Star-Ledger: We are facing an epic dilemma: Our use of fossil fuels isnt being curbed by supply or demand. Domestic natural gas supplies are growing, and prices are dropping. Yet if we burn all the fossil fuels that are accessible with modern techniques such as fracking and directional drilling, we are doomed. Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming. This is what causes extreme weather like blazing heat waves, prolonged droughts, storm...

10 ways wind power is beating fossil fuel power in India
2013-07-15 08:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gigaom: Anyone who`s experienced - or even read about - the widespread blackouts in cities across India, realizes how much power generation India has to add every year just to maintain what its growing, and rapidly developing, population and domestic industries need. But on the brighter side of all that electricity growth is that wind power is making up an increasing amount of the new power generation added in the country because wind power is now competitive with, and in some cases even cheaper than, coal...
