Investments in industries such as wind and solar power rose from approximately $86.5 billion in 2006 to $117.2 billion in 2007. According to Michael Liebreich, chief executive of New Energy Finance, a research group, said that. “[a] “wave of liquidity washing through the sector shows no signs of abating,” adding that significant technological strides were taking place in areas like wind, solar, biomass and energy efficiency.
