	Energy development : ICT [2007/07/27]
		Perhaps the biggest news going into the conference, according to a prominent Indian energy professional that would not be identified in print, is that tribes haven't made more attempts to enter the lucrative energy production market.
		He added that in the past several decades, the energy extracted from tribal lands has amounted to $10 billion worth of coal, $15.3 billion of oil, $7.96 billion of natural gas (all by 2001 prices).
		With a federal government concerned with the security of its energy imports, then the fossil and renewable energy resources located on tribal lands represents a significant contribution to the energy security and independence of the United States.

	$510 Million Facility to Promote Renewable Energy Development in Pakistan
		The program is the first of its kind in Pakistan and also one of the first to be developed under ADB's evolving clean energy and efficiency initiative, through which ADB is planning to expand energy efficiency operations in its developing member countries to $1 billion per year.
		Pakistan's energy supplies are highly dependent on oil imports, the cost of which accounts for a large share of the country's total import bill.
		The Alternative Energy Development Board is the executing agency for the program at the federal level, while at the provincial government level, the program will be executed via special purpose implementing agencies such Irrigation and Power Departments.

	Energy Development
		The federal government has moved fast to meet this increased demand for the development of public land and is doing so at an unprecedented rate, often without taking the necessary precautions to meet the needs of fish and wildlife populations.
		Unfortunately, many of these locations that are being pressured for oil and gas development also hold some of the nation’s best hunting for mule deer, elk, pronghorn, sage grouse, and prairie chickens, plus blue-ribbon fishing for cutthroat, rainbow, and brown trout.
		Hastily developed energy projects in states such as Colorado and Wyoming have shown that oil and gas extraction can have drastic effects on fish and game populations if the needs of wildlife aren’t studied and met before, during, and after the development process.

	Economic leaders endorse nuclear energy development - The Boston Globe
		Defending the statement, Russian Energy and Industry Minster Viktor Khristenko said that the inclusion of a section on nuclear power was ``a significant event," giving countries the opportunity to work actively toward developing nuclear energy in the future, ``which we plan to do," he said.
		Energy security was a focal theme of this year's G-8 summit, after hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico drove global oil prices to new highs last year and Europe was caught short of gas after a price fight between Russia and Ukraine this winter disrupted supplies.
		On agriculture, the G8 statement said: ``We are equally committed to substantially reducing trade-distorting domestic support and to the parallel elimination by the end of 2013 of all forms of export subsidies.

	Energy Conservation and Renewables - Conservation Policies - Sierra Club
		The Club supports increased federal and state funding for research, development, and demonstration in solar energy applications, with emphasis placed on the development and deployment of decentralized systems for both heating and cooling and for generation of electrical power.
		The Sierra Club supports the construction and testing of a limited number of demonstration central station solar-electric power plants, providing that during the demonstration phase, the environmental, social, and economic impacts are completely evaluated and publicly presented by an independent body of panel not directly associated with the building of these plants.
		A national commitment to provide 25% of U.S. energy needs from solar energy by the year 2000 is a desirable and attainable objective, and specific policies and programs should be adopted to this end.

		The World Energy Efficiency Association (WEEA) was founded in June 1993 as a private, non-profit organization composed of developed and developing country institutions and individuals charged with increasing energy efficiency.
		In view of the complex nature of rural development, of which energy supply is but one component, efforts have been made to appreciate the nature of other problems which may be interlinked with the issue of renewable energy, particularly biomass energy which is the subject of this paper.
		The project's principal objectives will be to examine the technical and economic feasibility of the available alternative biomass energy generation technologies, their effect on the forest-management practices, and the social implications for this region.

	WIND ENERGY
		All the energy currently being produced from wind in the Palm Springs area is conducted via power lines to a local Southern California Edison Company substation where it is distributed throughout the electrical power grid to areas of electrical demand.
		Wind energy rentals on these right-of-way grants are based on a formula that effectively captures 3% of the anticipated revenue from wind energy sales.
		In addition to state requirements, the County has established county ordinances pertaining to wind energy development including requirements for facility set-backs from property lines and highways as well as areas zoned against wind energy development.

		As it states in the article, there are ways to lessen the impact and still develop the energy.
		The answers to both of those questions is close enough to "0" to warrant serious discussions around how these energy resources should be exploited, how the wildlife and habitat impact should be mitigated and who should receive the financial benefits from the royalties generated by the wells.
		We need to develop alternative sources now, however, instead of avoiding the problem until it persists to the point where it can no longer be ignored, but we'll probably learn the hard way as usual, if we learn at all.
