With a Big If, Science Panel Finds Deep Cuts Possible in Auto Emissions and Oil Use
2013-03-18 21:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A panel convened by the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that deep cuts in oil use and emissions of greenhouse gases from cars and light trucks are possible in the United States by 2050, but only with a mix of diverse and intensified research and policies far stronger than those pursued so far by the Obama administration. Sadly, much of the report has a "same as it ever was" feel, including a push for "feebates" on efficient vehicles balanced by a surcharge on gas guzzlers (something...
Petroleum Use, Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Automobiles Could Drop 80 Percent by 2050: U.S. Report

ScienceDaily: A new National Research Council report finds that by the year 2050, the U.S. may be able to reduce petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent for light-duty vehicles -- cars and small trucks -- via a combination of more efficient vehicles; the use of alternative fuels like biofuels, electricity, and hydrogen; and strong government policies to overcome high costs and influence consumer choices. While achieving these goals will be difficult, improving technologies driven by strong...

UK should use shale gas to cut emissions, report says
2013-03-18 11:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The UK should use natural gas, including from "fracking", to help cut carbon by replacing coal for power supplies over the next few years, a report has suggested. But it would be risky to assume gas prices will be low in the coming years or that the UK has extensive supplies of shale gas which is extracted through the controversial process of fracking, the study said. And gas-fired power stations can only play a significant role in generating electricity beyond 2030 if they are fitted with...
