South Korea might be the next clean energy giant. while we put a lot of attention on China and Europe, South Korea is making some huge steps forward...


i think the important point, as discussed in the comments at the top, is that they had a genuine knowledge breakthrough. for those of us wishing for immediate technological change, it may not sound like a lot, but for the scientists who have been working on this issue for decades, it is huge. & yes, we don't know yet, but hopefully it will lead to something more soon.


a lot more government money goes into other forms of energy, though


if you read through the article, you'll see that solar capacity more than doubled from 2009-2010. it would be nice if it included previous growth, which actually was similar. but this is more about the future based on what is happening now and expected in the future... i'm sure they used the previous years' data though & showing those data in such a graph would be useful as well. however, the site covers that regularly, so I think the regular readers are quite familiar with the info.


We might want to clarify here that you are a professional writer for the site in question and the author of the given post; also you post a similar comment there in response to a similar question. Also, despite having access to the alleged pre-2010 data in question that you say is well known to regular readers on your site you provide no links to demonstrate where this data might be.

By the way, on another topic, you need to check out your site in Safari, there is a fatal javascript loop. Probably a bug in Safari since it doesn't manifest in other browsers but it should still be addressed.


however, they do have more data than just about anyone, so they are better fit to do such analyses


@ax0n: yeah, the grid-connected solar farms and large-scale solar thermal projects are really starting to come in. a ton in the pipeline too.
