Don't delay on renewable energy, government told
|

The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Committee on Climate Change says the sooner the UK invests in low-carbon power generation the cheaper it will be
Investing in new renewable power generation, rather than a "dash for gas", will be the lower-cost option for keeping the lights on while cutting greenhouse gas emissions, the government's climate change watchdog has said.
The sooner the UK makes large investments in low-carbon generation – including offshore and onshore wind, nuclear power and energy from waste – the cheaper it will be, according to David Kennedy, chief executive of the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), the statutory body that advises ministers on meeting emissions targets.
The conclusions are likely to be controversial, as many MPs on the right of the Tory party have been clamouring for an end to onshore windfarms and reductions in renewable subsidies.
They would prefer to see a new "dash for gas" that would require the UK to massively expand shale gas drilling and import tens of billions of pounds worth ... |

Tesla a success for federal loan program

| Tesla a success for federal loan program
Created under the Bush administration, the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing loan program became part of President Obama's economic stimulus plan, which emphasized green jobs and renewable power. First to pay backOf the five car companies that received loans from the program, including Ford Motor Co. and Nissan North America, Tesla is the first to pay the money back. [...] the loan also dragged Tesla into the fierce partisan debate that erupted after another clean-tech company funded by the federal government - Solyndra, located just over 1 mile from Tesla's plant in Fremont - filed for bankruptcy. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney criticized Tesla's loan on the campaign trail. 'Living proof'"The department first offered loans to Tesla and other auto manufacturers in June 2009, when car companies couldn't get other financing and many people questioned whether the industry would survive," Moniz said.

Griff Rhys Jones on 'desecration' of countryside
|
22.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| The comedian says renewable energy projects are subsidy-hunting free enterprise, despoiling 'pristine landscapes'
The comedian Griff Rhys Jones has accused the government of "random desecration" of the countryside and despoiling "pristine landscapes" through its subsidies to wind turbines and solar power.
Responding to criticism of his objection to a solar farm near his home in Suffolk last week , he said it was "not really a Nimby issue," that he was not a climate sceptic and he thought the UK should be powered by new nuclear reactors, not renewable energy.
"We surely need better solutions to global warming than randomly scattered whirly-gigs [sic], and thousands of acres of glinting solar panels, however soothing to our consciences," he wrote in a letter to the Guardian .
Jones has criticised wind turbines as "green tokenism" in the past but his new broadside ups the temperature and broadens his criticism to taxpayer support of green energy, the planning system and the ... |

Young and dynamic: social entrepreneurship in Austria
|
22.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Austria's social enterprise sector is growing – and is now looking for talented young people to help shape its future
Social entrepreneurship in Austria is still a young sector – 75% of all initiatives are not older than four years. But they are growing constantly – as is the awareness about what social entrepreneurship is and how social innovation can contribute to societal development.
According to a recent study by the Vienna University of Economics and Business , there are around 270 social entrepreneurs to be found in Austria. An infrastructure to support them is slowly emerging, providing co-working spaces, consulting, training or access to networks of supporters.
Many individuals do not yet realise that they are in fact social entrepreneurs and that there is a new career pathway unfolding, which receives increasing public acknowledgement. That is why raising awareness about this new type of work and business model, entrepreneurial culture and new career opportunities is still on ... |
