Smart Planning for the Global Family
When it comes to population growth, the UN has three primary projections. The medium projection, the one most commonly used, has world population reaching 9.2 billion by 2050. The high one reaches 10.5 billion.
Continue readingIEA – Policy support for renewable energy has increased considerably over the last decade
Renewables have been the driver of much of the growth in the global clean energy sector for the past decade. Recent years have seen a major scale up of wind energy and solar power technologies.
Continue readingChina wants to be the largest producer of electric vehicles
China’s bid for the electric cars is as consistent as the one made with wind energy, solar power, photovoltaics, solar thermal and other renewable energies. Oil is expensive, scarce and imported.

When you hear ‘no immediate danger’ from nuclear radiation then you should run away as far and as fast as you can.
Continue readingRenewable energy, a much better option than nuclear power
Wind power and solar energy, after the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power, have proven to be a much cheaper option and without the dangers of nuclear energy.
Continue readingRadioactivity at a hobbled nuclear plant in Fukushima was 10 million times more than normal
The high radiation levels were detected at reactor number 2 in water that had accumulated in the turbine housing unit, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), the Fukushima’s operator, said.
Continue readingChina?s possible 2030 renewable energy target
In China Renewable energy could cover more than 25% of primary energy demand by 2030 with wind power and solar power (photovoltaic and concentrated solar energy).
Continue readingTurn off the lights for Earth Hour
The simple idea behind Earth Hour, originating in Australia a few years ago, has taken off around the world. The project asks everyone to turn off their lights, for one hour, each year at the same time.

China?s decision to import vast quantities of soybeans led to a restructuring of agriculture in the western hemisphere, the only region that could respond to such a massive demand.
Continue readingAmericans Want Less Nuclear Power, More Wind Energy and Solar Power
A majority would freeze new nuclear power construction, stop additional federal loan guarantees for reactors, shift away from nuclear power to wind power and solar energy.
Continue readingJapan finds 11 types of vegetables in Fukushima over radioactive safety standards
Prior to the March 11 quake and ensuing tsunami, no radioactive substances were detected in the seawater near the nuclear plant, the utility said.
Continue readingGeorgia signs cooperation agreement with France’s Renault
The Georgian government and the Renault-Nissan Alliance sign an agreement for preparing a zero emission partnership for electric cars with lithium ion batteries in the country.
Continue readingNuclear renaissance in peril after Japan tsunami
The shift in sentiment, already visible, means plans to build dozens of new nuclear reactors could be derailed, to the benefit of alternative energy sources like solar power and wind energy.
Continue readingJapan’s Chernobyl – Fukushima and the End of the Nuclear Era
Until the explosion at Fukushima, nuclear power was enjoying a renaissance as a ‘clean’ source of energy. Now its future looks a lot less secure.
Continue readingFukushima – official says 2nd blast possible
How many more warnings do we need before we finally grasp that nuclear reactors are inherently hazardous? The nuclear industry always tells us that situation like this cannot happen with modern reactors.
Continue readingWhy World Food Prices May Keep Climbing
In February, world food prices reached the highest level on record. Soaring food prices are already a source of spreading hunger and political unrest, and it appears likely that they will climb further.
Continue readingEWEA – Start the road to 2050 with 30% domestic emission reductions
European Wind Energy Association agrees that the Roadmap’s proposal for a 93-99% cut in CO2 emissions in the power sector by 2050 is essential.
