Google X working on green energy project	18.6.2013	Guardian: Environment
Top executive Astro Teller calls innovation unit 'moonshot factory of Peter Pans with PhDs kind of running amok' Google's innovation unit Google X is working on a green energy project which its top executive Astro Teller believes could "have an important part to play in the future of the world energy production". The alternative wind turbine project, which Google executives are still fine tuning, is likely to be one of the next projects coming out of the Google X, which Teller described as a "moonshot factory" of "Peter Pans with PhDs all kind of running amok". The latest "moonshot" innovation from Google X follows hot on the heels of Google's Project Loon, its experimentation with solar-panelled balloons to bring Wi-Fi to remote regions of Africa and the Asia Pacific. Google Glass also emanated from Google X. Google is working with Makani Power, the Californian start-up wind-power company it recently acquired, on the project, which uses complicated robotics to generate ...

Local, self-sufficient, optimistic: are Transition Towns the way forward?	15.6.2013	Guardian: Environment
Locally grown food, community-owned power stations, local currencies … can small-scale actions make a difference? Yes, according to the Transition network – in fact, it's our only hope Late last year, Rob Hopkins went to a conference. Most of the delegates were chief executive officers at local authorities, but it was not a public event. Speaking in confidence, three-quarters of these officials admitted that – despite what they say publicly – they could not foresee a return to growth in the near future. "One said: 'If we ever get out of this recession, nothing will be as it was in the past,'" Hopkins recalls. "Another said: 'Every generation has had things better than its parents. Not any more.' But the one that stunned me said: 'No civilisation has lasted for ever. There is a very real chance of collapse.'" Shocking stuff – shocking enough to leave many people feeling hopeless. And Hopkins has heard MPs and others in positions of power confess to similar fears in private. But the ...

Weird weather might just wake up feeble politicians to climate change \| Zoe Williams	14.6.2013	Guardian: Comment is Free
Meteorologists are debating our role in bizarre weather events. We have the technology for change, but not the political will On Monday, Amory Lovins , physicist, environmentalist, giant, unassuming colossus of the green movement, appeared in London to talk about energy use. I mention this in the context of the Guardian's story on Friday that meteorologists are due to meet next week to discuss whether our bizarre weather is climate change-related (moreover, anthropogenic climate change-related) or just represents natural variation. I have got into the habit of mentally and often literally shutting my eyes when I see a story like that; ditto, when I see the phrase "400 parts per million". What else do you do, about a looming disaster that politics refuses to address? How is it possible to stay hopeful, when the G8 is meeting and climate change isn't even on its agenda ? What's the point of international politics if not to address this? But then I heard Lovins talk about his negawatt ...

How green does Utah go? State panel to decide	13.6.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Taylor W. Anderson The Salt Lake Tribune Published Jun 13, 2013 06:55AM MDT Renewable-energy developers representing more than $620 million in proposed wind and solar projects are awaiting a ruling by the state’s top utility regulators to decide whether they can move forward or must abandon Utah for greener states. The Utah Public Service Commission (PSC) ruling will tell Rocky Mountain Power — and ultimately Utah consumers — how much to pay for renewable energy and power from other producers. That price, in turn, will determine whether several proposed projects are fea... ...

HFCs to be reduced?	10.6.2013	The Earth Times Online Newspaper - Environment News
When the two Presidents meet, we expect them to produce something useful. This could be a possible reduction in some of the most dangerous emissions we make. It's likely that storms and droughts have spoken louder than science for them to make this decision.
