I live in Manitoba , a province of Canada where all but a tiny fraction of electricity is generated from the potential energy of water. The manufacture of solar panels involves the environmental costs from mining, waste disposal, and carbon emissions. There is thus no longer a place for Big Hydro in the pantheon of electric greenery.

The AHEAD concept for bringing power to off-grid areas in Africa is to make modest use of renewables where it makes sense, and to drive mass deployment of ammonia and hydrogen along with small engine generators, microturbines and fuel cell systems. Coal and water could be used as input where natural gas is not available.

Political unrest in the Middle East-North Africa region and uncertainty about new regulations on deepwater offshore oil drilling have both further contributed to volatility in the global oil market. In the case of pit mining, they can lead to extensive landscape alteration and large waste streams of toxic mining tailings.

This second wave of urbanisation is projected to see more than 3 billion additional people living in cities in a time-span of just 80 years, primarily in Africa and Asia. However, water savings of 30%, and energy saving of up to 50% can be achieved in cities with limited investment and encouraging behavioral change, according to UNEP.

An international study of 10 global cities found that a balance of geophysical factors (climate, access to resources, and gateway status) and technical factors (power generation, urban design, and waste processing) determine the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) attributable to cities. We need to start with low-hanging fruit.
