For those eager to overlook words, note the important word “growth” at the end of the title above—India didn’t crush the world in cleantech investment in 2011 (as you know if you’re a regular reader here on CleanTechnica) but a recent report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) shows that India had a tremendous cleantech investment growth rate of 52%. (As I noted in my 2012 solar expectations post, I think India’s going to have an even much better year in 2012.)

India Solar Investments, Projections & Targets
In total, India had $10.3 billion invested in cleantech in 2011. Grid-connected solar investments increased 7 times over, going from $600 million in 2010 to $4.2 billion in 2011. These solar investments moved the country from 18 MW of installed solar power in 2010 to a total of 277 MW installed at the end of 2011. 500-700 MW may be installed in 2012, the report noted.

I wonder if the Republicans can keep up this level of obstructionism if Obama wins a second term even if they hold a house of Congress. 8 years of the country in a slow recovery with nothing getting accomplished in Congress because of gridlock won't bode well for any opposition incumbent.
