"The carbon-action plan is a start, and if we do not make a start, we will never get there," says White House science adviser John Holdren.

Greenpeace is struggling to make the public impression it once did, in part because companies have realized that fighting back against activists -- by using high-pressure hoses to repel oil-rig invasions, for instance -- tends to backfire. Companies such as Royal Dutch Shell and Procter & Gamble are now taking a nonconfrontational approach to dealing with activists' stunts. "To try and keep people's attention and keep them interested and engaged ... can be very challenging," admits campaigner Laura Kenyon

Spending on offshore wind energy development in Europe reached $14.45 billion last year. That was a record amount and double 2014's number. The rate is expected to decline this year but increase in the future. "Offshore wind power produces roughly one and a half times the energy of onshore wind power," said Toni Sulameri, who works for wind power production company Suomen Hyotytuuli Oy. Europe has 84 offshore wind farms.

The total number of idle turbines in China more than doubled to 15% last year, according to the China's National Energy Administration. The report said that the country added a record-breaking 33 gigawatts of installed wind capacity last year, but its idle wind generation has climbed 69% since 2014. Observers say slowing consumption rates and more coal-fired power plants have contributed to the problem.
