Green on HuffingtonPost.com |
| If Obama can use his presidential authority to slash handouts to oil and gas groups, and plow that money into clean power instead, the IEA's much hoped for energy revolution will take a huge step towards becoming a reality. |

Sasha Lyutse: New Evidence That Cutting Forests to Burn for Electricity Is Even Worse for the Climate Than We Thought
|
18.6.2013 |
Green on HuffingtonPost.com |
| Previous studies have focused on emissions of the carbon that's stored in above-ground biomass (i.e., tree trunks, limbs, etc.) when it burned in a power plant. A new study looked at the carbon stored deep in forest soils and what happens to it when forests are chopped down to supply biomass to energy companies. |

Coal, oil and gas are killing climate

18.6.2013 |
The Earth Times Online Newspaper - Environment News |
| The Australians might be expected to be a little isolated from the global effects of climate change. Not true, plus they seem to be possibly the most aware of the dangers of selling their coal to Asia while suffering some terrible effects from global warming. |

Worldwatch Institute |
| The Worldwatch Institute and INCAE Business School explore renewable energy status and potential in the region
Washington, D.C. —Nearly 22 percent of the world"s electricity is now supplied by renewable energy, and Central America is part of this global transition. The region is a worldwide leader in hydropower and geothermal energy, and most Central American countries are developing wind power projects. Yet the region is far from harvesting its enormous renewable energy resources to their fullest potentials, according to a new report from the Worldwatch Institute, The Way Forward for Renewable Energy in Central America .
"Central America is at a crossroads," said Alexander Ochs, Director of Climate and Energy at Worldwatch and a co-author of the study. "As the economies of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama expand, regional use of fossil fuels is growing quickly, while the use of traditional fuelwood, primarily for ... |

Denmark's NOx Tax
|
7.6.2013 |
Alternative Energy and Fuel News - ENN |
Denmark's tax on nitrogen oxide emissions, which was raised during the financial crisis, could be scrapped if it's proven to have a negative impact on jobs and competitiveness.
The centre-left Danish government, which was formed in October 2011, decided at the end of that year to raise the tax from 5 to 25 Danish crowns (from €0.7 to 3.4) per kilo of nitrogen oxide NOx emissions. The tax was introduced on 1 July 2012.
The increased NOx tax was adopted after long debates in the Danish parliament where opposition parties warned it would be expensive not only for companies emitting NOx, but for all businesses. |
