The simple answer is YES...

Analysis of:Can we go 100% renewable? | news.bbc.co.uk

The is NO question that the world's energy supply can be derived completely by renewable resources. Timing renewables with demand is the problem, NOT the amount of potential RE available in the world. This means that storage (of all kinds) is what is the bigger question--pumped hydro, hydrogen, batteries, flywheels all will play major roles.

Analysis of:Potash Corporation: The Best Value in Agriculture Stocks Today | seekingalpha.com

The growth in Potash demand described by the author is only the beginning of a trend that will accelerate during the next few years. In the article the author fails to mention one of the greatest forces driving demand for agricultural products.The changes in the distribution of wealth across the world are well documented in the article, but the biggest driver of increased agricultural demand is not the increase in calories in diets world wide as much as it is in the kind of calories being demanded.

Analysis of:Has The Ethanol Boom Ended? | www.econ.iastate.edu

Once policy makers finally conclude/admit that ethanol is nothing more that a subsidy for farmers and the states that depend on farming, the ethanol industry will stagnate. Pumping money into an alternative fuel that results in significant price increases for staple food items is not an appropriate use of tax dollars. I find it sad that those on the Hill can't seem to understand the limited benefits (relative to the inherent costs) of corn based ethanol production.

Analysis of:Europe looks for US energy company investments | www.platts.com

A national RPS layered on top of state RPS requirements will mean that utilities with significant hydro, wind and solar components within their generation portfolio will the best bets for European investors. Duke and Progress Energy appear to be the most viable plays given my knowledge of their recent proactive stance concerning creation and management of a green power. European investors should be keenly aware of the value of companies that reduce their exposure to the risks of climate change.
