Fwd: EPA Must Fight Global Warming Pollution
by Paul Wilson 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I suppose that the case could be made that increasing transmission lines and the assoc. increase in coal fired power plants would fall under the EPA's venue to control Global Warming. paul ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patricia Matejcek <patachek(a)juno.com> Date: Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 12:17 AM Subject: EPA Must Fight Global Warming Pollution To: CONS-WPST-MARINE-FORUM(a)lists.sierraclub.org The impacts of climate change are becoming more visible with each passing month. America must take full responsibility for our contribution to global warming... and take real steps to reduce it. The Supreme Court has told the EPA that it can act to cut emissions that are responsible for global warming. It's time for the EPA to act now. Now is the time to join me and Earthjustice and let the EPA know that you support taking real, effective, and practical action to curb global warming.

The 210-page study [pdf] is one of few reports – even by lobby groups – to look in detail at how energy use would have to be overhauled to meet the toughest scenarios for curbing greenhouse gases outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. "Renewable energy could provide all global energy needs by 2090," according to the study, entitled "Energy (R)evolution." EREC represents renewable energy industries and trade and research associations in Europe. A more radical scenario could eliminate coal use by 2050 if new power generation plants shifted quickly to renewables. Solar power, biomass such as biofuels or wood, geothermal energy and wind could be the leading energies by 2090 in a shift from fossil fuels blamed by the IPCC for stoking global warming. The total energy investments until 2030, the main period studied, would come to $14.7 trillion, according to the study. By contrast, the International Energy Agency (IEA), which advises rich nations, foresees energy investments of just $11.3 trillion to 2030, with a bigger stress on fossil fuels and nuclear power. Rajendra Pachauri, head of the IPCC, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with ex-US Vice President Al Gore, called Monday's study "comprehensive and rigorous." Dangerous change "Even those who may not agree with the analysis presented would, perhaps, benefit from a deep study of the underlying assumptions," Pachauri wrote in a foreword to the report. EREC and Greenpeace said a big energy shift was needed to avoid "dangerous" climate change, defined by the European Union and many environmental groups as a temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius since before the Industrial Revolution. The report urged measures such as a phase-out of subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy, "cap and trade" systems for greenhouse gas emissions, legally binging targets for renewable energies and tough efficiency standards for buildings and vehicles. The report said renewable energy markets were booming with turnover almost doubling in 2007 from 2006 to more than $70 billion. It said renewables could more than double their share of world energy supplies to 30% by 2030 and reach 50% by 2050. The projections are far more optimistic for renewables than the IEA, which foresees just 13% of energy from renewables in 2030 with fossil fuels staying dominant. Sven Teske, Greenpeace's leading author of the report, said the recommendations would involve big job-creating investments that could help counter the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. "The current unstable market situation is a strong argument for our energy evolution concept," said. He said investments would be repaid by savings in fuel costs. "We had a 'dot.com bubble' and a 'finance bubble' - but I'm confident that we will not have a renewables bubble - as the need for energy is real - and growing especially in developing nations," he said. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe from the CONS-SPST-GLOBALWARM-CHAIRS list, send any message to: CONS-SPST-GLOBALWARM-CHAIRS-signoff-request(a)LISTS.SIERRACLUB.ORG Check out our Listserv Lists support site for more information: http://www.sierraclub.org/lists/faq.asp

Fwd: Fw: VA Climate Change Opinion Survey attached
by James Kotcon 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

