国际能源署（IEA）数据显示，太阳能、风能、波能和生物能仅占经合组织国家电力总产量的9.8 % ， 即便如此这还仅仅是因为存在仅今年一年就累计超过1，600亿美元的巨额补助。
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), solar, wind, wave, and bio-energy produce just 9.8% of electricity in the OECD, and this is possible only because of huge subsidies, cumulatively totaling more than $160 billion this year.
