Reuters: Britain will end its subsides for new solar power plants two years earlier than expected to prevent costs from the scheme soaring, the government said on Tuesday. Energy companies who build solar farms currently qualify for subsidies through the government's so-called 'Renewable Obligation' (RO) scheme, and had expected to keep receiving these until 2017. Under the plans announced by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) the scheme will be closed to new solar projects over 5 megawatts...

It warns that UK energy policies are stimulating an explosive growth in wood pellet...

Shale Gas Boom Leaves Wind Companies Seeking More Subsidy

Bloomberg: Wind power in the U.S. is on a respirator. The $14 billion industry, the worlds second-largest buyer of wind turbines, is reeling from a double blow -- cheap natural gas unleashed by the hydraulic fracturing revolution and the death last year of federal subsidies that made wind the most competitive of all renewable energy sources in the U.S. Without restoration of subsidies, worth $23 per megawatt hour to turbine owners, the industry may not recover, and the U.S. may lose ground in its race...
