Renewables: Australia's a land of plenty...

 

" “There has never been a scientific question as to whether renewable energy could provide 100 per cent of Australia's energy needs,” said Mr Want, who is also chief executive of energy developer Vast Solar.

 

“The question is whether we as a society and as a nation see value in harnessing that resource — for domestic use and for export — and whether we are prepared to demand of our leaders that they design policies to achieve those ends.” "

Carbon calculators as a tool for a low-carbon everyday life?

Carbon calculators as a tool for a low-carbon everyday life? | Sustain Our Earth | Scoop.it

The number of Internet-based carbon calculators that estimate personal carbon footprints has been growing in recent years.

This article, from Kirsten Gram-Hanssen & Toke Haunstrup Christensen of the Danish Building Research Institute, discusses the roles that these calculators can play in changing everyday practices and how users evaluate them. The study builds on results from a questionnaire survey and focus groups with users of a Danish Internet-based carbon calculator developed in 2009, the year of the Climate Summit in Copenhagen, when climate change was prominent on the political agenda.
