一Summary

Renewable industry is struggling to make profits and expects to account for half of the growth in global energy supply chain. Confronted with small parts of the electricity market and lower interests, the owners of these companies are onthe horns of a dilemma.

Fossil-fue lenergy contributes to the sustainable development of electricity market forcenturies and more than 90% of profits relies on oil and coal. So it is hardfor renewable industries to change the situations that has formed since theorigins of global electricity market since 1800s. less market share leads to lower incomes.

Compared with less market share, it also requires constant capitals pour into the renewable industries. Governments support large amount of money and stop togive more funds finally. Climate change makes renewable energies hot in theworld and gets people’s attention. While citizens pay taxes to promote theirliving standards, it will be abandoned when expected return can not be got inthe long term.
