News and current affairs

The Sudairis, it seems, have apparently left their half brother alone to twist in the wind. Abdullah's proposal could weaken his position domestically, particularly in relation to the country's powerful Islamists.

Accounting for a reduction of 50 Mt of CO2 per year, America's 30,000 wind turbines reduce emissions by just one-tenth the amount that natural gas does.

On the contrary, before the Civil War you could start out splitting rails, light out for the Western Territory, make a success of yourself on the frontier, and wind up as President - if you were named Abraham Lincoln.

It is easier to use than wind or solar power because it can produce electricity around the clock, without reliance on weather conditions.

At the same time, the country must modify its consumption model through greater reliance on hydroelectric, nuclear, and wind energy.

Instead of powering the world economy with fossil fuels, we need to mobilize much greater use of low-carbon alternatives such as wind, solar, and geothermal power.

Either technology will depend on a national electricity grid that uses low-emission forms of power generation, such as wind, solar, nuclear, or coal-fired plants that capture and store the carbon-dioxide emissions.

There is also the challenge inherent in wind-generated electricity: ensuring that the city can continue to run when the wind is not blowing.

The city's plan is to build more than 100 wind turbines within the greater Copenhagen area and in the shallow waters around it.

After all, the whole accounting exercise works only if others are still using fossil fuels that Copenhagen's unpredictable wind power can replace.

Consider Copenhagen's wind-turbine plan, the single largest expected source of savings.

Even if fossil-fuel-powered electricity prices remain constant, Copenhagen's wind turbines become a net drain.

In fact, putting up a wind turbine cuts no extra CO2, because total emissions are already capped under the EU-wide carbon-trading scheme.

The immediate political response to the Japanese disaster will be to make small re-adjustments among known energy sources, including wind and solar.

Renewable energies like solar and wind are already competitive with fossil fuels in many parts of the world, and they can be scaled up rapidly.

Low-carbon electricity can be produced by solar, nuclear, and wind energy, or by coal-burning power plants that capture and store their CO2 emissions.

This does not yet add up to a thaw in the bilateral relationship, but it does suggest that Xi may be seeking a respite, at least until China's economy is on a more stable footing and his anti-corruption campaign begins to wind down.

India ranks fifth in the world in total production of wind power and third in terms of wind power added in 2008.

Suzlon Energy, an Indian company started in 1995 with just 20 people, has become one of the world's leading wind power companies, with offices in 21 countries.

Green energy, especially wind, can indeed help African countries, for example, get some electricity to remote, rural areas; but the grid will do the most good for the most people.

Environmental hazards blow in on the wind.

Intensity measures a hurricane's force, which includes wind speeds, and there has been some recorded increase. The biggest change, however, has been in the duration of hurricanes: how many days each hurricane lasts.

One option is a shift to non-carbon energy sources, such as renewable energy (solar and wind power) and nuclear energy.

Her stall is far from ideal; with every gust of wind, sand and dirt blow over the meat.

The effects of high oil prices thus flow through to the economy without being moderated by the world's central banks leaning against the wind.

Unfortunately, clean, renewable energy sources that do not emit carbon dioxide, such as wind power and geothermal power, are not yet sufficient.

So: fossil fuels are plentiful, but harmful; renewable sources like wind are good for the climate but not plentiful.

Thirdly, between 2000 and 2008, China increased its wind power generating capacity from 340 MW to 10 GW, hydropower from 79.35 GW to 163 GW, and nuclear power from 2.1 GW to 9.1 GW.

Dissidents picked up by the police but not formally arrested sometimes wind up in re-education camps or in psychiatric hospitals run by the public security bureau.

Industrialized nations have developed and made great use of nuclear, solar, wind, and bio-gas, and other renewable energy resources.
