      <description>Jim Barry, the chief executive of renewable energy group NTR, jokes that, if anyone has a spare $1 billion, he could do with it at the moment. This is the level of capital the group aims to raise this year, in addition to huge sums of debt and tax credits. Barry also said that to some extent he has become &#8216;&#8216;immune&#8217;&#8217; to the scale of investment NTR is seeking, but in fact he is all too aware of the task which lies ahead. However, Barry said he is &#8216;&#8216;absolutely confident&#8217;&#8217; that the money needed by NTR&#8217;s various subsidiaries will be raised. The real issue is price in the current market.</description>
