...come nowhere close to allaying the world's burgeoning production of garbage. Now Britain's Isle of Wight is presenting what proponents hope will be a parade example of how to deal with the megatons of waste that can't be reclaimed. This summer, a $16 million, 2.3MW gasification plant - the first in Britain and one of only a few in the world - will fire into action, turning 30,000 tons of rubbish a year into electricity for 2,000 homes...
Last summer Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, Mass., became the first ski area to install its own wind turbine; nearly half the resort's energy needs are provided by the 1.5-MW tower. Producing its own energy also allows the resort to shield guests from higher room rates caused by rising electricity prices. At Vermont's Killington Resorts, the diesel-powered snowmaking compressors are being replaced with low-emission machines, which should reduce emissions 50% next year. Buck Hill Ski Area in Burnsville, Minn., buys enough wind power to run 85% of its operations. And Mammoth Mountain in California...
...landfill gas plant will initially produce about 1 MW of power, starting in 2008, with a maximum capacity of some 10 MW - enough to deliver electricity to around 700 Bali households. Those numbers might seem small, and while the Suwung project is a nice start, that modest scale is part of the problem. CDM projects are one of the most promising ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries - all the more important, given that most of the increase in carbon dioxide in the near future will come from outside the developed world. But while funders are flocking...

It was off-Broadway and it got slammed. A friend brought it to me and was like...
...Most Nigerians have the impression that very little has been achieved in recent years. These things take time. The government has signed a contract with the Chinese to generate 2,000 MW of hydroelectric power from the Mambila Plateau worth $1.5 billion, which will take four years to complete. Contracts such as this are being signed in virtually all key sectors of the economy. These achievements are phenomenal. With patience, we will all get there...
