Ukraine: Ukraine is seeking U.S. investment in its biomass, wind and solar power industries. The idea is to use renewable energy to curb its reliance on fuel imports from Russia, which annexed Ukraines Crimea region last month and has troops massed on the border, according to Business Week. Yesterdays event was the start of a road show to highlight Ukraines renewable-energy potential, Volodymyr Shalkivski, the embassys first secretary for energy issues, said in an interview. Future events will be held at Ukraines consulates in Chicago, New York and San Francisco, he said and Ukrainian officials say they ve found a way to protect the nation from Russia: Go green. Russias aggression towards Ukraine indeed brought energy security concerns to the fore, Olexander Motsyk, Ukraines ambassador to the U.S. said at a renewable-energy conference at his countrys embassy in Washington yesterday. I strongly believe the time has come for U.S. investors to discover Ukraine, especially its energy.
