One of the country's largest builders of coal-fired power plants will give investors detailed warnings about the risks that global warming poses to its business under a deal with New York's attorney general.
The agreement Wednesday between the attorney general, Andrew M. Cuomo, and the company, Xcel Energy of Minneapolis, is the first of its kind in the country. It could open a broad new front in efforts by environmental groups to pressure the energy industry into reducing emissions of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

When Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg dreamed out loud last week about a New York skyline filled with wind turbines, one of the most serious issues raised by the naysayers was that the wind does not always blow when you need it.
But a New Jersey company plans to announce on Tuesday that it is working on a solution to this perennial problem with wind power: using wind turbines to produce compressed air that can be stored underground or in tanks and released later to power generators during peak hours.

Delhi has very few windmills compared to places like Lowville in New York, says R.V. SMITH

New York: Within 10 years, New Yorkers may be walking over the Brooklyn Bridge beneath gently whirring turbines, and gazing up at the Empire State Building topped by a giant windmill.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is calling for the city to become a major generator of renewable energy. He wants to see New York wean itself from dependency on the conventional power grid by massive investment in wind, solar and wave energy and opened the prospect of wind turbines being placed on bridges and skyscrapers, in a way that could transform the city's skyline.

PANJIM, AUG 20 -- A modern Renewable Energy Park will be established in Margao under Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA) disclosed Chief Minister Digambar Kamat at a function held to commemorate Rajiv Gandhi Akshay Urja Diwas at Goa Science Centre, Miramar today.
The function coincided with the birth anniversary celebration of former Prime Minister of India late Rajiv Gandhi and was organized by Goa Energy Development Agency in association with Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India.

In a plan that would drastically remake New York City's skyline and shores, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is seeking to put wind turbines on the city's bridges and skyscrapers and in its waters as part of a wide-ranging push to develop renewable energy.
The plan, while still in its early stages, appears to be the boldest environmental proposal to date from the mayor, who has made energy efficiency a cornerstone of his administration.

The power division has drafted a renewable energy policy with an ambitious target of meeting five per cent of total electricity demand by 2015 and 10 per cent by 2020 with renewable energy.
At an inter-ministerial meeting, which reviewed the draft on Monday, power secretary M Fouzul Kabir Khan asked officials concerned to specify in the draft the tentative generation of electricity from a certain renewable source.
