They all recognise the energy security and employment benefits. This article includes quotations from the relevant parts of the manifestos of the three main parties on heat and electricity - energy efficiency, fuel poverty and energy production.]]> http://climateanswers.info/2010/04/2010-manifestos-of-conservatives-labour-liberal-democrats-and-greens-on-electricity-and-heat/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2010/04/editorial-1-april-2010-poland-and-ccs/ http://climateanswers.info/2010/04/editorial-1-april-2010-poland-and-ccs/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2010 14:49:00 +0000 Stephen Tindale http://climateanswers.info/?p=3378 http://climateanswers.info/2010/04/editorial-1-april-2010-poland-and-ccs/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/editorial-1-march-2010-what-the-eu-should-do-about-ccs/ http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/editorial-1-march-2010-what-the-eu-should-do-about-ccs/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:53:29 +0000 Stephen Tindale http://climateanswers.info/?p=3249 http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/editorial-1-march-2010-what-the-eu-should-do-about-ccs/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/ccs-what-the-eu-needs-to-do-part-1/ http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/ccs-what-the-eu-needs-to-do-part-1/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:16:12 +0000 Stephen Tindale with Simon Tilford http://climateanswers.info/?p=3198 Coal will be the biggest single source of electricity for decades to come. Yet the EU is doing far too little to encourage the take-up of carbon capture and storage, a technology which could make coal a low-carbon fuel. This failure threatens not only Europe’s leadership of global climate change policy but also its ability to profit from the emergence of a huge global market for equipment and expertise. Stephen Tindale and Simon Tilford argue that more public money is needed for the construction of demonstration projects, while regulation and strong market signals will be required to ensure mass deployment of the technology.]]> http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/ccs-what-the-eu-needs-to-do-part-1/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/ccs-what-the-eu-needs-to-do-part-2/ http://climateanswers.info/2010/03/ccs-what-the-eu-needs-to-do-part-2/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:15:21 +0000 Stephen Tindale with Simon Tilford http://climateanswers.info/?p=3220 Coal will be the biggest single source of electricity for decades to come.
