SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday blasted the out-of-state oil companies that are trying to undermine California’s global warming law, saying they are motivated purely by greed. Companies such as Valero Energy Corp., Tesoro Corp. and Koch Industries are spending millions of dollars to manipulate the will of Californians and “buy votes,” the Republican governor …

We can’t use it - so why the heck are we prospecting for new oil?

From www.guardian.co.uk:

The third defence is to insist that the link between fossil fuel burning and global warming can be broken by means of carbon capture and storage (CCS): burying the emissions produced by power stations. In theory, and to some extent, it could. But the chances that large-scale CCS will happen are becoming more remote. A new study by the National Technical University of Athens suggests that the carbon price in Europe between now and 2030 is likely to remain so weak that the subsidies for CCS currently offered by European …

Shooting for 60 MPG by 2025

From www.climateark.org:

Maybe you didn’t know your car was a “light-duty vehicle,” but for the purposes of the federal government’s fuel economy and greenhouse gas rules and regulations, it is. Do you think the old crate in your driveway is an environmental paragon? Unless it’s a Prius, probably not. But a growing coalition of green groups (and even the odd …

May 1, Landfill Gas

From www.global-greenhouse-warming.com:

The harvesting of biogas is an important role of waste management because methane is a greenhouse gas with a greater global warming potential than carbon dioxide. Landfill gas can be burned to produce electricity, usually with a reciprocating engine or micro-turbine. The gas is often used in a cogeneration arrangement, to generate electricity and use waste heat to warm the digesters or to heat buildings. Excess electricity can be sold to electricity suppliers. Electricity produced by anaerobic digesters is considered to be green energy and can attract subsidies.

Geoengineering – our last hope in fighting global warming? - 89.3 KPCC

From www.scpr.org:

Most scientists believe global warming poses a threat to our lives here on Earth. But how can we fix it? There is talk of alternative fuels: wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal power, as well as recycling, cutting emissions, etc. But so far, some say, little has been accomplished. So what if humans could alter the climate by changing Earth itself? Some countries and entrepreneurs are conducting geoengineering research to see if this approach is feasible and safe. Many environmentalists shudder at the idea – political, ethical, and social consequences of …
