Poland, Wedded to Coal, Spurns Europe on Clean Energy Targets

New York Times

Within the European Union, Poland has been increasingly active in trying to block more aggressive regulations to curb climate change, in contrast to Germany, for example, which has bet its energy future on clean, renewable technologies like wind and solar.

The Flip Side of England's Fracking Study: More Regulation

A Modest Proposal To Deal With Al Gore's Unburnable Carbon Problem

#Energy Al Gore's latest foray into saving us all from ourselves is to point out that climate change means that we'll not be able to actually use a rather large portion of the fossil fuel reserves that we've already found. This poses a problem in investment terms as there are many companies that have those reserves on their books as financial assets. But, of course, if we're not going to be able to use those fuels because our budget for possible carbon emissions is used up then they're not really financial assets, are they?
Q: You'll have seen the report last month from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that included the idea of a global carbon budget and what it says is that if you want to hit a 2-degree target, more than half of the carbon budget is already exhausted. What are the ramifications of that?

Energy And Water Utilities' Unique Perspectives Uncover Joint Cost-Saving Solutions

#Energy In the past, I?ve written a lot about the inherent connection between energy and water use and the need for co-management of energy-water planning. Most of the energy we use requires copious amounts of water to produce, and most of the water we use requires a considerable amount of energy to treat and transport. Despite this inherent connection, it?s actually uncommon to see energy and water utilities collaborating to identify best practices to save energy and water and even lower costs. Think of it this way: If energy and water utilities worked together, their unique perspectives could uncover joint cost-saving solutions, customers would save more money and utilities could share data to better understand their holistic energy-water footprint.http://www.forbes.com/sites/edfenergyexchange/2013/10/30/energy-and-water-utilities-unique-perspectives-uncover-joint-cost-saving-solutions/ http://bit.ly/15KdByZ
