Public Prediction: Green energy initiatives to reduce carbon emissions?

By NS Admin Published 04 October 2010

On the contrary, few industry experts believe that most of the energy reform programs are not successful in the recent times and argue that such initiatives will hamper certain businesses commercially with out significant long-term gain.

The Chinese government plans to invest RMB100 billion in the next 10 years to support the development of clean energy technologies and the new energy automobile industry, with a focus on providing support for the developers of core components, parts and new materials for use in the clean energy industries.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said: “In May 2010 I called for real action to make us the greenest government ever. I made a commitment that over the next 12 months, central government departments would reduce their carbon emissions by 10%.

“We have made a start but clearly we can all do much more to show leadership on this vital issue. So today is a clear challenge to cabinet ministers and an opportunity for the public to hold us to account.”

The US Department of Energy has signed final cooperative agreements with the FutureGen Industrial Alliance and Ameren Energy Resources that formally commit $1 billion in Recovery Act funding to build FutureGen 2.0. The FutureGen 2.0 project will help to position the US as a leader in innovative technologies for reducing carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants.

By working closely with private industry, governments and consumers the Energy Star, a government-backed program, was established to identify energy efficient products and reduce carbon emissions.

Developing nations like China and India have already invested hugely in solar and wind power projects in the recent times considering future energy needs.

Prediction detail:

Energy produced from renewable resources is pollution free.
The UK goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050.
Water, wind and solar energy are big sources of green energy.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are the most important cause of global warming.
Betting closes on December 31, 2010.

I believe that the green and renewable energy businesses/entire campaign to go green and conserve is VERY effective, but its in such a small range. If we want to make a bigger difference with it all it needs more federal and national funding, for those that can't afford it but use a great deal of electricity.

I'm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which too few people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this during my hunt for something concerning this.

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

I think everything wrote was actually very reasonable.
However, consider this, suppose you were to create a awesome headline?
I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a headline that grabbed a person's attention? I mean New Statesman - Public Prediction: Green energy initiatives to reduce carbon emissions? is kinda plain. You might glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create news headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about what you've written. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
