*The Evolution* OR

*Man and his Environment*

At the moment there are thousands of satellites orbiting the earth along with spent rocket bodies and additional debris items. Orbiting debris moves so fast it that a one centimetre nut could hit another satellite with the force of an exploding hand grenade. Debris tends to produce more debris. To prevent the production of new debris in either space or Earth, The Clean Space initiative’s CleanSat programme is developing innovative ways to deorbit satellites from low-earth orbits, developing design and materials methods to ensure satellites fully burn-up during re-entry and making sure that abandoned satellites make safe any and all stored energy that might one day trigger orbital break-ups. Such new technologies to use space in a different way are crucial, if we want future generation to go on making full use of space and exploring our Universe.

USDA Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Dr. Homer Wilkes, U.S. Senator Cory Booker and White House Senior Advisor for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation John Podesta announced historic funding through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to expand access to urban nature, combat the climate crisis, and advance environmental justice, after meeting with local and state stake holders, April 12, 2023, in Newark, New Jersey.

 

The funding announced today is part of a $1.5 billion investment in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The grant funding is available to community-based organizations, tribes, municipal and state governments, nonprofit partners, universities, and other eligible entities as they work to increase tree cover in urban spaces and boost equitable access to nature while bolstering resilience to extreme heat, storm-induced flooding, and other climate impacts. This historic level of investment will enable the Forest Service to support projects to improve public health, increase access to nature, and deliver real economic and ecological benefits to cities, towns and tribal communities across the country.

Galeton Lake, seen on Sept. 29, is formed by a dam along Pine Creek in Galeton, Pa. The lake is a local icon, though the size of the lake and sediment have limited recreational activity behind the dam, which is in need of repairs. A grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission is allowing Galeton Development Corporation to study the structure of the dam as well as opportunities for future public access that would boost tourism in the area.

发展未来能源技术:中美合作是答案吗?Developing Energy Technologies for the Future: Are U.S.-China Partnerships the Answer?

 

5:00pm - 6:15pm: Cocktail Session

 

6:15pm - 7:30pm: Panel Discussion

  

** About the Talk (报告内容) **

 

In the 20th century, we understood energy technology development to be something that took place within the confines of single national economies. The development phases were long, the capital requirements intense, and the levels of uncertainty and risk extremely high. When energy technologies found their way across borders, if they did at all, they did so as mature systems, ones that could be "transferred" from one place to another. Today, an entirely new pattern seems to be afoot. Overseas innovators are teaming with Chinese partners to co-develop energy technologies. Upstream innovations -- often pioneered in Europe, the U.S., and Japan -- are being translated into commercially-viable systems on Chinese soil and in conjunction with Chinese corporate partners and Chinese financing. Yet, as this process surges forward -- both because of the demand for such technologies in China, and the availability of Chinese financing -- significant questions remain. At the commercial level, which technologies are most suited for cross-border development, and which are not? Once financing is secured and cross-border partnerships are established, what is required to make joint technology development actually work? How should the process be organized, and by whom? At the policy level, to what extent can governments be relied upon over the long run to support co-development efforts? What are the risks of protectionist backlash? Under what circumstances might public financing be withdrawn? How do political risks differ across various types of energy technology? This panel will take an "inside-out" look at cross-border technology co-development, starting from the perspective of the commercial players themselves -- the most active drivers of the process -- and then drawing the broader ramifications for public policy and national interest.

By bringing water to people water resellers extend the coverage of piped water and provide a service with important benefits for households - but at a price. That price rises with distance from the utility, as defined by the number of intermediaries between the network and the end consumer. Having a regular supply of clean water piped into the household is the optimal type of provision for human development. Experience suggests that households with water delivered through one tap on a plot (or within 100 metres) typically use about 50 litres of water a day, rising to 100 litres or more for households with multiple taps. Household connections to a utility offer financial benefits. In unit price terms, utility water is by far the lowest cost option. Because of economies of scale once the network is in place, the marginal cost of delivering each additional unit of water falls sharply. Subsidies are another important price-reducing mechanism: utilities are usually the gatekeeper for a wide range of direct and indirect subsidies that keep the price of water well below cost. Every step removed from the household tap adds to the price. Water vendors often act as a link between unconnected households and the utility. In some cases water is purchased from the utility and sold on to households, as in the case of private standpipe operators. In other cases water is purchased from the utility and sold to intermediaries, who in turn sell to households. As water passes through the marketing chain, prices increase. Water delivered through vendors and carters is often 10–20 times more costly than water provided through a utility. In Barranquilla, Colombia, the average price of water is $0.55 per m 3 from the utility and $5.50 per m 3 from truckers. Similarly, in the slums of Accra and Nairobi people buying water from vendors typically spend eight times as much per litre as households with piped water supplied by utilities.

Pallaqueras, female gold miners, pick through the tailings, searching for gold around the gold mines in La Rinconada, Peru, 4 August 2012. During the last decade, the rising price of the gold has attracted thousands of people to La Rinconada in the Peruvian Andes. At 5300 metres above sea level, nearly 50.000 people work in the gold mines and live in the nearby colonies without running water, sewage system or heating service. Although the work in the mines is very dangerous (falling rocks, poisonous gases and a shifting glacier), the majority of miners have no contract and operate under the cachorreo system - working 30 days without payment and taking the gold they supposedly find the 31st day as the only salary. In spite of a demaged environment, caused by mercury contamination from the mining and the lack of garbage disposal, people continue to flock to the region hoping to find their fortune. © Jan Sochor Photography

Since the disaster two major technical tasks have remained: The first is to make the destroyed unit 4 environmentally safe. The second is to safely and securely store the spent nuclear fuel from reactors 1-3, one of the most important stages in the decommissioning of these units.

Given that the original shelter was always only a makeshift solution, the stabilisation of the construction became a priority target. Accordingly, the first works carried out under the SIP were emergency repairs. The western wall was one of the structures that was most at risk from collapse, which could have caused the collapse of the roof.

 

Work to stabilise the roof and the western wall of the Chornobyl shelter began during 2004. It was completed in 2008. The dome shaped structure protected workers during the winter season.

 

During the stabilisation work strict radiation protection requirements for workers were adhered to. The site now includes a state-of-the-art change facility for 1,430 workers, with medical and radiation protection facilities and its own ambulance.

 

The Dick and Nancy Eales Preserve at Moosic Mountain is seen in Lackawanna County, Pa., on Aug. 28, 2019. Once planned for partial commercial development, the 2,200-acre preserve was purchased by the Nature Conservancy in 2001. It features rare heath barrens marked by stunted pine and oak trees and low-lying shrubs such as huckleberry and blueberry. It is home to 18 rare species like the sallow moth and barrens buckmoth, as well as snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, turkey, deer and bear. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