You might appreciate the attached survey results from Virginia. It is always helpful to know how much support there is for various options, if for no other reason than to help frame your message. JBK >>> <Paula.Carrell(a)sierraclub.org> 10/23/2008 12:24 PM >>> thought you might like to know about this ----- Forwarded by Paula Carrell/Sierraclub on 10/23/2008 09:23 AM ----- "Glen Besa" <glen.besa(a)sierraclub.org> 10/22/2008 01:49 PM VA Opinion Survey Attached Poll: Majority of Virginians worried about climate change By Scott Harper The Virginian-Pilot © October 22, 2008 Three out of four Virginians think global warming is real and most want government at all levels - federal, state and local - to take actions to fight it, according to a statewide opinion poll released Tuesday. Authors described the poll of 660 state residents as one of the first and most comprehensive snapshots of how Virginians of all ages, backgrounds and political sympathies feel about one of the great environmental issues of the era. The Virginia Climate Survey was conducted by phone interviews between Sept. 4 and 24 and was financed with grants from private foundations and donors through the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. It has a margin of error of 4 percentage points. Among its findings, 39 percent of respondents think human activity spurs climate change by the burning of fossil fuels, 20 percent think the Earth is simply going through a natural warming cycle, and another 30 percent say a combination of natural and man-made causes are to blame. Among believers, 61 percent think global warming is a "very serious" problem, and 72 percent want government to "take immediate action." The most popular policy option, according to the poll, is requiring power companies to generate electricity with a prescribed percentage of renewable energies, such as wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. Increased gasoline taxes and a carbon tax finished last on a list of 15 options offered to survey participants. Nuclear energy was fairly popular as an alternative source, with 30 percent "strongly supporting" its expansion in Virginia and 14 percent "strongly opposing" it. Virginia Dominion Power, the state's largest electric utility, is seeking government approval to build at least one new nuclear reactor at its Lake Anna power station northwest of Richmond. Barry Rabe, a visiting scholar at the Miller Center, who helped to oversee the poll, said the results "roughly mirror" those seen nationally. For example, 75 percent of Virginians think global warming is occurring; nationwide, 71 percent think so. Similarly, 13 percent of state residents don't think global warming is really happening; 21 percent nationally feel the same way. During a presentation of the findings Tuesday, Rabe said he was especially struck by the "across-the-board" belief that all levels of government are responsible for fixing the problem. The poll comes as the governor's Commission on Climate Change winds down its yearlong study of how best to reach a key goal established by Gov. Timothy M. Kaine's administration - reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2025. Secretary of Natural Resources L. Preston Bryant Jr. said the poll should provide political cover in the state General Assembly, where any Virginia-specific global-warming programs would need to be approved. Showing such widespread support for government action to reluctant state delegates and senators, Bryant said, "hopefully will mean something, that so many Virginians believe this is real and important." The co-author of the poll, Christopher Borick, director of the Institute of Public Opinion at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa., said one key question asked of Virginians is why they believe or don't believe in global warming. The No. 1 response among believers is personal experience - "they felt, personally, that things were warmer," Borick said. The second-most popular was evidence that glaciers and polar ice are melting. One percent said they were convinced by former Vice President Al Gore's award-winning documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." The top reason offered by skeptics is that natural patterns sufficiently explain any fluctuation in temperatures. Twelve percent gave no reason, and 5 percent said the media is misleading the public about the issue.

PJM, the organization responsible for the transmission grid covering 13 states and the District of Columbia, directed the construction of PATH to ensure the reliability of the region’s transmission grid. The original project configuration included a 765-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Amos substation near St. Albans, W.Va., to the Bedington substation near Martinsburg, W.Va., and twin-circuit 500-kV lines from Bedington to the proposed Kemptown substation southeast of Frederick, Md. The reconfiguration is a result of constraints identified as a result of comprehensive siting studies; interaction with government agencies; public input; and a desire to identify a solution that reduces line mileage and minimizes the impact on communities and the environment. The new configuration will: Consist of a single 765-kV line from Amos to Kemptown, Eliminate the connection with the Bedington substation and the twin-circuit 500-kV lines from Bedington to Kemptown, including many previously evaluated routes in that area, and Include a new mid-point substation in the vicinity of eastern Grant County, northern Hardy County, or southern Hampshire County, near existing PATH alternative routes. The substation site has not been determined. Based on the re-configured project, the PATH team is developing new route alternatives between the mid-point substation area and Kemptown. PATH continues to work toward identifying the complete line route and expects to file applications for approval by state regulatory commissions during the first quarter 2009. Additional open houses will be scheduled in areas where the new alternatives are identified. PJM recently confirmed that the reconfigured project addresses its reliability concerns.
