Inhabitat’s Week in Green: Obama’s Keystone XL pipeline veto
The world’s oceans contain an immense amount of energy — and this week two pioneering projects sought to unlock it. First Australia announced the world’s first wave energy microgrid, and then Scotland gave the green light to construct the largest floating wind farm on the planet. Germany is betting big on clean energy: The nation just announced that it’s on track to produce 33 percent of its electricity from renewable sources this year. Meanwhile, Sweden is moving ahead with plans to become the world’s first fossil fuel-free nation by the year 2050, and President Obama officially vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline ahead of the Paris climate change conference.
