The role of municipal energy planning in the regional energy-planning process

Energy, 2012
Abstract The site-specific nature of renewable sources, the need to involve citizens in the energy-planning process and the perspective of local governments, who are the first governmental stakeholders involved in the implementation of energy-saving initiatives, has recently emphasised the strategic role played by municipalities in the energy ...

Geovisualization for Energy Planning

2020
In 2018 across 885 urban areas of the EU-28 only 66% of EU cities have, according to Reckien et al. classification a A1 (autonomously produced plans), A2 (plans produced to comply with national regulations) or A3(plans developed for international climate net- works) mitigation plan, 26% an adaptation plan, and 17% a joint adaptation and mitigation plan,

Plan B for Energy

Scientific American, 2006
This article explores energy production technologies on the horizon that aren't currently feasible. The article discusses fusion power, which promises unlimited power with minimal waste by joining atoms, high-altitude wind power using turbines that take advantage of the jet stream; space-based solar power (SSP), which uses thin-film photovoltaic lenses

Modelling the National Energy Plan

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1980
This paper summarizes how the Project Independence Evaluation System (PIES) was used to estimate impacts of the National Energy Plan presented to the U.S. Congress and the public April 20, 1977. For completeness a summary of the structures and underlying methodologies is also included. The key components considered are: oil and gas price controls, coal

Planning for Future Energy Resources

Science, 2003
We disagree with M.I. Hoffert et al.'s (Advanced technology paths to global climate stability: Energy for a greenhouse planet, Reviews, 1 Nov., p.981) characterization of the IPCC Third Assessment Report's conclusion that known technological options could achieve a broad range of atmospheric stabilization levels, such as 550 ppm, 450 ppm or below over ...

Earthshaking energy development plans

Science, 2014
Partnerships between scientists, engineers, legislators, and local communities can substantially enhance earthquake resilience (“‘Epicenters’ of resilience,” M. L. Zoback, Editorial, 17 October, p. [283][1]). Such resilience must not be compromised by energy development.
