Question is should solar thermal be lumped in with PV. I'd argue they are different enough to merit separate items--Oldboltonian 19:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC) == Africa isn't a country. Perhaps this article would be better labeled as "List of renewable energy topics by geographical region".Reply

My problems with this list

edit

Why wasn't this just "Energy topics by country"? Isn't that a lot more direct and appropriate? The only reason people aren't asking those questions is because there's this huge renewable club going around Wikipedia. Selectively creating articles isn't an issue, but I think organizing them as such is an issue.

That said, I do think i've only seen one fossil fuel by country article, which I just made: Coal power in the United States, which further perplexes me as to why this article is specifically about renewables. I don't even want to get into the fact that all the topics covered here (excluding nuclear) cover about 2% of the world's electricity production. And just in case you want a source for that, this is the world's electricity production breakdown for 2005:

Hydro 16.71% Nuclear 15.13% Renewables 2.13% Thermal 66.02%

And another thing, why haven't I seen more "Energy in xx" articles? Do we not care? Shouldn't these be stressed fairly highly even if no one's doing work on them? For instance, there's an Energy in Japan article. I also see an Energy in Iran, and then every other country is over complicated with titles like Energy use in the United States (why do we have to be inconsistent now).

Anyway, this is the sort of thing that's been bothering me. -Theanphibian (talkcontribs) 17:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nuclear clearly doesn't fit in here, so have replaced the nuclear column with Hydro. Hope this helps... Johnfos 20:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Still, my question is this: why is this about renewable energy topics? Where is the list of energy topics by country? -Theanphibian (talkcontribs) 01:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Is this what you want? Cattus talk 04:13, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Biofuel

edit

Ethanol fuel is being changed into the more general biofuel - biodesiel is much more important than ethanol. 199.125.109.80 (talk) 18:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
