Shell looks at the sun as energy source of future

Article Abstract:

Anglo-Dutch concern Shell is to invest 300 million pounds sterling in the period to 2002 to boost its capacity to make solar cells. This policy, along with plans to grow trees which can be burnt in electricity-generation power stations, seems to represent an admission by the company that the use of oil as a source of energy will gradually diminish in the 21st century. The new Shell International Renewables division aims to hold at least 10% of the world market for solar or photovoltaic cells by 2005.

Black looks over a burning issue

Article Abstract:

The generators contributed to the delay in introduction of Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) by keeping part of their application for authorisation confidential. IPC could influence privatisation prospects for British Coal. Two power stations burn orimulsion, a mixture of tar and water, high in sulphur. The sulphur dioxide it produces is the main cause of acid rain. Powergen uses it at Ince, Cheshire, England and Richborough, Kent. National Power burns it in Pembroke, Wales and Padiham, Lancashire.

Who deserves censure for BSE?

Article Abstract:

It is clear that successive UK governments since the mid-1980s failed to take adequate steps to address the problem of BSE in cattle. Too much emphasis was placed on the immediate concerns of farmers and the food industry, while fears about Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in humans were deliberately played down. The main failure of the government was not enforcing the successive regulations which were introduced to stop humans and cattle eating BSE-contaminated products.
