Schroedinger's COP

by Nick Bellorini 18. December 2009 10:52
It’s started to snow on the sorry rainbow nation of ‘NGO’s without badges’, as they shuffle slowly toward their 8 hour-distant goal of registration as ‘Observers’ to the 15th Conference of the Parties. The Danish army are busily handing out a very welcome  ... [More]

Pastries for the Planet

by Claire Lamont 10. December 2009 08:53
A few Earthscanners have headed to the COP in Copenhagen today, and more will be following in the next few days.

For every complex problem, there is a simple solution – but it’s wrong

by EdwardMilford 13. October 2009 02:50
Eskom dominates the energy scene in South Africa.  As the incumbent utility, it owns over 40GW of generating capacity, almost all of it coal-fired, making it on its own reckoning one of the top 10 utilities in the world. It also had the decency to be the major sponsor of the ISES Solar World ... [More]

Passion helps

by EdwardMilford 12. October 2009 02:48

Energy from the Desert

by EdwardMilford 17. September 2009 07:18
I was very interested to read a recent report in the New York Times about a plan for First Solar to build a 2 GW PV plant in the Mongolian desert. This would complete a remarkable transition for the PV industry, and one that a series of books we have published may have contributed to in a small wa... [More]
