Could You Go An Hour A Day Without Looking At A Screen?
On Sunday Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt exhorted the graduating class at Boston University to just try to go an hour a day without looking at a screen. "Take on hour a day and turn that thing off," he said. "Take your eyes off that screen and look into the eyes of the person you love. Have a conversation, a real conversation."

IEA Is Dead: Long Live The IEA
Everyone has long suspected that the IEA is little more than a subset of the US State Department; the G8 communique released over the weekend confirmed it. After several warning shots issued in Washington and London this year, the Strategic Reserve will now be used whenever the G8 deems fit to ‘ensure the market is fully and timely supplied’ over Iran. Rather a drastic departure from the original economic purpose of the reserve to fill actual or imminent supply gaps in oil markets. What’s more, it’s a massive political mistake for the Paris based agency.

UK Government Being Fools About Shale Gas
I'm never all that enamoured of decisions taken by politicians: no doubt this is some form of character flaw. But this decision that the UK Government seems to be taking about shale gas seems more foolish than most. For they've decided that it isn't really going to be a solution to the country's energy problems therefore it probably shouldn't go ahead.
But The Independent on Sunday has learned that industry experts made clear at a meeting attended by senior ministers, including David Cameron and Ed Davey, the Lib Dem energy secretary, that the UK's reserves were smaller than first thought and could be uneconomical to extract.

Tariffs On Chinese Panels Should Help Dow Chemical's Powerhouse Solar Shingle
Solar installers are naturally chafing at the Dept. of Commerce move yesterday to slap a 31% tariff on solar panels imported from China. All things equal, higher prices on panels will likely crimp demand from homeowners looking to put panels on their roofs. What's more, the tariffs probably won't keep Chinese manufacturers at bay for long. As my colleague Todd Woody points out, China's panel makers like Suntech, Yingli and Trina will likely build factories in other countries to dodge the tariffs.

Venoco Chief Seeks To Grab California Oil Fields From Shareholders. Will They Let Him?
On June 5, shareholders of oil company Venoco will vote on whether on not they want to allow Chief Executive Tim Marquez to buy the 49.5% of shares he doesn't already own for roughly $400 million. Approval of Marquez' $12.50 a share buy-out offer requires the votes of "a majority of the minority" of shareholders. So will they, or won't they?

Small Wind Energy Goes Urban In Italy, Korea, Brazil And Texas
Streetlights usually operate at electricity rates like the ones we pay in our private homes. About one-third of a municipality’s electrical costs are for street lighting. So having that energy provided by some form of renewable energy, means that every cent is saved. For municipalities, whose budgets are being squeezed, that's something serious to consider.

The move is in response a government finding that China is flooding the U.S. market with under-priced solar panels.

No more trees stand around Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, because they have been cut down to make charcoal.

Duties on Chinese Solar Panels Will Imperil Employment in Downstream Industries
What is seen is the tariff that arguably gives domestic producers some breathing room. The politicians smile and cheer. What is unseen is the cost imposed by the tariff on businesses (and their workers) that consume the now scarce product. The politicians pretend they don't see.
