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Ars Technica: In the US, fully half of the water withdrawn from sources such as lakes and aquifers ends up being used for generating electricity.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...

Power plant carbon emissions fall 10 percent
2013-10-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: A shift by utilities to cleaner burning natural gas helped carbon pollution from power plants fall over the last three years, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Wednesday. EPA began reporting data gathered from 8,000 facilities across the largest pollution-emitting industries on greenhouse gas in 2010. Since, power plant carbon emissions have declined 10 percent. The drop in emissions is attributed to a decrease in coal production for electricity generation...

US carbon dioxide emissions drop 3.8 percent
2013-10-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: A mild winter, new car efficiency standards and the continued switch from power plants run by coal to those fueled by natural gas, a cleaner-burning fuel, were behind a 3.8-percent drop in U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in 2012, announced by the U.S. Energy Information Administration Monday (Oct. 21). The drop was the second largest since 1990, beat out by the drop of 7.1 percent in 2009, which was attributed in large part to the recession that hit the country that year. Emissions have dropped...

US carbon emissions fall to 18-year low. What's behind it?
2013-10-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: The US economy is expanding. Population is growing. But carbon emissions continue to decline. That's the good news. If the trend continues, it would suggest that post-industrial nations can grow while keeping emissions in check. The bad news is that the reduction is limited to the United States whereas the threat of increasing global emissions is global. Energy-related carbon emissions in the US dropped 3.8 percent in 2012 to levels not seen in 18 years, according to a report released Monday...
