A senior US official called China's growing innovation a "Sputnik moment" that should spur the United States to ramp up investment in clean energy, despite a shift in Washington on climate change.

Solar power as we know it has been around for almost a century. Many people believe that its still the same basic technology that helped power early spacecraft and the White House in the 1970’s. But advancements over the past 10 years have brought solar to the cutting edge with new investment and an emphasis [...]

Washington Post: Many policymakers and business leaders have come to see the most basic method of slowing global warming- cutting carbon dioxide emissions through a binding treaty - as elusive for now. They are turning their attention instead toward a more achievable goal: curbing other greenhouse gases that are warming the planet.

Agence France-Presse: The terrible human cost of cyclones and flooding are plain to see in southwest Bangladesh, a low-lying, impoverished region on the frontline of the battle to adapt to climate change.
Cyclone Aila, which hit in May last year, killed 300 people, washed away the embankments which make coastal regions habitable, and left 150,000 survivors reliant on emergency relief supplies including free rice.
Aila was particularly destructive as a huge volume of water, swollen by spring tides, slammed into a...
Telegraph: However the latest round of talks in Cancun, Mexico, has already been played down as just a 'stepping stone' on the way to a global deal.
Patricia Espinosa Espinosa, Mexico's Foreign Minister and President of the talks, said that world leaders were invited to the talks if they want.
She said around 25 have agreed to come.
"All those heads of state interested in participating are welcome by the Mexican Government it will be a pleasure and an honour for all of us to have them here,' she said....
Telegraph: A ''greater sense of urgency and purpose'' is needed at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) to help meet targets agreed while Labour were in power, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said.
Britain signed up to a legally binding European Union target to supply 15 per cent of all energy from renewable sources by 2020 when Mr Miliband, now Labour leader, was in charge of the department.
Margaret Hodge, the Labour MP and PAC chairwoman, said progress on renewable energy targets...
New York Times: Progress Energy Carolinas, one of the South’s larger utilities, faced a dilemma last winter. Several of its coal-fired power plants were aging and needed scrubbers to reduce emissions and meet North Carolina pollution laws. Executives figured that even tougher regulations were coming from Washington, and overhauling 11 generators at four plants would have cost nearly $2 billion, which would have been passed on to the company’s 1.5 million electric customers. Plunging natural gas prices, however,...
Journal Sentinel: Xcel Energy Inc. on Monday halted plans to build a biomass power plant on Lake Superior in Ashland.
The utility holding company's Eau Claire-based utility informed the state Public Service Commission of its decision in a letter Monday.
Xcel had planned to build a biomass gasification plant that would have made the Ashland power plant the largest wood-burning power plant in the Midwest.
The decision came as a result of a significant increase in the cost of the project, as well as declining...
Guardian: As negotiators and ministers enter the next round of international negotiations on climate change, they face a painful conundrum; domestic politics in the US has made it nigh on impossible for countries to sign a legally binding agreement in Mexico. Yet the need for such an agreement is ever more obvious, as climate impacts accelerate, countries jostle for advantage in the clean technology markets while still burning coal and oil at record speeds; and money begins to flow into a complex series of...
Guardian: As climate talks start this week in Cancún, the common refrain that pervades the media and some negotiators is of "low expectations." I wonder whose expectations they are talking about. Do they think the one million people in the Bolivian city El Alto, who face increasingly chronic water shortages from the disappearance of glaciers, have low expectations? Do they think Pacific islanders whose homelands will soon disappear beneath the rising sea have low expectations? I believe that the majority of...
Guardian: America has adopted a tough all-or-nothing position at the Cancún climate change summit, fuelling speculation of a walk-out if developing countries do not meet its demands.
At the opening of the talks at Cancún, the US climate negotiator, Jonathan Pershing, made clear America wanted a "balanced package" from the summit.
That's diplomatic speak for a deal that would couple the core issues for the developing world – agreement on climate finance, technology, deforestation – with US demands for...
Earth Times: The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancun, Mexico, inaugurated on November 29, 2010, has India as an active participant. The Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012 and with it the first emission reduction commitments signed. While experts say the conference isn't expected to yield much by way of new agreements, questions are being raised about the Indian government's take on national climate control policies.
A public awareness campaign titled Climate Revolution Initiative that works to transform...
BBC: The president of the UK Royal Society, Lord Rees, has said that it is "essential" for governments to prepare for the worst effects of climate change.
"The concentration of carbon dioxide is rising inexorably," said Lord Rees, "the science is firming up and that tells us that there is a risk of serious climate change in the next 50 years.
"Even though there is uncertainty, I think that it is essential to prepare for the worst case".
Part of that preparation is to invest more in developing...
BBC: The growing global demand for natural resources risks undermining Europe's economy, a report has warned.
The outlook, produced by the European Environment Agency, said the increases were driven by a need to satisfy changes in global consumption patterns.
The agency said there were no "quick fixes" but called on businesses, individuals and policymakers to work together to become more efficient.
It added that Europe had made progress on emissions, but more had to be done.
"We are consuming...
Agence France-Presse: A senior US official called China's growing innovation a "Sputnik moment" that should spur the United States to ramp up investment in clean energy, despite a shift in Washington on climate change.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu likened a series of Chinese milestones -- including the development of the world's fastest supercomputer -- to the Soviet Union's landmark 1957 satellite that led the United States into the Space Race.
"America, I am optimistic, will wake up and see the opportunity. And...

