Wind is only good in some places (mostly within about 400 km of the open sea) and photovoltaic power is only cost-effective for small autonomous applications away from the power grid or in areas with a high percentage of dispersed light (due to high percentage of clouds during daytime). Areas with much direct solar radiation such as Spain are better off with solar thermal powerplants.
By the way; it seems I should emphasis the "future" aspect of the Biotech stuff that I listed. It's now too late for France to jump on the wind and solar power train. Even the German PV module producers are dying in droves because the Chinese squeeze them out of the market in cloudy Germany!
