More support for Germanys renewable energy sector as new law gets go-ahead
2014-07-24 14:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The EU Commission announced their approval of Germanys new renewable energy law in Brussels on Wednesday. The Commission thinks the new law will help the country move away from fossil fuels and will not stop competition in the single market. The German Renewable Energy Act or EEG 2014 will support the production of electricity from renewable sources, helping to meet carbon emission targets and will come into force on August 1 2014. The EU Commission estimated the support of renewable electricity...

For Californians, higher costs dampen support for clean energy
2014-07-24 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: An overwhelming majority of California residents support the state's mandate for reducing heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions, so long as they do not bear the higher costs of cleaner energy themselves, a new public opinion poll shows. Eighty percent of adults surveyed believe climate change poses a serious threat to California's economy and lifestyle, and 68 percent back a 2006 law for lowering statewide greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. But support for specific initiatives to...
