This website details the work by the Australian Government's work toward
cutting emission by promoting the awareness of renewable energies. The
AGO is the world's first government agency dedicated to cutting greenhouse
emissions. This site is not just informative but, as they say, to be used
as a tool for the Commonwealth Government and Industry to build relationships
with each other. To help each other take greater strides towards
counteracting the effects of global warming by boosting Renewable Energy
sources, working on greater energy efficiency, greenhouse research and
monitoring, the encouragement of business and industry to use less greenhouse
intensive transport as well as practicing sustainable land development.

Cleaner and Greener The
Leonardo Academy's Cleaner and Greener "Green Energy Program"
educates others how to decrease pollution and increase energy efficiency
through the use of renewable energies.
In their 95-page report available on the web, they inform the positive
and negative impacts to the environment and human health created by the various
energies. These energies include: coal,
oil, gasification combined cycle, natural gas combined cycle, a fuel cell,
wind, biomass and solar. They also
discuss the consumption amounts of energy throughout the world, the costs of
various green energies and how to reduce emissions through simple use of green
energies. In general this report is very detailed, well research and highly
educational. MT
