			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The U.S. state that takes climate change most seriously&#8212;California&#8212;has unanimously approved new rules dubbed the Advanced Clean Cars program to lower carbon emissions, reduce oil dependence, mitigate health impacts from pollution, and save consumers money in the long-term. According to the new standards, by 2025 cars sold in California must cut greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent and smog emissions by 75 percent. The program will also require 15.4 percent of all cars sold in California to be zero or near-zero emissions by 2025. ]]></content:encoded>

With governments and corporations slow to tackle massive environmental problems, people have begun to assert themselves. Victories were seen on four continents: in Bolivia a draconian response to protestors embarrassed the government, causing them to drop plans to build a road through Tipnis, an indigenous Amazonian reserve; in Myanmar, a nation not known for bowing to public demands, large protests pushed the government to cancel a massive Chinese hydroelectric project; in Borneo a three-year struggle to stop the construction of a coal plant on the coast of the Coral Triangle ended in victory for activists; in Britain plans to privatize forests created such a public outcry that the government not only pulled back but also apologized; and in the U.S. civil disobedience and massive marches pressured the Obama Administration to delay a decision on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would bring tar sands from Canada to a global market.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[It's always sunny in low-Earth orbit, so what better place to look for a source of solar energy? With the end of "cheap oil" rumored to be rapidly approaching (if not already upon us), not to mention the effects of fossil fuel use upon the environment and climate, sources of alternate, clean and renewable energy appear to be the unavoidable wave of the future. But the key factor in all these ventures is efficiency -- how to get the most "bang for the buck" in the harnessing, creation and distribution of energy.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~4/V9Yt9wUC2g4" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

Clusters of tubular wind towers, rising up to 300 feet above ridgelines and gusty plains, are an increasingly familiar sight.

The policy includes a goal "to power all of our operations with clean and renewable energy," however does not go so far as to state it is dropping coal at this time or give a timeline as to when it may do so. Still, Greenpeace is calling the new policy by Facebook a victory. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Yesterday, as the climate talks in Durban were coming to the close, delegates from around the world finally arrived at a compromise.  After a marathon negotiation which spanned three sleepless nights, the delegates managed to save the international process and stave off collapse.  The hope going into the talks was to finalize the agreement that was proposed the previous year, and that is what they did.  The agreement establishes a new multi-billion dollar fund to assist developing nations adapt to a changing climate and produce clean energy.  In addition, Europe has kept the Kyoto treaty alive for another five years.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~4/4r4t2a1pdGE" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The 138 page document has been released by the New Jersey Governor's Office that is a master plan on energy for the state.  This final version is largely the same as the draft document released last summer, save for a few changes.  It lays out the direction for how the state will meet its energy demands over the next decade.  The point that stands out is the goal for renewable energy, which has been lowered to 22.5 percent by 2021 as compared to the goal of 30 percent by the previous administration.  The plan sets an overall goal of obtaining 70 percent of electricity from clean energy sources by 2050, which would include nuclear, natural gas, and hydroelectric.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~4/wUQroDo9ZlE" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Geothermal power’s been something of an orphan when it comes to the drive to transition from fossil fuel to clean, renewable energy economies. That’s despite the release of recent studies showing that the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia – Western Australia in particular – have geothermal resources that dwarf their energy needs, and despite the fact that it’s a proven, time-tested, economic source of clean, reliable baseload power.  That’s not to say that there aren’t places around the world where geothermal power project exploration and development isn’t ramping up at a fast pace. Boise, Idaho; Reno, Nevada; Reykjavik, Iceland; the UAE’s Masdar City; and Perth, Australia stand out when it comes to tapping into and harnessing earth’s geothermal resources, according to a Global Innovation Series post on Mashable Tech.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~4/IOM5g-tYpDw" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Africa is leading the push for clean energy policy-making as climate change turns millions of its people into "food refugees," the head of the U.N. Environment Program (UNEP) Achim Steiner said.
                        
                        "On the African continent, there is sometimes more leadership being shown by countries, by governments, than we see in some of the industrialized nations," Steiner told Reuters.
                        
                        "Kenya is currently doubling its energy and electricity generating infrastructure largely using renewables. These are policies that are pioneering, that are innovative," he said.
                        
                        Kenya generates most of its energy from hydroelectric dams but water levels have fallen due to recurring drought. It is now investing heavily in geothermal and wind power.
                        
                        The African Development Bank is financing Africa's biggest wind farm on the shores of Lake Turkana, one of the windiest places on Earth. The $819-million project aims to produce 300 megawatts (MW) of electricity per year, boosting Kenya's energy supply by 30 percent.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~4/-d_ECYYXL2I" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bucking long-stalled efforts in the US to combat global climate change, California has approved final rules for a cap-and-trade program set to go into effect in 2013. The program will require large polluters in California to reduce emissions or to 'trade' emissions on the carbon market with another company or initiative that is sequestering carbon. The rules even allow companies outside the state to participate, creating clean energy incentives across the US. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[New Zealand is looking to exclude the use of U.N. offsets from industrial gas projects in its emissions trading scheme from as soon as 2012, as these offsets threaten to distort the market, the government said on Friday.
            
            Climate change minister Nick Smith said he wanted to maintain the integrity of the emissions trading scheme, which is why the government is considering banning offsets from the potent greenhouse gas hydrofluorocarbon-23 (HFC-23) and nitrous oxide credits.
            
            "The high value for destroying these gases creates perverse incentives in developing countries to manufacture more of them bringing into question the environmental gains," Smith said in a statement.
            
            The New Zealand scheme allows polluters and traders to import U.N. offsets called Certified Emission Reductions from clean energy projects in poorer nations. The CERs can help polluters meet their emissions reduction obligations.
            
            But about two-thirds of the nearly 745 million CERs issued to date have come from projects that destroy HFC-23 and nitrous oxide, leading to criticism that the owners of these projects, mainly in China and India, are enjoying massive windfall profits.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~4/K4P2DkEeiqg" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I called my friend, clean energy finance expert Bill Paul for some advice the other day. "I have a client with a breakthrough in battery chemistry, and I’m trying to find them a manufacturing partner in the electric vehicles space. Where do you think I should look?" I asked.  By the word where, what I meant was at what companies? But what I got from Bill was this: "My first suggestion is that you forget everyone and everything in the United States." He went on, "There’s no money here. More correctly, there’s plenty of money, but it’s not moving. It’s sitting on the sidelines — two trillion dollars of it. Check out Europe. They have their own issues, of course, but at least they’re making investments, and not just sitting around watching the rest of the world fly past them."<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~4/R7_hZyRAtAk" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<table align="left"><tr><td><img src="http://photos.mongabay.com/j/movingplanet.paris.150.jpg" align="left"/></td></tr></table>On six continents, in over 75 percent of the world's countries, people came out en masse yesterday to attend over 2,000 events to demonstrate the power of renewable energy to combat global climate change. As apart of the 'Moving Planet' campaign organized by 350.org, activists created a giant human-windmill in Paris, gave out bike lessons in Buenos Aires, practiced evacuation measure in the Pacific island of Tuvalu imperiled by rising sea levels, and marched in Cape Town for a strong agreement at the next UN climate meeting hosted in Durban, South Africa. ]]></content:encoded>
