EcoWatch: New research released by an independent grid operator confirms that wind energy is drastically decreasing both the price of electricity and emissions of harmful pollutants. The study was led by PJM, the independent grid operator for all or parts of 13 Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes states (Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia) and DC. The results are posted here. Highlights of the study:...

Limiting carbon emissions is harder when youre conserving water
2013-10-30 08:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: In the US, fully half of the water withdrawn from sources such as lakes and aquifers ends up being used for generating electricity. Most of that water is converted to steam, cooled, and returned to its original source. Even in those cases, however, losses during the cooling process reduce the total amount of water available. The end result is that electricity generation competes with other potential uses for the water. In cases of severe drought, power generation may end up losing, reducing the...

Australia: Emissions target inadequate, says Climate Change Authority

Advocate: Australia's greenhouse gas reduction target of 5 per cent this decade is inadequate and should be increased to at least 15 per cent, according to the agency set up to advise the government on climate change policy. In a draft report that is likely to ignite further debate about the Abbott government's policies, the Climate Change Authority said Australia should aim for a 15 per cent cut in emissions by 2020 compared with 2000 levels as a ''minimum option''. The authority, which the Coalition...
