I read an article from The Independent online by Ian Johnston who is an environment correspondent. It is titled: "Developing world invests more in renewable energy than rich countries for first time, new study says".
I found this article very interesting especially because one of the things that Bethel and I were talking about when we chose this topic is why developing nations are so much farther ahead in using alternative energy sources than developed nations. According to this article many developing nations are spending more money on renewable energy sources while developed countries, such as the UK, are spending more money on things like fossil fuels. Renewable energies are not just environmentally friendly, they are also the cheapest. It is interesting to note that many developed countries are finding it shameful to be outspent by the developing countries.
Here is the APA citation for the article:

Great! Maybe if developing countries lead the way, other countries will get into gear!
