ReplyDeleteReport: Herbicide spurs reproductive problems in many animals
ReplyDeleteMon, 11/28/2011 - 12:25
An international team of researchers has reviewed the evidence linking exposure to atrazine – an herbicide widely used in the U.S. and more than 60 other nations – to reproductive problems in animals. The team found consistent patterns of reproductive dysfunction in amphibians, fish, reptiles and mammals exposed to the chemical.
Atrazine is the second-most widely used herbicide in the U.S. More than 75 million pounds of it are applied to corn and other crops, and it is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of groundwater, surface water and rain in the U.S.
The new review, compiled by 22 scientists studying atrazine in North and South America, Europe and Japan, appears in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

ReplyDeleteBoulder City signs lease agreement for solar power plant
ReplyDeleteBy Sun Staff (contact)
Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2011 | 1:26 p.m.
Boulder City officials today signed a 50-year lease agreement with Korean Midland Power Company to develop a 250 to 350 megawatt solar generation facility, the company announced.
The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs during construction.
The solar array will be located in the Eldorado Valley, about 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas.
The project is expected to break ground in mid-2012 and will take about three years to complete.
“We are very pleased to advance into the U.S. market, where huge growth is expected” in the photovoltaic field, company president and CEO Nam In-Suk said in a statement.
KOMIPO will oversee implementation of the overall project, including the financing, operations and maintenance. It is partnering with POSCO Engineering — formerly Daewoo Engineering — for engineering, procurement and construction.
LNH Enterprises, a local project management firm, will be responsible for general administrative and management support and will work with Longenecker and Associates to jointly develop the master plan for the project.
“More than just a power project, this is also a job creation project that will stimulate the local economy,” said Woojin Kim, president of LNH. “During construction, we will be employing hundreds of trained workers, and we intend to establish a solar training center to assist returning veterans and others enter into the solar workforce.”
A short distance from direct access to the power grid that services California, Nevada and Arizona, Boulder City’s Eldorado Valley is considered one of the richest areas in the United States for photovoltaic solar energy.
Wind tax credit
ReplyDeleteExtending federal tax credit would give wind energy confidence in consistency
America's wind energy industry - and Kansas' wind energy industry - have some real momentum behind them that needs to be sustained. Now is not the time to flirt with ending a federal tax credit for wind production that the industry views as critical for its continued growth.
The industry is appealing to Congress to extend the measure, which provides an income tax credit of 2.2 cents a kilowatt-hour for the production of electricity from utility-scale turbines, helping wind energy to compete with natural gas.
Representatives of an industry trade group on Monday released results of a study it commissioned that concludes that failing to extend the tax credit could cut existing jobs in the wind industry by half, while maintaining it could grow jobs by a third. Extending the tax credit for another four years would cost an estimated $13.6 billion but would yield more than $25.6 billion in economic benefit - up to $2 billion in Kansas.
Hutchinson and Kansas are proof of the growing industry. Hutchinson is home to Siemens Energy's wind turbine manufacturing plant in the U.S., which has created 300 jobs and is still growing. Siemens executive Kevin Hazel, speaking with other industry leaders on a conference call, said his company's division has grown in the U.S. from a single employee in 2005 to more than 1,800 today.
That isn't to mention the growing number of wind farms sprouting up around the state.
Siemens isn't done in Hutchinson. Suppliers for the company continue to eye the community as a location of their own. And plenty of wind in Kansas remains to be harvested for power.
The industry is seeking confidence and consistency in the tax environment, Hazel said. When Congress has allowed renewable tax incentives to expire twice before, that created uncertainty, slowed wind turbine installations and caused job losses, he said.
The tax credit doesn't expire until the end of 2012, but members of Congress ought to appreciate the need for consistency. It is exactly what many Republican lawmakers have been saying about federal tax policy and regulation, that uncertainty is hurting business growth.
Wind energy has become a vital industry for Kansas. Members of our congressional delegation should step forward to co-sponsor and push for legislation to maintain this federal tax credit.
