..we take a closer look at the state of play in the green energy market, an=
d also at technologies, not planned or anticipated, but with us right now t=
hat can bring alternative energy strategies to fruition. There are just a=
few remaining places on the delegate register for the Eyeforenergy Green C=
onvention in Brussels next week, so if you are intending to go and haven't =
yet registered - please do so today! In 'Going Green: The Bottom Line', t=
he first of our two articles on green energy, Abyd Karmali, VP of ICF Consu=
lting, points to the increasing importance of emissions trading as a key en=
vironmental issue. We also examine the relative market share currently enj=
oyed (or lamented?) by the main renewable energy initiatives: wind, solar, =
biomass and fuel cells. Speakers are lining up rapidly for our three co-l=
ocated events in Amsterdam, 19-21 February 2002: Energy Trading Online, Wea=
ther Trading and Emissions Trading. Recently confirmed include Enron, LIFF=
