PERTH, Australia, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- AVEVA Group plc (LSE: AVV) one of the world's leading providers of engineering design and information management solutions for the plant, power and marine industries announces the successful conclusion of its Engineering Information Management (EIM) Conference 2010 series in Perth and Melbourne. This high calibre event attracted over 120 delegates in the two cities where key customers and industry peers shared success stories and exchanged knowledge on emerging technologies.
The results of the Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC) councillor candidate surveys on sustainable development indicates the low priority that many candidates place on this critical issue. Questionnaire results demonstrate, that despite all the talk about sustainability, there is often a low level of understanding and an insufficient commitment to implement the required reforms to ensure sustainability becomes a reality.
Climate change is the most serious challenge facing the planet. However, governments in Australia continue to spend twenty-eight (28!) times more taxpayer’s money on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas than they put into renewable energy like solar and wind. We think it’s time to give renewables a fair go!
Will you help us put an end to this decade-long misuse of our tax dollars? Sign the petition asking new Treasurer Wayne Swan to take decisive first steps in this May’s Federal Budget, replacing handouts to antiquated fossil fuels with clean energy investment!
When Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 1974, the
great Tom Lehrer famously remarked that political satire was henceforth
obsolete. We now know that Lehrer was wrong, it was in a coma. In news
just to hand, Tony Blair is to teach religion at Yale.
The Pope must be mortified. One minute he’s reluctantly welcoming Tony
into the fold and the next minute the grinning bloody-handed phoney is
holding forth on Jesus, peace, love and forgiveness at Yale.
