COP17,
currently
underway
in
Durban,
will
be
no
different.
Indeed,
with
most
of
the
high-level
negotiations
devoted
to
what
is
likely
to
be
a
futile
attempt
to
forge
a
second
commitment
period
to
the
Kyoto
Protocol,
it
is
difficult
for
many
in
the
renewables
sector
to
see
why
they
should
bother
paying
attention
at
all.
Clean
energy
would,
of
course,
benefit
enormously
from
a
global
treaty
aimed
at
mitigating
climate
change.
Yet
even
in
the
absence
of
such
a
deal
–
and
all
signs
point
to
there
being
no
agreement
in
place
come…
