Beyond tomorrow

Windpower Monthly's presentation last month of tradable renewable energy credits as the best mechanism for long term security in a liberalised market has attracted support, provoked opposition, and highlighted a need for strategic unity in the European wind lobby. This month we give space to an open debate of the issues, where experts share their deliberations on the implications of a variety of strategies. See "The devil is in the details," "Fixed prices vital in real world markets," "Defending the status quo," "Fixed prices and quotas both justified" and "Nice in theory but few benefits for wind" (Windpower Monthly, November 1997).
