    TRANSITION Meeting Britain’s energy BY needs together CONSENT Cameron Tait p post ABOUT THE FABIAN SOCIETY The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. It aims to promote greater equality of power and opportunity; the value of collective public action; a vibrant, tolerant and accountable democracy; citizenship, liberty and human rights; sustainable development; and multilateral international co-operation. Through a wide range of publications and events the society influences political and public thinking, but also provides a space for broad and open-minded debate, drawing on an unrivalled external network and its own expert research and analysis. Its programme offers a unique breadth, encompassing national conferences and expert seminars; periodicals, books, reports and digital communications; and commissioned and in-house research and comment. The Society is alone among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation, with almost 7,000 members. Over time our membership has included many of the key thinkers on the British left and every Labour prime minister. Today we count over 200 parliamentarians in our number. The voluntary society includes 70 local societies, the Fabian Women’s Network and the Young Fabians, which is itself the leading organisation on the left for young people to debate and influence political ideas. The society was one of the original founders of the Labour party and is constitutionally affiliated to the party. We are however editorially, organisationally and financially independent and work with a wide range of partners from all political persuasions and none.

  • Hydropower Or Private Power
    HYDROPOWER OR PRIVATE POWER River Development Resistance in the Chilean Landscape Lydia M. Bleifuss A thesis written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Department of Environmental Studies Lewis & Clark College Portland, Oregon May 2016 DEDICATION To Ella Bump 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would fist like to extend my greatest appreciation to those who made time to speak with me in Chile, despite my less than impressive Spanish. This thesis would not have been possible without the insights of both the interviewees who are cited here, and the many other conversations that filled my travels. Special thanks to Thomas, Anthony, Gabriel, Adele, Coto, Matias, Raketa, and Rocio for their hospitality and kindness. I would also like to thank the SAAB Research Grant Board and the Renewable Energy Fee Fund Committee for the finances to both conduct and translate my research. Specifically, Julie Jacobs’ and Marlon Jimenez Oviendo’s guidance was instrumental in the grant processes. I would also like to acknowledge Jim Proctor and the Environmental Studies 2016 senior class for their intellectual support and constant inspiration. Jhana Taylor Valentine was the most wonderful academic companion and friend throughout this year, to whom I owe my sanity. Special thanks to Alistair Bleifuss for wading through a very rough draft and coming through with excellent advice. For their unwavering love and support, I would finally like to extend my constant gratitude to my comrades and housemates, Bear, Izzy, Analise, and Alex, and to my magnificent parents. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis centers on hydropower development and questions its continuing expansion as subsequent ecological and social challenges compound.

  • The Energy Hierarchy Approach to Optimum Use of Energy Infrastructure - Sharing Ideas from the Uk and Other Parts of Europe
    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan THE ENERGY HIERARCHY APPROACH TO OPTIMUM USE OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE - SHARING IDEAS FROM THE UK AND OTHER PARTS OF EUROPE - Ian M. ARBON1 1 EurIng Prof Ian M. Arbon MSc, MBA, CEng, CEnv FIMechE, FASME, FEI, FInstR, FIES Sustainable Energy Consultant, Engineered Solutions, Girvan, Scotland, UK, Immediate Past Chairman, Energy, Environment & Sustainability Group, Institution of Mechanical Engineers [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on how the Energy Hierarchy could be used to guide new energy infrastructure policies in Japan, in the context of the 2011 earthquake, examining parallels with Europe, particularly the UK. The Hierarchy approach considers pragmatic pathways towards a sustainable energy future for Japan with reference to all forms of energy, not just electricity. Although engineering solutions are crucial, the Hierarchy recognises that a primary influence on energy consumption is human behaviour. INTRODUCTION The stated aim of The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) is “Improving the world through engineering”. There are 100,000 IMechE members, and a large number of those have signed up to the Energy, Environment and Sustainability Group (EESG). IMechE, specifically EESG, was instrumental in formulating the “Energy Hierarchy”, a sustainability framework for advocating the prioritisation of energy-saving as the most important step in a whole-system energy strategy (followed by energy efficiency and renewable energy) to provide a logical framework for the development of technically coherent sustainable energy policies. This was launched internationally at ICOMES in 2007 and has gained acceptance across many of the world’s engineering societies.
