Blimey, what a hive of activity. In the space of 10 days we are told that wind turbines up to 50ft high are going to be allowed everywhere. We are given streamlined planning rules that will allow nuclear power stations and vast wind farms all over the place. And an energy bill is announced containing a levy that will make us pay more for our electricity to fund clean coal-fired power stations.

The oceans seem like a great potential source for clean energy. The force of the waves, the constancy, the size of the oceans — it all seems like something that could produce energy for humans without much harm. (I still have some concerns, though it seems like one of the best options these days). Some of the major problems with utilizing the force of the oceans, however, have been how to survive...

Global warming's hidden files If you can help me act ethically and responsibly in breaking a story on a shoestring budget, I will welcome your assistance. This story will probably go on for months --there's a lot in there. But it's important that we start well on this journey. Hadley CRU hacked with release of hundreds of docs and emails Mr. Mosher offered this summary of the rest of the e-mails that...

Lack of transparency about risk often underlies environmental injustice. Look at any planning issue with an environmental impact, and this becomes apparent - especially where there is a trade-off between some definition of “national interest” and local impact, as with energy infrastructure (wind turbines as much as nuclear power stations). Risk has, for example, been at [...]

Birth control: the most effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions/Birth control is best way to cut CO2 emissions/A UN report said that preventing one billion births by 2050 would save as much carbon dioxide as 2 million wind turbines Investing in birth control to reduce population growth could be more effective in cutting greenhouse gas emissions than building wind turbines or nuclear power...

As the Lower Miliband announces panic-building of nuclear power stations before the sustainable uranium becomes too plentiful to make them a profitable enterprise, the Government has suddenly discovered the merits of renewable energy, and has published plans to allow wind turbines to be installed without planning permission. The proposed changes to the system would also attempt to make it look as

YouTube - Casting Doubt on Climate Change - PT. 2/2 ...the truth is that there is no debate in the scientific community. Human beings are responsible for climate change and scientists know that. So how did corporate America and the GOP convince us all that this was in doubt? Through decades of crafty public relations and by using their echo chambers, they've made Nobel prize-winning scientists look...

8 Revolutionary Wind Energy Concepts When I think of wind turbines, I envision the west Texas plains with acres of languidly turning propellers as far as the eye can see. Texas is tops for wind power in the US, by the way. But there are more ways to skin the wind than I ever imagined. Check [...]

by Jonathan Hiskes By the time the pediatrician Nina Pierpont settled in upstate New York, she had already built a rather diverse and full career. As the Connecticut native tells it, she studied birds in the Amazon jungle on her way to earning a Ph.D. in behavioral ecology, then enrolled in medical school, completing a degree and practicing among Navajo Indians and Yup’ik Eskimos. Then she and...

When we talk about wind energy, we don’t specifically mention ocean winds. But global satellite maps from NASA promise a new hope. Nearly a decade of data from NASA’s QuikSCAT satellite gives us hope that we can harness ocean’s wind for energy generation. These maps can help in locating and planning the offshore wind farms for producing electric energy. QuikSCAT , was placed in the orbit in 1999. It...

This summer, Anoka, Buffalo, North St. Paul and 8 other Minnesota cities are gearing up for the production of wind energy . They will use recycled turbines for this purpose. In Buffalo, the work will start from June. After the completion of this project Buffalo will have the honor of the first city with one of the 115-foot-tall turbines among the 11-member cities of the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency...
