Deepwater Horizon's effects, three years later: Things are not fine 19.6.2013 MinnPost
The documentary 'Can't Stop the Water' explores the history and fate of Isle de Jean Charles in Louisiana. We just passed the third anniversary of the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Rev. Gordon C. Stewart The subsistence fishers who have inhabited Isle de Jean Charles since 1830 see things differently from BP and the mainline press. “ 'Come to Louisiana. Everything is fine,’ say the BP ads. Well, they’re not fine. There are no oysters. There are no shrimp,” said Albert Naquin, chief of the Isle de Jean Charles Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw , during a recent conversation in Chaska, Minn. Chief Naquin and Kristina Peterson were on route to Duluth for a consultation of American indigenous people focusing on the Mississippi River from its headwaters in Minnesota to its mouth in Louisiana, the site of the vanishing traditional home of the Isle de Jean Charles tribe. Kristina is a professional community disaster-recovery specialist who ...

After Fukushima, Japan beginning to see the light in solar energy 18.6.2013 Guardian: Environment
Government subsidies raising interest in renewables, but higher bills could complicate Shinzo Abe's economic recovery plan Across Japan, technology companies and private investors are racing to install devices that until recently they had little interest in: solar panels . Massive solar parks are popping up as part of a rapid build-up that one developer likened to an "explosion." The boom was sparked by a little-noted government policy, implemented nearly a year ago, that guaranteed generous payments to anybody selling renewable energy, including solar power. Because of that policy, known as a feed-in tariff, investors and analysts say Japan has become one of the world's fastest-growing users of solar energy. This year alone, Japan is forecasted to install solar panels with the capacity of five to seven modern nuclear reactors. Before the 2011 meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, Japan had all but neglected renewable energy, instead emphasising atomic power. But the accident at ...

Green groups warn government of national parks hunting backlash 18.6.2013 Guardian: Environment
Labor appears to have backed away from laws granting greater federal powers to protect Australia's national parks Environmental groups have forecast a huge public backlash to proposed logging, shooting and prospecting within national parks, after the government backed away from adding federal oversight to conservation areas. The Greens put forward an amendment to a government bill – on protecting water tables from coal seam gas drilling – that would have given the commonwealth greater power to protect national parks. Under the current the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, the federal government can intervene only if an endangered species, heritage area or place of "national significance" is affected by development. It is understood that the Greens amendment was rejected at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday night. A spokesperson for Tony Burke, the federal environment minister, said that the government supports its bill "as it stands" and that separate 2011 ...
