Ditching Fossil Fuels & Switching to 100% Renewables No Problem, Says Stanford Study
2015-06-11 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Is it possible for the U.S. to ditch fossil fuels? The answer is yes, according to researchers and engineers from Stanford University and U.C. Berkeley, who have developed a state-by-state plan to convert the country to 100 percent renewable energy in less than 40 years. The study, published in the Energy and Environmental Sciences, showcases how each state can replace fossil fuels by tapping into renewable resources available in each state, such as wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and...

Reuters: Almost 80 percent of people worldwide are perturbed about global warming and most want tough action to fix the problem, according to a new study that the United Nations touted as a spur to an international climate deal later this year. The report, based on consultations with 10,000 people in 75 nations from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, also showed that 66 percent viewed measures to tackle warming, such as more wind or solar energy, as a chance to improve their quality of life.

ITU study group to develop IoT standards for smart cities
2015-06-10 14:38:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The ITU has established a new ITU-T Study Group to address the standardisation requirements of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, with an initial focus on IoT applications in smart cities. The new group, titled "ITU-T Study Group 20: IoT and its applications, including smart cities and communities," will be responsible for international standards to enable the coordinated development of IoT technologies, including machine-to-machine communications and ubiquitous sensor networks. The group will develop IoT standards that address urban-development challenges. A key part of the study will be the standardization of end-to-end architectures for IoT and mechanisms for the interoperability of IoT applications and datasets employed by various vertically oriented industry sectors. The deployment of IoT technologies is expected to connect an estimated 50 billion devices to the network by year 2020, the ITU said.
