The Tesla Roadster Hits The Road…To Tahoe
Excerpt:
"What could be more “San Francisco” than Mayor Gavin Newsom taking the Tesla Roadster — Silicon Valley’s clean tech hot rod — for a spin around the block down at Fisherman’s Wharf? I almost choked on the orange smoothie the caterers were passing out as the lanky mayor drove the silent silver electric sports car out of the Hyatt Hotel parking lot this morning — it was too classic."

Renewable Fuels Standard Program is in Effect Sept 1
Excerpt:
"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that the nation’s first renewable fuels standard (RFS) program, which was created by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and will promote the use of American-grown biofuels, will take effect Sept. 1. As in over Labor Day weekend, folks. That means the biofuel industry (refiners, blenders and importers) has to meet certain reporting, registration, and compliance standards by that deadline. As we all know by now, fuel made from plants, waste, food crops and the seemingly endless A to Z of biomass materials is becoming a booming business. According to Clean Edge, the global market for biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) will grow from $20.5 billion in 2006 to $80.9 billion by 2016. The industry is also generating controversy as the prices of certain food items has risen, and critics are questioning the efficiency of first-generation biofuel methods."

An A to Z of the Biofuel Economy
Excerpt:
"We’ve written plenty about the growing biofuel market and the rising concern over the sustainability of corn or wheat ethanol and soy biodiesel production. Here’s an A to Z of alternative materials and innovative processes that can turn that biomass into fuel. From milk-based ethanol, to termite intestines that help make biofuels, check out these 26 sources."

Mankind to blame for warming but can slow damage
Excerpt:
"Mankind is to blame for climate change but governments still have time to slow accelerating damage at moderate cost if they act quickly, a draft U.N. report shows.
Underlining the need for speed, it says a European Union goal of holding temperature rises to a maximum 2 Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times is almost out of reach.
The 21-page study, due for release in November, lays out possible responses to global warming but cautions that some impacts are already inevitable, such as a gradual rise in sea levels that is set to last for centuries.
The report gives a first overview of 3,000 pages of research by the U.N.'s climate panel already published in three installments this year about the science, the likely impacts and the costs of slowing climate change."

Norway Island Prison Goes Ecological
Excerpt:
"The minimum-security Bastoey Prison, a lockup on a lush island that has often been compared to a summer camp, now has claimed a new distinction: the world's first ecological prison.
Without locked gates or barbed wire, the prison operates with solar panels, wood-fire heating instead of oil, strict recycling and eco-friendly food production _ a 10-year project officials say was aimed at helping the roughly 115 prisoners learn values such as protecting the environment and respecting others.
"Our job is to create the best possible development opportunities for the individual, and lay the foundation for possible changes," said prison director Oeyvind Alnaes."

Wind farm debate split environmentalists
Excerpt:
"Long Island's half-decade tango with offshore wind power tested the definition of the term environmentalist, pitting fervent advocates for green power against potential supporters who wanted stronger assurances about the project's potential impact on birds, bats and fish.
After the controversial project was terminated last week, the wind farm's strongest advocates seemed divided on whether the $800 million price tag should have been the deciding factor given the global warming crisis. Meanwhile, those who always questioned whether the proper studies would ever be done to know the project's environmental impacts pointed to divisions in the community that question the claim the wind-farm was done in by a horde of NIMBYs."

Forecast for solar power: Sunny - USA Today
Excerpts:
'Venture-capital firms pumped $264 million into solar companies in 2006, up from $64 million in 2004, research firm Clean Edge says. The start-ups also have benefited from $159 million in U.S. research grants this year, largesse from efforts to reduce power plants' global-warming emissions."
and:
"The solar industry is expected to triple in the next three years, from about $13 billion to $40 billion in revenue, says analyst Jesse Pichel of Piper Jaffray. (PJC) Turbocharging sales are government incentives in countries such as Germany and Japan. In the USA, generous customer rebates in California and New Jersey — by far the largest U.S. solar markets — along with a federal tax credit have trimmed system prices by a third or more.
Most states don't offer solar rebates, but prices still have fallen about 90% since the mid-1980s — 40% annually the past five years — as surging sales have led to cost efficiencies, says Rhone Resch, head of the Solar Energy Industries Association. Now, experts say it will take a quantum technological leap to quickly lower prices to utility levels. An armada of companies say they are poised to do just that:"

BP gets break on soot limits - Indiana decision insulates firm from new federal rules
Excerpt:
"Indiana regulators have granted BP another exemption from environmental standards, this time relaxing rules requiring a sharp drop in harmful soot pollution from the company's Whiting oil refinery.
The decision by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management would allow BP to keep releasing the same amount of microscopic air pollution as it does today, despite changes in federal rules that would have required the refinery to cut emissions in half."

It's no breeze making switch to wind power (UK)
Excerpt:
"Wind speeds have been increased by global warming, and the British Wind Energy Association says the UK could become a world leader in small wind energy technologies. But these are early days. The Energy Saving Trust is testing the performance of several wind turbines mounted on houses, and its report is due next year.
Meanwhile, at least two companies claim to have cracked the noise issue. Quiet Revolution has ample demand for its 6kW, £25,000 turbine. This has twisted helical blades that turn more slowly than models with propeller blades. The company is developing a version which can be mounted on a house, and which should be available late next year (http://www.quietrevolution.co.uk/).
And Edinburgh-based Renewable Devices (http://www.renewabledevices.com/, 0131 535 3301) has developed the Swift, which, it says, is the world's first silent, building-mounted turbine, designed to eliminate unwanted vibration. It can generate 1·5kW, but it costs £4,500. Increased production could knock a third off the price by next year.
Prices will continue to come down. Windsave's David Gordon says: "By combining solar and wind energy, consumers could soon save 40-50 per cent of their energy bill.""

CALIFORNIA STATE BUDGET HOLD-UP ENDS: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EXAMINED California Progress Report, CA

"As you probably know, the State Legislature finally passed a budget. Fifty-two days after the start of the fiscal year, two Senate Republicans finally added their "aye" votes to the votes of all the Senate Democrats, thus achieving the two-thirds vote required.
What was the pound of flesh extracted for this vote? Republican leaders in the Senate were asking for two things: (1) $700 million more in cuts, and (2) an amendment of California's premier environmental law – the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) - to eliminate consideration of global warming impacts during the normal environmental review process. The Governor promised to deliver on the first matter weeks ago."

BP bows to environmental pressure not to increase pollution discharge - Hemscott, UK
Excerpt:
"BP PLC said said it will not increase the amount of pollution it dumps into Lake Michigan after weeks of criticism by environmentalists and politicians, even though this may scupper expansion plans.
Despite receiving state approval to increase the amount of ammonia and suspended solids it dumps into the Great Lakes in line with plans to expand its oil refinery in Whiting, east of Chicago, the company said it will not make use of the increased discharge limits.
However the 3.8 bln usd expansion, which is designed to increase the amount of Canadian heavy crude processed at the more than 400,000 barrel-per-day refinery from 30 to 90 pct, could be cancelled if the company finds that the self-imposed restrictions impact on the viability of the project."
