Call for strong national policy

While US clean energy and climate advocates rarely display any real swing time mode when looking at the Copenhagen Climate Talks and beyond into 2010, they definitely also do not play the blues. Quite to the contrary: The lack of any concrete international outcome at that point in time might still give the domestic US process the needed tailwind to come to some clean energy, climate legislation.

Renewables can ensure energy security

PEAK oil has been around for a while now. Energy specialists in India, specially those working in the renewable energy space, are now talking the same about coal: not quite peak coal but an increasing likelihood that coal will not always be available to run power plants.

Clean Energy Sources: Sun, Wind and Subsidies

As Governments Increase Spending and Support for Renewable Power, Even Fans Wonder If Aid Could Be More Efficient

In frigid water four miles off England's east coast, a floating crane is installing the last of 48 wind turbines. The 40-story-tall pinwheels are driven by two plentiful resources: ocean breezes and public funds.

The energy and the environment conundrum

The subject of energy and environment are attracting universal attention now. Though pollution existed even 150 years ago but at that time, the planet could absorb the undesirable emissions. Today, we have crossed the absorption capacity and, the very survival of the planet is at stake. In 1860, all had welcomed the discovery of oil.

Wind power is crucial for combating climate change

Wind energy is a key solution in the fight against climate change, and the technology is on track to saving 10 bn tons of CO2 by 2020. This means that more than 65% of all emissions reductions pledges tabled by industrialised at the climate negotiations following the Copenhagen Accord could be met by global wind energy alone. This document shows that the current pledges can and must be revised.
