In 2009, China emerged as clean energy powerhouse investing $34.6 billion, which is nearly double the US total of $18.6 billion. Furthermore, US investments in clean energy lagged behind 10 members of the G-20 in terms of investment percentage of gross domestic product. For instance, Spain invested five times more. While, China and the UK invested three times more.
