Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The European Renewable Energy Council and Greenpeace stated on Monday, October 26, 2008 that the world “could” eliminate the use of fossil fuels by the year 2090 if it took their advice as stated in their report.
Their report “Energy [R]evolution: A sustainable World Energy Outlook”
(pdf file) states that the world could save US$18 trillion in fuel costs in the
future and, in doing so, could create a US$360 billion industry.
The Greenpeace/EREC Report states that coal, for instance, could be replaced by the year 2050 with renewable energy sources, and
solar power, biofuel, geothermal, and wind renewable energy sources
could be major producers of energies by the year 2090.
Sven Teske, with Greenpeace and co-author of the report, stated,
“Unlike other energy scenarios that promote energy futures at the cost
of the climate, our energy revolution scenario shows how to save money
and maintain global economic development without fuelling catastrophic
climate change."
Teske added, "All we need to kick start this plan is bold energy
policy from world leaders.” [EREC]
Teske concluded, “Strict efficiency standards make sound economic sense and
dramatically slow down rising global energy demand. The energy saved in
industrialised countries will make space for increased energy use in
developing economies. With renewable energy growing four-fold not only
in the electricity sector, but also in the heating and transport
sectors, we can still cut the average carbon emissions per person from
today‟s four tonnes to around one tonne by 2050.” [EREC]
In the foreword to the report, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri wrote, "Even those
who may not agree with the analysis presented would, perhaps, benefit
from a deep study of the underlying assumptions," [EREC]
Dr. Pachauri, who is the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former-U.S. Vice
President Al Gore,
