| Millions for marsh project questioned. Officials are proposing a trophy project that, along with eight smaller ones, would compensate for environmental “injuries” from an oil spill four years ago. But the cost - $18.5 million - makes even the river’s most ardent supporters suck in their breath. |
| Electricity systems can cope with large-scale wind power Research by TU Delft proves that Dutch power stations are able to cope at any time in the future with variations in demand for electricity and supply of wind power, as long as use is made of up-to-date wind forecasts. PhD candidate Bart Ummels also demonstrates that there is no need for energy storage facilities. Ummels will receive his PhD on this topic on Thursday 26 February. |
| Germany says green jobs will shorten recession. Strong growth in Germany’s renewable energy sector along with increased state spending for environment protection could help shorten the country’s worst post-war recession, the government said on Tuesday. |
