Finding our way out of the world's water crisis
Water World    Share    Share on FacebookTwitterShare on LinkedinE-mail article
A year ago, the World Water Forum (WWF), the worlds largest water policy gathering, met in Istanbul, Turkey. Organized every three years by the World Water Council (WWC), the forum is billed as "an all-inclusive, multi-stakeholder process" where governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), businesses and others "attempt to find solutions to achieve water security."

A sound investment: Solar
Today's Energy Solutions    Share    Share on FacebookTwitterShare on LinkedinE-mail article
"Solar power is a low-risk, high-return investment," say Tom Rooney, CEO of SPG Solar. "In many cases, solar installations can pay for themselves in as little as five years and are subsidized with cash rebates, a 30 percent Federal Investment Tax Credit, and accelerated State and Federal depreciation schedules." By switching to solar power, a business can move towards energy independence by owning the power it produces. Think of the benefits of owning power. Whether a company makes the switch to clean, renewable energy now, or later, that company will still have to pay their electric bill. More
