What’s in the wind?

Or the sun for that matter. Australia’s Government is still in a state of flux, though it is looking increasingly likely that the Labor Party’s deal with the Greens will be enough to enable it to form Government, with a little help from at least two independents. Hopefully it will mean a carbon price will come sooner than later. Lord Nicholas Stern was in Australia saying, among other things, how economically important such a move would be.  We look at what’s not happening to make our coal fired power stations cleaner, as well as hear what the Clean Energy Council and the Green Building Council have to say. Russia is starting to address its emissions, Argentina has an algae solution for bio fuel and Canada is turning to waste to energy. What’s the deal for the UNFCCC, with or without Rajendra Pachauri? The Asia Development Bank is banking on Clean Energy Bonds and the Victorian Government gets a Green Star. Holden makes a green car move and, believe it or not, skeptics are for turning! Look out for Sustain Ability Showcase Asia, Climate Alliance Australia & Earth Charter Festival.  Environmental leadership is coming to business, with a little help from friends and the Environmental Defense Fund. – Ken Hickson