Telegraph: More than 190 countries are gathered in Cancun, Mexico for the latest round of United Nations talks on climate change.
The talks were opened by Felipe Calderon, the President of Mexico, with promises to progress towards a global deal that will keep global warming below 2C (3.6F) by limiting global emissions.
However the cracks are already showing. African nations are refusing to work with the EU because they believe that the rich world is failing to make strong enough commitments on preventing...
Telegraph: Speaking at the climate change conference in Cancun, Dr Rajendra Pachauri said the next report on global warming by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will not only look at the threat of rising temperatures but so-called "geo-engineering" options that could actually reverse warming. The announcement implies that scientists are losing faith in a global deal to stop temperature rise by limiting emissions. There are already low expectations for the latest round of UN talks being...
Telegraph: In a series of papers published by the Royal Society, physicists and chemists from some of world's most respected scientific institutions, including Oxford University and the Met Office, agreed that current plans to tackle global warming are not enough.
Unless emissions are reduced dramatically in the next ten years the world is set to see temperatures rise by more than 4C (7.2F) by as early as the 2060s, causing floods, droughts and mass migration.

Associated Press: Officials are investigating why a cooling water pump in a reactor at a Connecticut nuclear power plant stopped unexpectedly during routine maintenance work, causing the reactor to automatically shut down.
Plant owner spokesman Ken Holt says the Unit 2 reactor shut down at 3:15 p.m. Sunday. It had not been reactivated by Monday evening.
The system will be restarted only after investigators figure out what caused the cooling water pump to shut down.
Diminion spokesman Holt says the federal...
Mongabay: By the time children born this year reach 50 years old, the Earth could be 4 degrees Celsius warmer (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) warns a new study as governments meet in Cancun for this year's UN climate summit, which is not expected to produce an agreement. Last year governments pledged in the non-binding Copenhagen Accord to keep temperatures below a 2 degree Celsius rise, but a new study in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A argues that even with current promises to cut emissions this...
NYT: A banner that was posted on a bridge over the Seine during the fisheries conference in Paris.
International fisheries negotiators dashed hopes for protection of the bluefin tuna over the weekend in Paris, agreeing to leave fishing quotas for the endangered fish essentially unchanged next year. Conservationists did claim small victories in measures to protect sharks and turtles, however.
As I wrote in Sunday`s paper, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, or Iccat,...

The global demand for batteries is expected to grow exponentially over the next 20 years. We cannot make the conversion to clean energy without first acknowledging the need for energy storage and transfer (better batteries and a smarter grid).
