantially and it currently accounts
for 4% of the total U.S. gasoline pool, up from 1% in 2000.

　アメリカの再生可能エネルギーの導入状況は、水力も含めるとおおむね9.4％が再生可能エネルギーという状況。水車をのぞくと、6％となります。
　今後オバマさんの発言どおりに、3年で倍となれば、いずれにしろ20％ちかくなる計算です。ヨーロッパの2020年20％再生可能エネルギーという計画より拍車がかかって見えます。さて、どこに力がそそがれるのか楽しみですね。

　現在は、日本も欧米と並んでいるといえばいえなくない状況ですが、政策的なヴィジョンとしては、ここにきて時代おくれの発想が目立ち始めています。世界的な再生可能エネルギー、環境ビジネスの分野に意識的に投資と情熱を注ごうとしている流れを日本にもたらすには、日本としての独自の再生可能エネルギー政策、それも農業や環境といった分野も包含したトータルヴィジョンが必要です。果たして、わたしたちはその実現の緒に就くことができるでしょうか？(t_t)
