Recently India has joined the IRENA the International Renewable Energy Agency an international agency which focuses on spreading the use of renewable energy to the globe. IRENA has 77 states as a part of its pantheon which will decide the future of their countries as well as the earth. With the recruitment of India being the 5^th largest consumer of energy in the world hopefully larger and more industrialized countries will also join. Already IRENA has Germany, Denmark, Sweden and many other big European powers. Sadly the United States continues to play a small part in the environmental assistance. Other countries which still are considering joining are the UK, Japan, China, and Australia.

Under IRENA many changes have occurred including the basic mobility of many changes which could not occur without the push of this company. An interesting project is occurring the Arab United Emirate called the Masdar City Project. This project is occurring in an area with high output of oil exports and the projects goal is to create carbon-neutral, zero-waste city.

Along with these projects come the large addition of wind solar and geothermal power whose statistics number as the following:

- 12,000 megawatts wind power capacity

o Bringing the world total to 106,100 mW

- 9,740 mW of solar energy

- 6000 mw of geothermal

These projects are either planned, in construction or completed with more on the minds of those working and cooperating with the IREA.

Where you at America? This seems to be the bandwagon no one will pick on your for jumping on so let’s see some hustlin’.
