The “war on coal” is over, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt declared (again) this week, as he set about undoing President Obama’s Clean Power Plan. Really, though, economics more than government regulation is defeating coal as a power plant fuel. The Union of Concerned Scientists, in a paper this week, tracks the steep decline in U.S. coal-fired generation over the past decade and forecasts that it will continue unabated. Market forces, primarily cheap natural gas but also declining costs for renewables, will push many more coal plants off the grid. Links to the report are here.

When leaving the grid makes sense

REMEMBER, AS WELL AS EMISSIONS IN THE USA THE AMOUNT OF HOT AIR EMINATING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS EQUAL TO THE FLATULENCE OF A LARGE HERD OF CATTLE.

October 13, 2017 — The Australian federal government’s love affair with coal has reached new levels in recent years, with federal ministers bringing chunks of the mineral into parliament and donning high-visibility mining vests as pro-coal publicity stunts. Yet against this backdrop, one Australian state has managed to break global records in the renewable energy space.

Published on Jul 30, 2017
Elon Musk from Tesla speaks at the press conference announcing the world’s largest lithium ion battery being installed in South Australia under a historic agreement between French renewable energy company Neoen, US sustainable energy company Tesla and the South Australian Government.

The energy storage systems from Tesla will be paired with Neoen’s Hornsdale Wind Farm and installed before summer.

Confirming the commitment from Tesla CEO Elon Musk to deliver the battery within 100 days or it is free, it has been agreed between Tesla and the South Australian Government that the starting date for the 100 days will be once the grid interconnection agreement has been signed.

After leading the nation in renewable energy, the 100MW / 129MWh battery places South Australia at the forefront of global energy storage technology.

The battery will operate at all times providing stability services for renewable energy, and will be available to provide emergency back-up power if a shortfall in energy is predicted.

The deal will also bring other investments by both Neoen and Tesla into South Australia’s economy, with details to be announced in the future.

The selection of Neoen will also strengthen South Australia’s links with France’s high-tech sector and reinforce the State’s world-leading role in tackling global warming.

The Elon Musk battery project will put South Australia at the forefront of global energy storage technology.

The growth of data publicly available on the internet has been a boon for biological science and conservation. But it is also being used by poachers and dishonest collectors to locate rare plants and animals and sell them illegally for a hefty price.

never efer gave it much thought tybh

This is attached to a device that measures particulate matter in the air. Within seconds, the figure on his display shoots from 800 particles per cubic centimeter to over 50,000. It finally tops out at 73,000.
"At a busy intersection of a major traffic artery in a big city, you might get around 16,000," Diesener says - with the reserved calm for which northern Germans are known. The figures speak for themselves.
edit

"Even now, most ships burn highly toxic heavy fuel oil when they are out on the high seas," Diesener explains. Heavy fuel oil is essentially a residual product from fuel production. "You produce gasoline, you produce diesel - and what is left over is heavy fuel oil."
And it burns 100 times dirtier than marine diesel - and an incredible 3,500 times dirtier than regular car diesel

Think diesel cars are dirty? Try ships!
There's massive public worry about diesel car emissions these days - but the really big polluters are plying our waters.

dont mind saying no that anyones likely overly interested re Au/NZ observations
but sayng
Aus often 10 years ahead of us in some things
similarly NZ is often 10 years ahead of Au

nt his case i am statinhg that NZ went thru all this ENERGY humbug the politicans come up with
same old thing they PROMISED us cheaper power
ended up we have been paying excessive/exorbitant prices for power, because of what the amateruish ;politicinans had decided 10/15 years ago what was supposedly better for the consumers

go figure as thewy say
Au is heading that way, ignorant politicians dont learn ,thru there own mistakes. let alone another close countrys mistakes

Death by Design - Featured Documentary


Published on Oct 19, 2017
Consumers love - and live on - their smartphones, tablets and laptops. A cascade of new devices pours endlessly into the market, promising even better communication, non-stop entertainment and instant information. The numbers are staggering.

The cell and smartphone industries have saturated the market; in 2015, it was estimated that 98 percent of all US citizens aged between 18 - 29 years owned a cellphone. A staggering 86 percent owned smartphones. By 2020, four billion people will have a personal computer. Five billion will own a mobile phone.

But this revolution has a dark side, hidden from most consumers.

In an investigation that spans the globe, filmmaker Sue Williams investigates the underbelly of the electronics industry. What was uncovered tells an entirely different story to the falsified 'clean industry' reputation promoted by the global electronics industry and the semi-conductor industry.

