Wind Power Is Now the Cheapest Source of Energy in Denmark - Planet Experts. Last week Denmark’s Energy Association announced that wind power had become the cheapest source of energy in the country.
Further, when two new offshore wind farms become active in 2016, wind energy will cost half the price of coal and natural gas. This announcement marks a major achievement in Denmark’s energy policy, as it has pursued wind power more diligently than any other nation. The country has set the goal of generating 70 percent of its power from renewables by 2020 and seems well on its way to doing so. Today, about 43 percent of its energy comes from clean sources – mostly wind and solar.

Renewable energy can power the world, says landmark IPCC study. Renewable energy could account for almost 80% of the world's energy supply within four decades - but only if governments pursue the policies needed to promote green power, according to a landmark report published on Monday.
The Fourth Revolution: Energy. The Fourth Revolution: Energy, also known as Die 4.
Revolution – Energy Autonomy, is a German documentary film about renewable energy by Carl-A. Fechner, released in 2010. It shows the vision of a global society, which lives in a world where the energy is produced 100% with renewable energies, showing a complete reconstruction of the economy, to reach this goal. Energy Blue Print team: primary energy consumption. Brian Cox: scientists giving false sense of debate on climate change. Scientists are doing the public a disservice in their attempts to communicate certainty in climate change science, often giving a “false sense of debate” by being overly precise, says broadcaster and physicist Professor Brian Cox.
Climate scientists are 95% certain that humans are the main cause of the current global warming the world is experiencing. But Cox said this level of accuracy had been manipulated by “nonsensical”, politically-motivated climate sceptics. “I think we do a disservice to the public. If you look down the [camera] lens and see your head of department or your PhD supervisor, whoever it might be, then you’ll start being scientifically precise and you’ll mislead the public.
Because you’ll give them a false sense of debate,” he told an audience at a fundraiser for the Society of Biology. ARE WE DOOMED? - 300.org. The World is facing a climate emergency due to global warming from man-derived greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution.
The atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is now 394 parts per million (ppm) and increasing at 2.4 ppm per year. Until recently the atmospheric CO2 concentration was in the range of 180-300 ppm for the last 800,000 years, fluctuations in this range giving rise to successive glacial and inter-glacial periods that imposed selection pressures upon evolving humanity. The average surface temperature is now +0.8C above that in 1900 and this has already been associated with major climate, weather and biological disruptions. Indeed the species extinction rate is now 100-1,000 timers greater than normal. [1]. Collective, national responsibility for this already commenced Climate Genocide is in direct proportion to per capita national pollution of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Basically we know what the problem is (man-made GHG pollution) and how to solve it. 1. Europe’s paper makers hope to slash energy bill. Paper production at Finland's Stora Enso, the world's biggest producer The art of making paper is among the oldest industrial processes in the world, yet technology innovation has come at a slow pace over the past century.
The last industry game-changer was 21 years ago, with the introduction of the shoe press to squeeze out excess water. Before that, you have to go back to 1929 when the recovery boiler was developed. Today, however, the industry thinks it could be close to a true breakthrough. Passage of Carbon Tax through Aus Parliament. China's Solar Dragon Year 2012. Extreme makeover: are humans reshaping Earth? If alien geologists were to visit our planet 10 million years from now, would they discern a distinct human fingerprint in Earth's accumulating layers of rock and sediment?
Will homo sapiens, in other words, define a geological period in the way dinosaurs -- and their vanishing act -- helped mark the Jurassic and the Cretaceous? A growing number of scientists, some gathered at a one-day symposium this week at the British Geological Society in London, say "yes". One among them, chemistry Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen, has even suggested a new name: the Anthropocene. Whether this "age of man" will be short or long is unknown, says Crutzen, who shared his Nobel for unmasking the man-made chemicals eating away at the atmosphere's protective ozone layer. For the first time in Earth's 4.7 billion year history, a single species has not only radically changed Earth's morphology, chemistry and biology, it is now aware of having done so. It also triggered fierce debate. Abstract_Lisbon_Robinson. Australia Oil - imports - Economy.
