This document summarizes a presentation on electricity markets and externalities given in Singapore. It discusses how perfect electricity markets do not actually exist due to issues like externalities and market power. Examples of negative externalities from electricity generation are provided, such as health impacts, environmental damage, and economic impacts. The document then ranks different electricity technologies based on their full social costs when both private costs and externalities are included. The technologies with the lowest costs are found to be renewable options like wind and solar, while coal and natural gas have much higher overall costs once externalities are considered. The implications discussed are that externalities need to be internalized into electricity prices and that subsidies should be removed to allow low-cost clean technologies to compete.
This document summarizes the activities from a Rotary Club of Freshwater Bay meeting, including:
1) A presentation was given by Professor Ray Wills on sustainable energy and renewable sources like solar, wind, and tidal power.

BlocPower aims to provide no-money-down solar and energy efficiency solutions to underserved communities through innovative financing and partnerships. They will aggregate groups of property owners to access capital and complete installations, saving customers money while hiring local residents. If successful, BlocPower could help reduce energy costs and carbon emissions in low-income areas while creating jobs and economic opportunity.
The document discusses different types of innovation and factors that drive revolutionary innovation. It contrasts revolutionary innovators, who focus on why, how and what of innovation and create new platforms and ecosystems, with utility innovators who focus on refining existing products and services. Five "revolution factors" are identified that enable revolutionary innovation: platforms with dependent ecosystems, social aspects, mashups, economic tricks, and feel-good factors. Revolutionary innovators change the game, while utility innovators focus on basics.

The document summarizes the key findings and recommendations from The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) study regarding the economic value of biodiversity and ecosystem services. It outlines that TEEB was an international initiative to draw attention to the global economic benefits of biodiversity and the associated costs of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. The document reviews TEEB's assessment that biodiversity and ecosystems provide services worth trillions of dollars globally and that their loss imposes significant economic costs. It also discusses the dependence of human livelihoods and businesses on ecosystem services and makes recommendations for businesses to measure, value and reduce their biodiversity footprint through ambitious conservation targets and sustainable sourcing practices.
The document discusses renewable energy promotion and training through small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in rural India. It outlines India's fossil fuel reserves and production, current energy distribution and power generation. India has a total renewable energy capacity of 26.9 GW as of 2012, with an annual growth rate of 18%. SMEs can play a key role in promoting renewable energy in rural India by setting up small projects. However, there are also challenges for SMEs including lack of financing, technical know-how and policies supportive of decentralized renewable energy.

This appears to be song lyrics discussing a volatile relationship where one person's mood and feelings change frequently. Some key points mentioned are: how the person changes their mind and acts differently, comparing them to being bipolar or having PMS; they used to be in sync but now their energy levels are mismatched; and the speaker feels stuck in the ups and downs of the relationship like a rollercoaster ride. The chorus reiterates that the person is sometimes hot and cold in their behavior and emotions.

This document discusses various methods of assessment used by librarians, including pre- and post-tests, citation analysis, and search strategy analysis. It also discusses the benefits and concerns of using rubrics as a summative assessment tool. Specifically, rubrics provide consistent grading, help students understand expectations, and force instructors to articulate goals, but can also be time-consuming to create and difficult to score along a continuum if criteria are bundled together. The document presents a sample rubric used by Rosenblatt to grade students' use of sources and provides resources for finding additional rubric examples.

This document discusses renewable energy options in Africa to help reduce poverty and adapt to climate change. It notes that renewable technologies can provide more energy choices for African countries and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but that renewables do not always provide reliable energy access due to uneven distribution of resources and underdeveloped energy infrastructure. The article highlights examples of renewable energy projects in Malawi that provide alternative livelihoods for young people and promote reforestation, helping address deforestation. It concludes that Africa needs policies and funding to scale up successful small renewable projects to transform energy access for millions.

This document discusses the risks of climate change and outlines steps for engaging stakeholders to address it. It finds that insurance losses from extreme weather will rise significantly by 2040-2060 without action. Adaptation is needed across housing, infrastructure, and workforce training. Surveys show people most concerned with flooding and support measures to manage risk. Insurers are well-placed to advise on protection and new climate-friendly products. The document calls for insurers to lead risk analysis, inform policymaking, support public awareness, and reduce their own environmental impact to help tackle climate change.
The Potential of Renewable Energies for Socio-Economic Development in Zambia QZ1
1) Renewable energies like hydropower, biofuels, solar and wind have potential to drive socio-economic development in Zambia but are currently underutilized.
2) Major opportunities include producing biofuels from feedstocks like jatropha, molasses, and palm oil, as well as co-generating electricity from sugarcane bagasse in sugar factories.
3) For renewable energies to be economically viable will require policies like mandatory blending, guaranteed cost-reflective prices for biofuels, and power purchase agreements with standard tariffs for independent power producers.
This document discusses waste management strategies in Ghana and opportunities for biofuel production from municipal solid waste. It notes that Ghana currently recycles only 12% of its waste and dumps 88%. Two key projects are highlighted: 1) A Zoomlion/KNUST/DTU biofuel research project that converts waste to biogas and bioethanol. 2) An Accra compost plant project managed by Zoomlion to produce compost from organic waste. The document advocates for more investment in appropriate technologies, capacity building, and public-private partnerships to improve Ghana's waste management and biofuel potential from municipal solid waste.

Exciting times for business: the value of farm carbon footprinting up the sup...Farming Futures
This document discusses why an individual's carbon footprint matters. It notes that consumers are increasingly concerned about sustainability and the environment. Many companies are taking steps to reduce their carbon emissions in response to this consumer demand. Reducing carbon footprints also makes financial sense as farmers with lower emissions have lower costs of production. The entire supply chain from farm to consumer must work together to lower carbon footprints in order to remain competitive and defend against potential criticism of their environmental impacts.
