Good Night, Irene; Hello, IRENA

From the Worldwatch Institute, there is word that the first multinational agency focused solely on spreading clean energy around the world has been officially launched this week. It is called the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and there are 75 nations participating. The United States, United Kingdom, Japan, China, and Australia have not yet signed on, but there is hope that they will as the group expands.

The purpose of the organization is to help governments and private industry to expand renewable energy operations throughout the industrialized world, while also assisting developing nations to acquire the expertise they need so they can establish their own clean energy industries.
