FPL Group pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions

The Juno Beach, Florida-based parent of utility Florida Power & Light said that under an "industry partnership" with the federal Environmental Protection Agency it will voluntarily reduce its greenhouse gas emissions rate by 18 percent by the end of 2008. Last week 12 U.S. states, including New York and California but not Florida, filed a lawsuit against the EPA petitioning them to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. |

Global Warming: the Quadrillion Dollar Question
Eighteen quadrillion dollars is almost 600 times the 2002 world gross domestic product, estimated by the World Bank at $32 trillion. If you glued 18 quadrillion dollar bills end to end, they would stretch way past Pluto. Luckily, most estimates of the costs of curbing global warming by the U.N.`s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) run to just hundreds of trillions of dollars over 100 years - a relative pin prick for a growing world economy. But the costs of cleaning up human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide produced by factories and cars, and of shifting toward cleaner energies such as solar or wind power, are starting to give governments nightmares. "The long-term costs could be enormous," said Andrei Illarionov, an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin who has backed away from previous promises to quickly ratify the U.N.`s Kyoto Protocol on curbing global warming. |
