season. A record 43 climate-related shareholder resolutions were filed with US companies this year, of which 15 led to positive actions by businesses such as ConocoPhillips, Wells Fargo and Hartford Insurance. Shareholders withdrew their resolutions after the companies made their climate-related commitments.
Remaining resolutions that went to a vote received record high average voting support of 21.6 percent, including 39.5 percent support for a resolution filed with Allegheny Energy, the highest vote ever on a global warming shareholder resolution.
The ’07 proxy season also was marked by the first-ever filing of seven resolutions requesting that companies, including Exxon Mobil, set specific greenhouse gas reduction targets from their operations and products. These resolutions also received strong support, including 31.1 percent

THE CHEAPEST LIQUID IN THE FILLING STATION IS STILL PETROL In this second extract from " Zoom ", their forthcoming book about the next revolution in cars
...
and fuel, Iain Carson and Vijay Vaitheeswaran look at the hidden subsidies which keep American petrol prices down, and crowd out cleaner fuels... Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE Americans are forever complaining about gasoline prices at the pump—especially in summer, as consumers get ready for what market analysts call the "driving season" leading up to Labor Day. But despite the perpetual moaning, gasoline is hardly over-priced. Adjust for inflation, and it turns out that Americans were paying as much or more for it a few decades ago. The 30-cents-a-gallon price that old-timers recall from the 1960s is, in today's prices, really about $2 a gallon. The $1.25-a-gallon price that more people remember from the 1980s translates in today's money to about $2.50 a gallon. In fact, gasoline is a bargain at today's prices. If you don't believ

Briefing Note Jan 2007 1. What is it and how does it work? The principle behind carbon offsetting is that the carbon emissions 1 generated through an activity
...
(such as driving or flying) are calculated and someone is then paid for an initiative that reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by an equivalent amount. Initiatives that can generate carbon offsets include energy efficiency projects (e.g. installing energy saving technologies in housing developments), renewable energy schemes (e.g. wind farms) or tree-planting schemes which can take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Often these schemes are in developing countries. 2. What does Friends of the Earth think about carbon offsetting? Friends of the Earth does not recommend carbon offsetting for a number of reasons. Carbon offsetting is being promoted as a relatively pain-free way of tackling climate change. A growing number of schemes now exist which claim that carbon-conscious individuals and businesses can compensate for the

IRVINE, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (Nasdaq: QTWW ) today announced that it has been
...
awarded a contract from Shell Hydrogen LLC for a modular hydrogen refueling station. The unit will be sited by Shell Hydrogen at a yet to be determined location within the United States. Quantum will supply one of its modular, portable, and transportable hydrogen refueling stations together with a hydrogen storage cascade. The system incorporates an oil-free gas compression system to deliver hydrogen at high-pressure from the storage cascade. This refueling appliance will provide both 35 MPa (5,000 psi) and 70 MPa (10,000 psi) fill capabilities. "Quantum's hydrogen refueling stations, integral elements of our alternative energy product portfolio, are cost-effective, just-in-time modular solutions to deliver hydrogen to hydrogen powered vehicles as their demand continues to grow around the world. We are pleased to support Shell Hydrogen i

The US space agency is set to launch a satellite that can map in detail where carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere. Nasa's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO)
...
will pinpoint the key locations on the Earth's surface where CO2 is being emitted and absorbed. CO2 from human activities is thought to be driving climate changes, but important facts about its movement through the atmosphere remain elusive. The agency believes the technology on OCO can end some of the mysteries. "This is Nasa's first spacecraft specifically dedicated to mapping carbon dioxide," principal investigator David Crisp told BBC News. "The objective of the OCO mission is to make measurements that are so precise that they can be used to look for surface 'sources' and 'sinks' of CO2." Dr Crisp has been presenting details of the mission here at the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) Fall Meeting. As he did so, OCO's launch on a Taurus XL rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California was booked for 23 February. Nasa alre
