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.
