Ways to Prevent Global Warming

The supply contract replaces and extends REC’s existing supply relationship with Photovoltech, it said, adding that deliveries of wafers under the new agreement will commence in 2009, and increase over time to a level of about 100 MWp (megawatt peak) per year. Depending on the final capacity and site development, REC said total investments in the site ‘may exceed 3 bln euros within the next 5 years’.

Daniel Botkin’s voice of reason (”Global Warming Delusions,” editorial page, Oct. Regrettably, hyperbole drives many of our policy decisions, thus the ever swinging pendulum seeking the midpoint balance. Al Gore is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for highlighting the importance of climate change, but scientifically based research that might not track with the hyperbolic perception advanced by activists is ignored. read more

Researchers in Britain say in the long term, global warming could lead to a mass extinction of animals and plants. The scientists examined fossil records from more than half a billion years of history. They discovered that each of five major eras of declining diversity corresponded to cycles of severe warming.

Global warming that is reasonably projected might be problematic, although not devastating, for the much-fretted-about polar bears, but it will be beneficial for other species, says columnist George F. Global warming was blamed for 35,000 deaths in Europe’s August 2003 heat wave. So, if substantially cutting carbon dioxide reverses warming, that will mean a large net loss of life globally, says Will. Increasing prosperity and low-tech methods like mosquito nets, not controlling climate change, is the key to preventing 85 million malaria deaths by 2100. Warming will help agriculture in some regions and hurt it in others, but even a net negative effect will be less injurious than current agriculture policies are, says Will. Rich countries subsidizing their agriculture limit the ability of poor countries to prosper — and become healthier — by selling their products in rich countries’ markets. read more

But with global oil prices nearing $90 per barrel, a meat industry coalition is looking to get the government out of the renewable fuel industry. The meat industry is opposed to the expansion of the renewable fuels standard (RFS) for grain-based ethanol that was contained in the Senate-based version of the energy bill. While oil prices are approaching $90 per barrel, wholesale ethanol prices are falling, with the decline being attributed to increased supplies of ethanol on the market. NFU is also a strong supporter of the Senate- and House-passed energy bills, which respectively would expand and accelerate the renewable fuels standard and establish a renewable electricity standard that would mandate increasing amounts of electricity from renewable sources such as wind and biomass. read more

Councilman Ron Grooms — who along with Mayor Rob Waiz represents the city on the Solid Waste District’s governing board — said approximately $21 of next year’s fee will cover Inland’s contract, $7 will fund the district’s operating budget and $5 will be spent on a third-party billing service. Historically, the Solid Waste District’s staff has handled billing, but it has been a source of contention among some officials and was one of the key reasons the Clark County Commissioners cited when they voted last year to withdraw unincorporated areas of the county from mandatory payments for curbside recycling. Council members also voted 6-0 to approve the first reading of an ordinance authorizing an interlocal agreement between the city and the Oak Park Conservancy District, through which the conservancy would provide drainage service to its resident following annexation and provide sewer service to residents in the annexed areas that aren’t already on city or conservancy sewers when the city deems it cost-prohibitive to do so. State law requires that the city provide noncapital services — such as police, fire and sanitation — to the newly annexed areas within a year and capital services — such as sewers — within three years. Gillenwater said cost estimates will not be available until Clarksville-based Jacobi, Toombs & Lanz — which serves as consulting engineers for both the city and conservancy — completes a preliminary study of the annexation area.
