There is precious optimism to be guarded here in a sea of cynics. It is simply great that the UAE is one of the countries at the forefront of green initiatives. IRENA being in Abu Dhabi is an example of the UAE's enlightened stance. Some critics like to point out that this is an irony, given that the UAE makes one of the world's largest ecological footprints. But in saying so, I believe they are missing the point. The very fact that a country whose economy is reliant on the business of hydrocarbons is now advancing on the green energy front is a very welcome step, and truly in the right direction. As the blogger points out, there are huge obstacles to be overcome before green energy becomes the preferred source of power worldwide. But beginnings have already been made. Look forward to reading updates here as the January Summit draws closer. The WFES blog is doing a commendable job in educating the readers.

There is a lot's of obstacles and technical challenges on the way and we do need to take initiatives now, to have this transition happening asap.

The subject of renewable fuels really interests me. So much so, that i began a course a few months ago on renewable energy for the future that is part of a degree in Environental studies. I think that the Middle East will eventually become a next exporter of renewable energy. I’m looking forward to reading more on this website. The subject of renewable fuels really interests me.

Still we have to also not ignore that is an abu dhabi event and after it won the bid to host IRENA (the renewable energy agency), the summit must highlight also- aside its international importance the UAE and especially the region's contribution to solve the energy dilemma.
