Posted Tue Oct 7 2008: from Guardian (UK):
End use of fossil fuels in 20 years, UK warned http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1223389299
Britain must abandon using almost all fossil fuels to produce power in 20 years' time, the government's climate change watchdog will warn today. The independent Climate Change Committee will publish its advice to the government that the UK should set a 2050 target of cutting all greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 percent -- including the emissions from aviation and transport, which were previously excluded.... "We have to almost totally decarbonise the power sector by 2030, well before 2050," he said.
