Energy Beyond Oil updates
Posted: 26 Jul 2005, 00:23
Hi all,
Just to let you know that I've just updated the 'News' and 'Library' sections of the Energy Beyond Oil web site with three weeks worth of stories.
http://www.fraw.org.uk/ebo/
Some significant events:
# European Commission have just launched a green paper/public consultation on a new European energy efficiency strategy.
# Conversely, the UK government has scrapped its targets for energy efficiency in new and existing homes.
# UK is burning more coal because gas has become so expensive.
# Exxon says that renewables will never provide as much energy as fossil fuels (wow, not exactly rockert science!)
# Britains first major LNG terminal (since the 60s) has just opened in the Thames Estuary (two more, in Milford Haven, follow next year)
# US Senators are starting an official 'persecution campaign' against leading climate scientists (it's not stated in the news reviews, but this is a right-wing inspired/corporate-centric campaign, in advance of the IPPCs new research that comes out next year, in order to discredit those involved).
# If you think the weather's whacky here, it's worse around the rest of Europe
# A new DEFRA report has some really interesting information on 'food miles'
