#Why Scientists Are concerned About Tree-Burning Power plants (Op-Ed) Sasha Lyutse is a policy analyst for the NRDC.
Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday 41 leading scientists sent a letter to the U s. Environmental protection agency (EPA) calling on the agency to protect U s. forests from the growing sucking sound created by biomass power plants.
As power plants look for alternatives to fossil fuels some are turning to burning wood or other plant materials known as biomass to generate electricity.
The biomass industry argues that because trees grow back biomass offers a carbon neutral form of energy.
Power plants account for 40 percent of the U s. carbon footprint. That makes EPA's effort to reduce carbon pollution from power plants a key part of the climate fighting initiatives of the administration of President Barack Obama
and ensuring that a rigorous accounting for biomass carbon emissions will be critical to the effort's integrity.
or otherwise convert them to electricity and to use the electricity and heat in the applications that most effectively reduce carbon emissions is for EPA to follow the science.
It's critical that EPA heeds the science community's call and follows through on the standard it set for itself in issuing rules for the bioenergy industry.
First he advocated building more fences around large reserves a suggestion that was met with some resistance by at least one ecologist at the conference who questioned Leakey after his talk about the fence's ability to stop elephants.

This move will save as much energy as three power plants generate and result in energy savings of about $1 billion a year for consumers.
and consume about half the electricity used by the U s. industrial sector. Over the next 30 years the motor standards alone will save enough electricity to power every home in the United states for a year and save consumers about $23 billion.
The DOE also issued final efficiency rules for distribution transformers and microwave ovens as well as proposed standards for furnace fans.
which will rely on energy efficiency as a tool to cut carbon pollution from power plants and is helping scale up efforts already underway to make homes buildings industrial processes equipment appliances and electronics more efficient.
The team found several genes associated with how long the seeds stay dormant resistance to pests and longer shelf life.
#EPA Aims To Slash Power plant CO2 by 30 Percent Nearly every state in the U s. now has a greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal to meet under the Obama administration's new Clean
Slash the country s overall carbon pollution from the electric power sector by 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.
That means every state except Vermont which has no power plants that apply under the new rule will have to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants according to a rule the U s. Environmental protection agency (EPA) proposed Monday.
The proposed new rule scheduled to go into effect in June 2015 after a period of public comment would apply to about 3000 electricity generating units at 1000 power plants nationwide
The rule is the second of two climate change-related rules affecting the coal industry and the electric power sector.
The first which the EPA proposed last fall aims to cap emissions from unbuilt coal-fired power plants.
because it would require existing coal-fired power plants to cut their carbon emissions. Specifically the rule proposes a unique carbon emissions reduction guideline for each state
For nearly each state the EPA is requiring two sets of emissions reductions goals for power plants:
For example a state can choose to slash emissions from power plants only within its borders or work with other states to slash emissions at a regional level.
and how often the state's fossil fuel-fired power plants operate while factoring in how much the state's renewable power resources
and energy efficiency measures help to reduce the carbon footprint of electric power generation there. There are some big exceptions to those goals however.
The rules don t apply to coal-fired power plants in U s. territories. Four coal-fired power plants on Native american reservations are excluded also from state emissions reduction goals.
Those power plants include the Four Corners Power plant in New mexico which is a major contributor to that area being polluted the most by coal-burning power plants in North america.
Scientists'and climate change experts'reception of the proposed rules was mixed Monday with many saying they'll make a difference
but don't go far enough in curbing climate change-driving greenhouse gas emissions. Overall if the proposed rules survive possible legal challenges
#The coal industry and its unions railed against the proposed rule at public hearings the EPA held last year intended to glean public input on the existing-power plant rules before they were written.
#oethere has to be help getting technology into coal fired power plants#he said. To disallow coal altogether I think is a total mistake.
William Fleckenstein said Monday adding that the federal government does not appear to be doing much to encourage the construction of liquefied natural gas facilities to help reduce carbon emissions globally by helping coal-dependent countries switch to less carbon-intensive natural gas for electric power production.#
as an alternative to coal for electric power generation. I think pretty clearly the demand for natural gas has gone up already this will accelerate that Derry said Monday adding that there are no other sources of electric generating capacity that are currently available on a large enough scale to replace coal.

#Watercress Named Top'Powerhouse'Veggie For a sure way to boost the health benefits of your next meal you may want to add watercress to the salad bowl.
Its tangy leaves ranked highest on a new list of powerhouse fruits and vegetables a new study says.
Watercress captured the No. 1 spot and a perfect score of 100 percent in the powerhouse-produce rankings.
The other powerhouses in the top 10 spots were Chinese cabbage chard beet greens spinach chicory leaf lettuce parsley romaine lettuce and collard greens the research found.
The study used powerhouse as a term to describe foods most strongly linked with reducing the risk of chronic disease.

and rank powerhouse fruits and vegetables Di Noia told Live Science. The findings are published online today (June 5) in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease.
Powerhouse produce Among the 47 raw fruits and vegetables involved in the study all but six of them blueberries raspberries cranberries tangerines garlic
and onions met the powerhouse criterion. These six had scores below 10 percent the minimum cutoff point to pass the powerhouse test.
In the study as well as in nutritional guidelines a food earned powerhouse status by providing on average 10 percent or more of the daily recommended intake of 17 qualifying nutrients in a 100-calorie serving.
These 17 qualifying nutrients which health organizations have identified as helping to protect against cancer heart disease
and garlic for example were considered not powerhouses. These foods have been hailed widely as nutritional superstars packed with valuable antioxidants and disease-fighting properties.
and vegetables that didn't make the cut as powerhouses were not good sources of the nutrients used to index the foods
Using the list The top half of the powerhouse list included mainly green leafy and cruciferous vegetables from kale and spinach to Brussels sprouts and broccoli.
The five lowest-ranked powerhouses were grapefruit (white) sweet potato leek blackberry and turnip. The list of 47 foods that the researchers looked at left out some popular foods.
and bananas were considered nutrient-poor foods with scores falling below 10 the powerhouse criterion. Still that doesn't mean people shouldn't include these foods in their diets to increase their overall intake of fruits and vegetables.
The list of powerhouse produce may help consumers focus on how to get the most nutrients from their foods Di Noia said.
I think the message is to encourage consumption of all of the foods on the powerhouse list which by definition are good sources of the qualifying nutrients Di Noia said.
