  • Green Illusions Is Not a Litany of Despair
    “In this terrific book, Ozzie Zehner explains why most current approaches to the world’s gathering climate and energy crises are not only misguided but actually counterproductive. We fool ourselves in innumerable ways, and Zehner is especially good at untangling sloppy thinking. Yet Green Illusions is not a litany of despair. It’s full of hope—which is different from false hope, and which requires readers with open, skeptical minds.”— David Owen, author of Green Metropolis “Think the answer to global warming lies in solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels? Think again. In this thought-provoking and deeply researched critique of popular ‘green’ solutions, Zehner makes a convincing case that such alternatives won’t solve our energy problems; in fact, they could make matters even worse.”—Susan Freinkel, author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story “There is no obvious competing or comparable book. Green Illusions has the same potential to sound a wake-up call in the energy arena as was observed with Silent Spring in the environment, and Fast Food Nation in the food system.”—Charles Francis, former director of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture Systems at the University of Nebraska “This is one of those books that you read with a yellow marker and end up highlighting most of it.”—David Ochsner, University of Texas at Austin Green Illusions Our Sustainable Future Series Editors Charles A.

  • Climate Action Policy Survey
    Executive Summary The People’s GND Working Group Climate Action Policy Survey The U.S. House of Representatives-Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. Response to the House Committee Request for Information from The People’s Green New Deal Working Group: A database of over 100 Climate Policy Proposals. Methodology The People’s Green New Deal Working Group represents an informal coalition of activists based in New York, including members of Climate Action Mondays and 350NYC, as well as academics at Columbia University and City University of New York (CUNY). Our work has been to collect, in a non-biased process, outstanding climate policy recommendations that can be used by the House Committee and other lawmakers to write an ambitious and just national climate policy. The result is a “Climate Action Policy Survey” of over 100 proposals, reviewed and digested for specific policy ideas by sector. The proposals in our database were either submitted by experts and organizations or collected via an extensive internet search by a team of volunteers. In the coming months, we intend to post the database online to collect additional recommendations and ask the wider community to vote on their priority proposals to include in a National Climate Policy. This submission is unique in that it represents a compendium of climate solutions and policies from a broad set of sources and organizations, listed therein, including: Federal, State, & Local Government Legislation Inter-government Coalitions Think Tanks Non-profit Groups and Coalitions Academic Studies and Reports The sectors (in sheet tabs) covered include: List of 100+ Proposals (with summaries) Proposal Comparison (showing which proposals touch on which sectors).

"Even after Fidel dies, I can't imagine that happening for quite some time," he said. Currently, ethanol is obtained from sugar cane juice and cannot be made from bagasse, but new research is focusing on cellulose technology that could make this possible.

  • Why DECC Should Stop Rocs for Bioliquid Fuels NOW
    ACSEB – Action for Sustainable Energy for Bristol Why DECC should stop ROCs for bioliquid fuels NOW. 1. Scientists have shown that burning palm oil, the most widely used biofuel for electricity generation, causes more greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) than fossil fuels. Unfortunately much international legislation including the Kyoto Protocol and European Renewable Energy Directive (RED) contains serious carbon accounting errors that hide this fact. 2. Bioliquid fuels are causing a massive new demand for palm oil and other oil crops, this can only be filled with new plantations carved from tropical forest. Whether palm-oil is produced from ‘certified’ plantations or not, exporting palm-oil to be burnt in power-stations etc. is a new demand when existing production is already fully subscribed- for. This supply can only be harvested from new plantations. This is not a ‘sustainable’ practise. 3. Plants are very inefficient converters of the energy of the sun. As a source of renewable energy DECC’s own scientific advisor David MacKay has said that biofuels “are scarcely worth talking about” and The Government’s Chief Scientific Advisor has said that cutting down rainforest to produce biofuel crops is “profoundly stupid”. 4. Palm oil producers are inflicting major human rights abuses in southeast Asia, Central and South America and West Africa: including forced eviction of populations, rape and murder. The RED takes no account of these illegal actions by this evil industry. 5. Diverting land from food to energy crops e.g. for Jatropha plantations, maize for ethanol, etc. has already caused food prices to rise and the poor to starve.

    The Oil Drum | DrumBeat: July 7, 2009 http://www.theoildrum.com/node/5551 DrumBeat: July 7, 2009 Posted by Leanan on July 7, 2009 - 9:57am Topic: Miscellaneous EIA raises 2009 world oil demand forecast WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Energy Information Administration on Tuesday once again raised its world oil demand forecast for this year as the global economy gradually improves. In its monthly energy outlook, the EIA increased its 2009 global oil demand projection to 83.85 million barrel per day (bpd), up 170,000 bpd from its June estimate of 83.68 million bpd. World oil demand this year is still well below 2008 levels of 85.41 million bpd. The agency said consumption will rebound to 84.79 million bpd in 2010, up 380,000 bpd from the previous estimate of 84.41 million. Oil prices: is there a spike on the horizon? So, have the past 12 months been a blip in the relentless charge ahead or were speculators the cause of an unsustainable boom? The implosion of the global economy cut energy demand to such an extent that tankers were being used to store oil offshore in the hope prices would rise in the future. Offshore storage peaked in April, when 100m barrels were being stored aboard ships. However, since the oil price has started to recover, this oil is gradually being brought onshore. More Ideas for Breaking the Climate Deadlock There’s a batch of new proposals for breaking the persistent global deadlock over dealing with global warming, all coming as world leaders prepare to meet at the Group of 8 summit in L’Aquila, Italy, and in parallel sessions of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.

  • Little Green Men: the Growth of Sustainable Warfare in the United States of America Submitted Sept. 11, 2017
    Little Green Men: The Growth of Sustainable Warfare in the United States of America by Todd Coyne A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Journalism School of Journalism and Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Submitted Sept. 11, 2017 © Todd Coyne 2017 Abstract Since the first days of President Barack Obama’s administration, the U.S military has embarked on an ambitious plan to change the way its fighting forces—Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force—fight and fuel wars. Since 2009, the U.S. Department of Defense has taken great strides to incorporate renewable energy technology into its infrastructure and operations. It has also made significant gains in improving the efficiency with which fossil fuels are still used. As the most technologically advanced military in the world, the armed forces of the United States are well ahead of all other nations when it comes to adopting and advancing renewable energy in warfare. War has always driven the most important technological advances in human history. From agriculture to industry, medicine to commerce, through to the modern artificial intelligence and automation industries, technological breakthroughs are often hatched inside military research laboratories, tested on the battlefield and are later adopted for broad civilian use. Whether these technologies are developed first for the military—as in the harnessing of atomic energy, the development of the Internet, drone technology, digital photography and GPS mapping—or first in the civilian marketplace before military absorption and amplification, is not a central question of this study.
