How should water utilities prepare for climate change?
SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS generally agree that temperaturess around the globe will increase during the next country. The western United States will likely experienc a 3°C warming, with serious effect on the region`s water supply systems. Without substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions, temperatures may rise even higher. Models also predict greater runoff variability.
The scientific community is still debating certain aspects of global warming-e.g., whether stroms will increase in intensity ... |

Plan B 4.0 by the numbers - data highlights on solar energy
Concerns about global warming, rising fossil fuel prices, and oil insecurity have prompted calls for a new energy economy, one that replaces fossil fuels with renewables. The sun is an enormous reservoir of energy; in fact, the sunlight reaching Earth in just one hour is enough to power the global economy for a whole year. Harnessing some of this energy is an essential component of Earth Policy Institute`s carbon cutting plan, as presented in Chapter 5 of Plan B 4.0. Here are some highlights from ... |

L&E America
L&E America provides air pollution control equipment and technology in the form of VOC oxidizers (regenerative, recuperative, and catalytic) and recovery systems to the paper, automotive, and process industries. As one of the pioneers in the air pollution control industry, we've been designing and building systems for over 30 years. We were one of the 1st in North America with a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) installed in 1990. |
