By Michael P. Duncan One of our strategic goals for the STLE board of directors is to communicate with the general population (people not familiar with tribology and lubrication engineers) in order to inform and advocate the merits of our organization for the betterment of society. With that in mind, I would like to share a conversa- tion that my son and I had a few years ago. My son came home af- ter a day at school during his freshman year of high school and said to me, “Dad, you’re a chemist, right?” I said, “Yes,” and he continued, “You make stuff that is bad for the envi- ronment?” I thought for just a second because I knew he was taking a course in school on the environment. I responded with, “My company wouldn’t stay in Whether

    GE Reaches Milestone with 50,000 MW of Global Wind Installations • 50,000 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity spread across more than 30,000 GE wind turbines in more than 35 different countries • Recent acquisition of Alstom’s renewable energy unit expands GE’s wind footprint in Europe and Brazil • Global GE wind installed base now provides enough energy to power the equivalent of approximately five cities the size of Hong Kong • • April 27, 2016 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time SCHENECTADY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE Renewable Energy (NYSE:GE) today announced it now has more than 50,000 MW of onshore wind turbines installed across the globe. The company reached the milestone in the first quarter of 2016, largely thanks to its recent acquisition of Alstom’s renewable energy unit in November 2015. GE’s global wind footprint, which now extends to more than 35 countries worldwide, represents enough energy to power the equivalent of approximately five cities the size of Hong Kong. “Renewable energy has become a mainstream source of power generation,” said Jérôme Pécresse, President & CEO of GE Renewable Energy. “The industry is poised for continued global growth, and at GE, we are excited to be reaching this milestone and look forward to adding our next 50 gigawatts even faster.” The United States makes up the largest portion of GE’s global installed base, but in recent years, the company has seen strong global growth in regions like Europe, Asia and Latin America. Following the acquisition of Alstom’s renewable energy unit last year, GE expanded its European presence and added additional capacity in Brazil.

  • 2019 Wind Observatory
    2019 WIND OBSERVATORY Analysis of the French wind power industry: market, jobs and challenges APPENDIXES CHALLENGES JOBS MARKET 2 Foreword The French energy landscape is gradually shifting towards renewable energies. Ambitious targets have been set, aiming to increase the share of renewables to 33% of the energy mix and 40% of power generation by 2030. Wind power clearly stands out, as a key sector, alongside solar energy, faced with new challenges and offering high expectations. As the Multiannual Energy Programming is about to be disclosed, wind power (both onshore and offshore), is regarded as one of the cornerstones of the energy transition in the French power mix. Over the past year, wind power has indeed covered 6% of France’s power needs. The industry has also demonstrated its competitiveness in relation to the latest calls for tenders, specifically with regards to the wind farm awarded off Dunkirk. In this buoyant context, wind energy is also a major driver of regional economic development and employment, with a 6.4% increase in jobs in 2018. The industry must, however, continue to improve project integration in terms of local territories, the environment, and the landscape. The current development dynamic is confirmed in the Multiannual Energy Programming, which sets ambitious targets for 2028 through the installation of the first offshore wind farms. The French Parliament has scaled up its ambitions in terms of the development of offshore wind power generation and now aims to award 1 GW per year by 2024. APPENDIXES CHALLENGES JOBS MARKET 3 Foreword The industry can count on the support of the French Government.
