Wind energy involves converting the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy using wind turbines to generate electricity. It has several benefits such as preserving water resources, being compatible with other land uses, and providing economic benefits without producing harmful emissions or waste. There are two types of wind farms - on shore and off shore - but both have some negative views involving visual or noise impacts for on shore farms and potential environmental disruptions for off shore farms. Canada has over 90 existing wind farms producing over 2,369 MW of energy, powering the equivalent of 680,000 homes, with Ontario leading the country in wind energy capacity and farms.
Blended finance model dec 2015
The document discusses sustainable development and financing renewable energy projects. It describes how many parts of the world have experienced economic growth but at the cost of environmental balance due to overusing fossil fuels. The COP21 objective is to limit global warming by switching energy sources from fossil fuels to renewables like solar power. As an example, the document summarizes the installation of Rwanda's first utility-scale solar field in 2015 that boosted grid capacity by 6% and will produce 8.5 MW of power. The $23.7 million project was completed in 12 months using a "blended finance" model with public and private funding.
Presentation Investors_Summary
This document discusses plans for increasing solar and gas energy markets in Sub-Saharan Africa. It proposes that Africa needs sustainable electrical power to grow independently, and that solar power should be prioritized over gas, oil, coal, or nuclear power. The organization Sun Earth Energy aims to generate 60,000 MW of solar and alternative energy like geothermal, osmotic, and wave power within 10 years. Gas would serve as a temporary measure to power industry and export markets to fund more solar, with revenues benefiting local communities. Support is sought for this vision to solve Africa's electricity problems through decentralized solar power.
Alternative Energy Primer
The document provides an overview of alternative energy. It defines alternative energy as coming from sources that do not deplete natural resources or harm the environment. It discusses why alternative energy is important today due to issues like climate change from CO2 emissions and peak oil. The document then covers various alternative energy technologies like wind and solar power, how they work, and what is holding further development back. It encourages readers to learn more and get involved to help transition to more sustainable energy sources.
Energy Into Action Keynote: Tom Rand
The document discusses conservation and demand management (CDM) as a way to generate value today and enable a low-carbon economy tomorrow. It notes that CDM can provide a 1/3 reduction in carbon emissions, serve as the backbone for a smart grid, and increase profits. CDM involves increasing energy efficiency, reducing peak demand, enabling demand response, and producing local energy through strategies like solar PV installation. When implemented for a building, CDM measures can reduce energy usage by 75% and pay for themselves in 6.5 years, generating cash flow from day one.
Have You Turns Your Lights Off Today?
This document discusses Earth Hour, an annual event where people and organizations turn off lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change. It notes that over a billion people in 150 countries participated last year, reducing Sydney, Australia's energy use by 10%. While Earth Hour takes place for just one hour, the document encourages conserving energy in small daily habits as well, as only 66% of American workers currently turn off lights when leaving a room. It concludes by urging readers to turn off lights, electronics, and other appliances when not in use to help address global warming.

Mark Colton Fossil Fuels
Global warming is a serious issue caused by the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. While fossil fuel companies are often blamed, consumers are also responsible for emissions through activities like driving, flying and heating homes. Most fossil fuel reserves will need to stay in the ground to avoid catastrophic climate change. This has raised ethical issues around continued investment in these "stranded assets" that cannot be burned. Meanwhile, renewable technologies like solar energy are improving and may eventually provide alternatives to meet energy needs without the same carbon emissions. Some investors are shifting funds away from fossil fuels towards these cleaner energy solutions.
Sn Climate Equity Sa Media Aug 09
Climate change poses urgent challenges that require global cooperation and drastic action. The impacts of climate change like extreme weather events are already being felt around the world. However, countries have made little progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions despite decades of climate negotiations. Developed nations need to make deeper cuts in emissions while providing funding and technologies to help developing countries transition to low-carbon economies. Equity is needed to share the remaining carbon budget fairly and ensure the poor can still develop. Major changes are required across energy, transport, land use and forestry to reinvent economic growth sustainably.

Earth Hour is an annual event where individuals, communities, and businesses show their commitment to the environment by turning off non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour. The event began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia and has grown globally to involve over 800 cities across 78 countries. In 2009, Earth Hour aims to have 1 billion participants express support for urgent action on climate change ahead of a key international climate conference. Malaysians are encouraged to participate on March 28th by turning off lights from 8:30-9:30pm in cities like Kuala Lumpur and Penang and at landmarks including KL Tower. Individuals are urged to reduce their environmental footprint through small actions both during Earth Hour and in daily life.
Global warming
Scientists discovered in the 1980s that the average global temperature was rising, a trend known as global warming. This is caused by more heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. If unchecked, global warming will have severe consequences like rising sea levels from melting ice caps that could flood coastal cities, more frequent extreme weather events and wildfires, and over a million species becoming extinct by 2050. While reducing emissions is challenging, solutions exist like using more renewable energy, hybrid vehicles, and international agreements for countries to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
