Norway announced this month that it intends to double its national research fund for renewables to $3.4 billion. This year the UK announced a $100 billion investment to build 4,000 onshore and 3,000 offshore wind turbines by 2020-while creating some 160,000 jobs. Some 50 countries including a dozen developing countries, have set renewable energy targets including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic, China, India, the Philippines, Iran, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Senegal, South Africa and Uganda. Kleiner Perkins, the venture capital firm that supported the establishment of Google, Netscape and Amazon.com, recently directed $100 million to new companies working on lowering CO2 emissions. Clean Tech investment in China will total an estimated $580 in 2007 million and is likely to total more than $720 million in 2008