Even the smallest devices can have deadly environmental and health costs that are not only immediate but can span generations of workers who are still suffering the effects of a bandaid culture.

From the intensely secretive factories in China, to a ravaged New York community and the high tech corridors of Silicon Valley, the film tells a story of environmental degradation, of health tragedies, and the fast approaching tipping point between consumerism and sustainability

There are approximately 2 Kangaroos and 2.5 sheep for every person in Australia.

So this means there are nearly 50 million Kangaroos and 60 million sheep.

And then you have a robotics engineer spending millions to build a robot Kangaroo. That if it fell over, it would be useless.

Ok. Does this mean robot kangaroos are an endangered species?

For centuries, the indigenous Nenets people and their reindeer herds have made an annual migration through the Russian Arctic—but massive energy infrastructure projects and a warming climate are threatening their way of life.


No take zone
Marine reserves not only benefit fish within them, but also those beyond their boundaries. New research from the University of Auckland found that young snapper off the coast of Northland are related to adult snapper from the Goat Island marine reserve, tens of kilometres away.

Goat Island was New Zealand's first marine reserve, and its opening in 1977 was vehemently protested. “Nothing to do at Goat Island Bay any more," declared a local newspaper headline. Today, the reserve overflows with visitors drawn by its marine life.

Australia's Mine Games - 101 East
Published on Oct 19, 2017
It will be the largest coal mine in Australia and one of the biggest in the world - if it goes ahead.
The proposed Carmichael mine will span more than 30 kilometres and produce 60 million tonnes of coal annually. Adani, the Indian company behind the mine, says it will create thousands of jobs, and it has the Australian Government's unwavering support.
But its facing fierce opposition from critics who say the mine is commercially unviable and will wreak havoc on the environment.

Australia’s Turnbull nixes clean energy target

In Australia, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has dropped a proposed clean energy target that would have required 42 percent of the country’s power to come from solar and wind by 2030. Instead, the government will place requirements on energy retailers to ensure reliability and lower emissions, though details of this plan still must be worked out. Turnbull had faced a revolt from right-wing members of his Liberal party who don’t believe climate change is a threat, Reuters reports, here. Environmental groups condemned the abandonment of the target, which had been proposed by Australia’s chief scientist to meet the country’s commitments under the Paris climate accord, according to an Associated Press story, here.

EU lawmakers vote to ban glyphosate weed killer by 2022
The European Parliament has called for glyphosate to be banned by 2022 amid fears the weed killer causes cancer. The move puts pressure on the EU Commission which recommended its license should be renewed for 10 years.



As time is running out to renew the EU's license for glyphosate, lawmakers in the European Parliament approved a resolution on Tuesday that calls for the herbicide to be banned in the bloc altogether.

Climate change 'at the heart' of Jacinda Ardern's plans for New Zealand
New Zealand's prime minister-elect Jacinda Ardern signs the coalition agreement between the Labour Party and NZ First and reveals her Government's plans to ensure the country generates 100 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2035.



In addition to the environmental initiatives, Ms Ardern also outlined plans to raise the minimum wage, stop foreigners from buying existing homes, and possibly change how New Zealand's Reserve Bank operates.

The 37-year-old will be New Zealand's youngest leader in more than 150 years and hopes to take the country on a more liberal path following nine years of rule by the conservative National Party.

"I don't need to be influenced on climate change," she said.
"It will sit at the heart of what this Government does."

For years, the Environmental Protection Agency has struggled to prevent an ingredient once used in stain-resistant carpets and nonstick pans from contaminating drinking water.
The chemical, perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, has been linked to kidney cancer, birth defects, immune system disorders and other serious health problems.

New science suggests the ocean could rise more — and faster — than we thought

Climate change could lead to sea level rises that are larger, and happen more rapidly, than previously thought, according to a trio of new studies that reflect mounting concerns about the stability of polar ice.

In one case, the research suggests that previous high end projections for sea level rise by the year 2100 — a little over three feet — could be too low, substituting numbers as high as six feet at the extreme if the world continues to burn large volumes of fossil fuels throughout the century.

DOM SMITH/STAT
LONGYEARBYEN, Svalbard, Norway — How do you care for a polar bear bite? John Aksel Bilicz knows.

For more than 10 years, Bilicz has been hospital manager and head nurse at Longyearbyen Hospital, the northernmost hospital in the world located just 800 miles from the North Pole on the remote Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. He has responded to everything from childbirth to polar bear attacks. His weathered skin reflects the harshness of living here, and a thick Norwegian accent colorfully describes his experiences.
