Posted at 12:47 PM on 07 May 2008 Takeaways from a new ranking of eco-friendly practices in big biz: Consumer companies are getting greener, but there's plenty of ground to gain.

Start Your Engines Feds set fuel-economy benchmarks for automakers		22 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 11:14 AM on 22 Apr 2008 Federal regulators will propose benchmarks Tuesday for automakers to hit on their way to reaching a fuel-economy requirement of 35 miles per gallon by 2020. Auto fleets will have to average 27.8 mpg by 2011 and 31.6 mpg by 2015 -- a more aggressive timetable than was required by Congress. That's 35.7 mpg for passenger cars in 2015 (new cars averaged 31.3 mpg last year) and 28.6 mpg for light truc ...

By Our Power Combined California utilities scuffle over cap-and-trade		21 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 8:42 AM on 21 Apr 2008 California is well aware that reducing greenhouse-gas emissions is easier said than done. The state's attempts to craft an effective cap-and-trade system are causing infighting among public utilities and their privately owned counterparts. Public utilities, which source more of their power from coal, protest that they're going to end up paying out the nose to the state and seeing the money red ...

We'll Always Have Paris Meeting of major economies ends with little progress		18 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 2:42 PM on 18 Apr 2008 A U.S.-led gathering of major economies in Paris this week concluded, as previous meetings have done, with little progress. The 17 countries bashed President Bush's climate speech for a while, then argued about whether to set a goal of halving global greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050. (Guess who's against it?) French president Nicolas Sarkozy made himself quoteworthy, saying that climate ...

Breaking the Bank World Bank should get out of carbon-offset market, says report		11 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 3:48 PM on 11 Apr 2008 Carbon-offset dealings by the World Bank have been criticized (and not for the first time) in a report released Thursday by the Institute for Policy Studies. In the past two years, the report charges, the bank has loaned $1.5 billion to fossil-fuel companies to make minor greenhouse-gas reductions. It then sells carbon credits for those reductions, says coauthor Daphne Wysham, " ...

As IMF! IMF report says economic costs of climate-change action negligible		04 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 8:35 AM on 04 Apr 2008 The International Monetary Fund said in a report released today that sharply reducing the world's carbon emissions will cost relatively little economically if a carbon-pricing scheme is adopted soon that includes all the major-emitting countries. The report didn't endorse one specific pricing mechanism, but said that either a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade system could work if it gradually ...
