Retail Retail operations in the low-carbon economy will have several new features. One will be high efficiency lighting such as compact fluorescent, halogen, and eventually LED light sources. Many retail stores will also feature roof-top solar panel arrays. These make sense because solar panels produce the most energy during the daytime and during the summer. [...]

In 2004, the municipal government organised ”Economic Development Lethbridge”, a body responsible for the promotion and development of the city’s commercial interests. Also in that year, the city joined in a partnership with 24 other local communities to create an economic development alliance called ”SouthGrow”, representing a population of over 140,000. In 2006, Economic Development [...]
Attempts to mitigate the impacts of oil price increases include: * Increasing the supply of petroleum * Finding substitutes for petroleum * Decreasing the demand for petroleum * Attempting to reduce the impact of rising prices on petroleum consumers In mainstream economic theory, a free market rations an increasingly scarce commodity by increasing its price.

In 1997, Samsø won a government competition to become a model renewable energy community. At the time Samsø was entirely dependent on oil and coal, both of which it imported from the mainland. An offshore wind farm comprising 10 turbines (making a total of 21 altogether including land-based windmills), was completed, funded by the islanders. [...]
A peak in oil production could result in a worldwide oil shortage, or it could not even be noticed as demand decreases in conjunction with increased prices. While past shortages stemmed from a temporary insufficiency of supply, crossing Hubbert’s Peak would mean that the production of oil would continue to decline, and that demand for [...]
Algae fuel Algae fuel is a biofuel which is derived from algae. During photosynthesis, algae and other photosynthetic organisms capture carbon dioxide and sunlight and convert it into oxygen and biomass. The benefits of algal biofuel are that it can be produced industrially, thereby obviating the use of arable land and food crops (such as [...]
A Koenigsegg CC prototype was first publicized in 1996, while the full carbon fiber production prototype was finally unveiled at the 2000 Paris Motor Show. The first customer took delivery of a red CC 8S in 2002 at the Geneva Auto Show and four more cars were built that year. Koenigsegg was established in Asia [...]
Fuel efficiency in transportation Vehicle efficiency and transportation pollution Fuel efficiency directly affects emissions causing pollution by affecting the amount of fuel used. However, it also depends on the fuel source used to drive the vehicle concerned. Cars can, for example, run on a number of fuel types other than gasoline, such as natural gas, [...]
The first targets for renewable energy, 5% of by the end of 2003 and 10% by 2010 ‘subject to the cost to consumers being acceptable’ were set by Helen Liddell in 2000. The 2003 Energy White Paper revised the established goals for UK renewable sources to 10% of electricity generation by 2010 and 20% by [...]
