Renewables 2005: Global Status ReportGlobal investment in renewable energy set a new record of $30 billion in

2004, according to a report produced by Worldwatch Institute for the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21).

Technologies such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and small hydro now provide 160 gigawatts of electricity generating capacity, about 4

percent of the world total, the report finds. "Renewable energy has become big business," said Eric Martinot, lead author of Renewables 2005: Global Status Report. Martinot, who is a Senior Fellow at the Worldwatch Institute and a Lecturer at Tsinghua

University in Beijing, notes that renewable energy is attracting some of the world's largest companies, including General Electric, Siemens, Sharp, and Royal Dutch Shell. The report estimates that nearly 40

million households worldwide heat their water with solar collectors, most of them installed in the last five years. Altogether, renewable energy

industries provide 1.7 million jobs, most of them skilled and well-paying.
