Why we love living next to a nuclear power plant 10.3.2012 The Guardian -- Front Page
It's cheap, it's quiet and, say the residents of Dungeness, blissfully safe The Kent village of Dungeness sits in the midst of a landscape unlike any other in Britain, or possibly even the world: as close to desert as to make no difference, dotted with an uneasy mixture of clapboard dwellings and fishing boats, some still in use and others long abandoned. The abiding sense is of humankind's place in the world dwindling to nothing, like the fade-out on a record; beyond the immediate horizon, there is nothing but nature at its most sparse. But as if to mark civilisation's last word in spectacular style, there is one final, jaw-dropping, man-made sight: two nuclear power stations, Dungeness A and B, respectively opened in 1965 and 1983. Dungeness A ceased generating electricity in 2006, but will remain here for the foreseeable future, while crews of workers see to the process we know as decommissioning; Dungeness B will shut down in 2018, but also remain intact for decades to come.

India, China focussing on renewable energy sources 9.3.2012 Financial Chronicle
India, China and South Korea are increasingly focusing on renewable energy sources, including wind and solar, as potential growth sectors for their economies, a World Economic Forum report said today. The report, Energy for Economic Growth – Energy Vision Update 2012, which provides a framework for understanding the larger economic role of the energy industry, however, added that the higher costs of these technologies create trade-offs that must be considered. "Energy prices will always be volatile and thus represent a challenge for long-term economic planning," said Kenneth Rogoff, Thomas D Cabot Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Economics, Harvard University, the US. The question is how to make this volatility less economically damaging, Rogoff, who is part of the WEF advisory board, added. The oil and gas industry, the report said, contributed 37,000 direct jobs in 2011. This drove the creation of an additional 111,000 indirect jobs during the same period, given an employment ...

Kite surfer survives shark attacks in the Red Sea 7.3.2012 The Guardian -- World Latest
A Polish kite surfer, Jan Lisewski, fought off shark attacks and overcame thirst and exhaustion in a two-day battle for survival A Polish kite surfer, Jan Lisewski, fought off shark attacks and overcame thirst and exhaustion in a two-day battle for survival on the Red Sea, Polish media have reported. Lisewski, 42, had completed two-thirds of a 124-mile attempt to cross the Red Sea from the Egyptian town of El Gouna to Duba in Saudi Arabia when the wind died, deflating his kite. The Polish kite surfing champion sent an SOS signal, but it took nearly 40-hours for the Saudi Arabian coastguard to find him. Lisewski survived with the help of energy drinks, some water, two energy bars and a knife to fight off sharks. "I was stabbing them in the eyes, the nose and gills," Lisewski told Polish state news agency PAP. guardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
