Weiss et al. 2012 summarises the available data of  actual studies related to the environmental impacts of biofuels. One metric ton (t) of biofuel was found to save 55 ± 34 gigajoules of primary energy and 3 ± 1 t carbon dioxide equivalents of greenhouse gases, compared to conventional fuels. [1]

Eon and RWE, two German energy giants, back out of the Joint Venture Horizon which planned the construction of up to 7 nuclear power plants in Great Britain. The companies cites high construction costs which face an electricity price of 60 Euro/MegaWatt hour. The planned investment of 18 billion Euro for 6 Gigawatt of nuclear energy could only be feasibly with a market price of 100 Euro/MWh. [1]

Insurance companies invest their money increasingly in alternative energies, to generate yields which are not attainable with state bonds. Allianz, the European biggest insurance company,  has recently  acquired one wind farm in Germany (Lueneburger Heide) and two wind farms in central France (Département Cher). [1]

Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, RWE manager and author of the book "Die kalte Sonne” (The Cold Sun), together with coauthor Dr. Sebastian Lüning, a geologist of the university of Bremen/Germany, say that climate gases will not cause global temperature to rise. In fact, the sun will weaken. Both authors predict global cooling despite rising rising carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere. [1]

The disaster of the Russian submarine Kursk in 2000, the container ship Rena in front of New Zealand  in 2011, the Costa Concordia grounded at January 13, 2012 and  the accident of Fukushima power station in Japan demonstrate the absurdity to equip cargo ships and tankers with  nuclear power. [1]

According to Financial Times horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques increased natural gas  reserves. Instead of importing liquefied gas, US becomes exporter. US prices $1 per m Btu is a third of prices in European markets and a sixth of gas sold in Japan at $15 per mBtu. However, despite all euphoria, drillers disregard that fracking is damaging the US underground layers. It destabilises structures built over billion of year. [1]

Rising demand for energy made Saudi Arabia to signe an agreement with China for cooperation in the development and use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. Hashim Abdullah Yamani, president of King Abdullah City of Atomic and Renewable Energy, signed the nuclear agreement, placing the  highest priority on nuclear safety and environmental protection The Kingdom wants to cut its growing dependence on depleting resources. [1]

The study of Shindell et al. 2012, published at the Science Journal was written by researchers lobbying for Oil and coal giants. The researchers divert from the primary causes and focus on the effect of climate change. This is the classic media strategy of the carbon economy. This is also the strategy of the wreckful climate politics of Obama and his energy secretary Steven Chu based at the expenses of the rest of humanity. [1]

The World Future Energy Summit (WFES) 2012 at Abu Dhabi will focus on renewable energy. Falling costs of wind turbines  and photovoltaic made nuclear energy to write red figures. France has to invest 10 billion Euro to update safety issues of its ageing nuclear power stations.  [1]

France plans a massive increase of wind power. In the following years five off-shore farms will be installed near the shores of  Normandy and Bretagne. This is an investment of ten billion Euro generating 3 GigaWatt in 2016. [1]
