It covers examples of which local governments are doing best on energy efficiency and renewables, and makes some recommendations.]]> http://climateanswers.info/2010/11/repowering-communities-local-solutions-to-a-global-problem/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2010/09/comment-27-september-green-ed-miliband/ http://climateanswers.info/2010/09/comment-27-september-green-ed-miliband/#comments Mon, 27 Sep 2010 13:38:08 +0000 Stephen Tindale http://climateanswers.info/?p=4314 http://climateanswers.info/2010/09/comment-27-september-green-ed-miliband/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2010/08/repowering-communities-upper-austria-case-study/ http://climateanswers.info/2010/08/repowering-communities-upper-austria-case-study/#comments Sat, 21 Aug 2010 08:40:58 +0000 Stephen Tindale http://climateanswers.info/?p=4176 Austrian regions (Länder) play a significant role in energy, particularly regarding building efficiency and heating, including district heating. Upper Austria is one of nine regions, covering 12,000km2, with 1.4 million inhabitants. It is highly industrialised, with significant heavy industry (manufacture of steel and machinery). This article is about how Upper Austria manages to get a third of its total energy use, and almost half its heat, from renewables. ]]> http://climateanswers.info/2010/08/repowering-communities-upper-austria-case-study/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2010/06/moving-at-an-accelerated-pace-in-the-usa/ http://climateanswers.info/2010/06/moving-at-an-accelerated-pace-in-the-usa/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:04:04 +0000 Peter Meyer http://climateanswers.info/?p=3650 What is a pace? The length of a stride? The speed of activity? The pace that is attracting the most attention in the US in 2010 is Property-Assessed Clean Energy.

About three quarters of all households use the sun to heat water, using a technology called solar thermal. And Israeli firms are widely recognised as technological leaders in the field of solar electricity.]]> http://climateanswers.info/2009/05/the-power-of-israeli-sunshine/feed/ 0
