President Hollande talked of the need for carbon sequestration, developing new clean technologies, and finding ways to be more energy efficient.
I find Marr's exit from his long sequestration, signalled by this exclusive interview, utterly in character.
The hydrogen can be made from any primary energy source, be it fossil fuels or wind energy.The beauty of this combination is that it produces no local emissions, and if the hydrogen is made from renewables or coal with carbon sequestration technology (which captures the carbon emissions from hydrocarbon use and stores them underground), no greenhouse gases either.
Renewable energy sources such as wind and waves have plenty of backers.There are also direct rivals to new nuclear plants, such as fossil-fuel plants with carbon sequestration that can provide baseload power.
Cinergy, an American utility just bought by Duke, is looking into coal gasification and carbon sequestration in Indiana.
Their priorities were cyber- and electronic warfare, long-range attack drones capable of penetrating sophisticated air defences, space systems hardened to withstand attack, and special forces.Some hoped that sequestration might force the Pentagon and Congress to embrace change.
Whether prodded by low-carbon regulations or enticed by green subsidies, venture capitalists are pouring pots of money into low-carbon energy technologies, ranging from renewables to carbon sequestration.
But sequestration, an ugly word for an ugly thing, now threatens to rip the heart out of America's defence budget.Sequestration was part of the deal hammered out last August to extend America's debt-ceiling when it was on the verge of default.
All this at a time when mandated "sequestration" cuts are supposed to be reducing military spending.
In fact, the additional $500 billion that Mr Romney refers to is simply the half of the "sequestration" cut that falls on defence spending, as mandated by the BCA and overwhelmingly voted for by House Republicans.
But so too would "sequestration", an innovative way of using fossil fuels without releasing carbon into the air (see article).This matters for two reasons.
