Some features of national energy policy in the development of alternative energy

This paper analyzes the legal measures and mechanisms in the production of alternative energy leaders: China, the U.S.A. and Germany, and their potential use in Russia. Our country has considerable experience in the use of wind power, solar energy, tidal power and geothermal energy. However, as in Russia until enough of its own reserves of fossil fuels for a long time, for new projects in the field of alternative energy not been realized. They require a big capital investment and this will not bring immediate profits. At the same time, fossil fuel resources are finite and we need to take care about the future of new generations, as well as about the environment.
