Does Goldman Sachs Endorse Feed-in Tariffs?

By Paul Gipe

 

In a full-page, back of the cover advertisement Goldman Sachs lists several of the most important polices for rapidly developing renewable energy. Top of the list? Feed-in Tariffs.

The ad appeared in Politico’s March 4, 2008 edition. The newspaper of political commentary was distributed at the massive Washington International Renewable Energy Conference by the (US) Solar Energy Industries Association.

Subtitled “How to power alternative energy” the ad summarized the findings of a new Goldman Sachs’ research report: Alternative Energy: A Global Survey.
