MissingSky101

Published on 24 Jun 2013

A world-renowned energy expert, Amory Lovins, visits the forefront of Japan’s energy shift to propose ways for its energy future. Lovins has been studying and visiting Japan since 1960s as he embarked on his profession. Lovins’ message: Japan can lead the world in energy shift, if Japan realizes its potential for more energy efficiency and utilize its abundant renewable energy.
Since the 3.11, Japan’s energy strategy is being re-examined. How can Japan harness its renewable energy to create a stable power supply while maintaining economic growth?
In the concluding segment, Lovins shares his thoughts on why Japan can achieve its energy shift.

Doctors urge province to ramp-up renewable energy

Solar and wind generation do not contribute to climate change, respiratory illness, brain damage or cancer.

The Ontario government’s recent announcement that it will add 900 megawatts of new renewable energy to the provincial grid is welcome news indeed. Projected to come online starting in 2014, the new electricity will be sufficient to power over 125,000 homes every year and create over 6,000 jobs. It shows Queen’s Park is committed to building up renewables and is to be applauded.
But if the government really wants to develop this sector in the long-run — and the health of every Ontarian depends on it — it must also boost the renewable targets contained in itsLong-Term Energy Plan. That document — released in 2010 and currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Energy — says by 2030 wind power will supply just 10 per cent of electricity generation and solar will provide a measly 1.5 per cent. Nearly half the grid will be hogged by nuclear — effectively blocking renewables’ expansion.

Mapping the Renewable Energy Revolution

Pakistan encapsulates the renewable energy challenge faced by many developing and emerging countries. Despite abundant renewable resources — including solar, wind, hydropower and biomass — very little of this potential has been utilized. At the same time, about a third of the country’s people do not have access to electricity.
