Robber fly - Nature photographer Thomas Shahan specializes in amazing portraits of tiny insects. It isn't easy. Shahan says that this Robber Fly (Holcocephala fusca), for instance, is "skittish" and doesn't like its picture taken.

“… 4 - Energy (again)

The natural resources of the planet are finite and will not support the continuation of what you've been doing. We've been saying this for a decade. Watch for increased science and increased funding for alternate ways of creating electricity (finally). Watch for the very companies who have the most to lose being the ones who fund it. It is the beginning of a full realization that a change of thinking is at hand. You can take things from Gaia that are energy, instead of physical resources. We speak yet again about geothermal, about tidal, about wind. Again, we plead with you not to over-engineer this. For one of the things that Human Beings do in a technological age is to over-engineer simple things. Look at nuclear - the most over-engineered and expensive steam engine in existence!

Your current ideas of capturing energy from tidal and wave motion don't have to be technical marvels. Think paddle wheel on a pier with waves, which will create energy in both directions [waves coming and going] tied to a generator that can power dozens of neighborhoods, not full cities. Think simple and decentralize the idea of utilities. The same goes for wind and geothermal. Think of utilities for groups of homes in a cluster. You won't have a grid failure if there is no grid. This is the way of the future, and you'll be more inclined to have it sooner than later if you do this, and it won't cost as much….”

Australia Plays Down Impact of China’s ‘Dirty Coal’ Ban

Sydney. Australia on Wednesday played down the impact of China banning the sale and import of “dirty” coal, saying miners would adapt and exports would not be significantly affected.

The Chinese government on Tuesday said the anti-pollution move would take effect from January 1 to help tackle the choking smog that regularly blankets its cities after three decades of rapid industrialization.

Much of that pollution is driven by its heavy reliance on coal with the Asian giant the world’s largest consumer.

Australia is a key supplier, exporting 49 million tonnes of thermal coal to China annually. Under the new rules, coal with sulphur content of more than three percent and ash content of more than 40 percent will no longer be permitted.

The Sydney Morning Herald splashed the story on its front page Wednesday, saying it could expose the industry to billions of dollars in lost sales.

But the Minerals Council of Australia, a top industry body, said this was “alarmist” and there was “no evidence to suggest that Australian coal exports to China would be significantly affected.”

“We are confident that the Australian industry can meet the proposed specifications and therefore the MCA sees no impact from these regulations,” it said in a statement.

It added that almost all Australian black thermal coal would be well within the thresholds for ash, sulphur and energy applying to imported coal and could be blended with other coal to meet the target if it was not.

The council said the regulations largely refer to what is colloquially known as “San Coal”—coal used for small boilers and domestic heating, and not large scale power plants or other industrial users.

“We are not aware that Australian coal is supplied in these markets,” it said.

Seeking to address mounting public concern about the environment, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in March said that China “will declare war against pollution and fight it with the same determination we battled poverty.”

The government will shut down 50,000 small coal-fired furnaces this year, clean up coal-burning power plants and remove six million high-emission vehicles from the roads, Li said.

Despite this, the council said coal currently accounts for 80 percent of China’s electricity output “and all leading energy forecasting agencies and analysts agree that ongoing industrialization and urbanization will drive robust coal demand for decades to come”.
