China and renewable energy- E&Y rankings

China Widens Renewables Lead Over U.S. in Ernst & Young Ranking - Bloomberg: "China widened its lead over the U.S. in a renewable energy ranking compiled by consultant Ernst & Young that gauges the attractiveness to investors of wind and solar power projects in those countries.
The U.S., weighed down by “uncertainty over the country’s long-term renewable energy strategy,” dropped 1.5 points to 66 in the quarterly renewables “attractiveness index,” E&Y said today in an e-mailed report. That pushed it into a tie for second with Germany, trailing China’s score of 70.2.
“The upcoming elections have led to an understandable slowdown in the decision-making process in the U.S.,” Ernst & Young Global Cleantech Leader Gil Forer said. “Germany is pushing ahead with its ambitious renewable energy agenda.”"
