The Gap Between Climate Awareness and Action
WorldChanging – Jul 22, 2007
But it turns out thereâs a big gap between awareness and action. Last month, three top power company execs gave investors the inside scoop on what they expect on climate change. I couldnât help but be curious if their projections and time frames for reducing greenhouse gases lined up with NASA scientist James Hansenâs oft-repeated warning that we have…
But in listening to the first two execs speak, it was clear for many companies, the distance between what power companies expect and what Hansen says is needed is as wide as the Grand Canyon. Bruce Braine of American Electric Power, whose coal-fired power plants make AEP the biggest carbon dioxide emitter in the country, started out on the right page. He talked about the need for strong federal legislation and the companyâs plans for doubling wind power production and retrofitting existing coal plants with carbon capture and storage technology. Yet when the topic turned to when federal carbon limits will be enacted, Braineâs predictions were tough to hear: He expects it will be 2015 before we see any carbon limits in the US and that more substantial carbon reductions will not happen before 2020. Exelon CFO John Young did not make me feel any better. Young says the technologies weâll need to capture and store greenhouse gases from power plants are substantially more expensive than what Congress may be willing to support. New Mexico Senator Jeff Bingamanâs new climate legislation, for example, would set a mandatory cap on carbon emissions, but it includes a $12 per ton limit on what companies would have to pay for their carbon emissions.

Dechow said that starting a factory is not like moving a retail business into a mall. “There’s so much capital outlay for equipment and inventory,” he said. “So if you don’t have to put as much money into rent” there is money for what is needed to get started. In addition to at times having $100,000 in inventory on the factory floor, Dechow said there are other considerations. He pointed to a machine a few feet away…
“We had to have this equipment here to build this machine,” he said, a six-month process. “You’ve still got to pay your wages, everything is going out and nothing coming in. Sutech Industries, a China-based lawnmower company that moved its assembly operations to Galesburg from Aurora in September 2005, has different needs. Utsinger said that’s the beauty of the incubator, the flexibility to meet those needs. Terry Tulin, vice president of operations at Sutech, said the Galesburg operation, which has five factory and four office employees, receives the basic frames and handles from China. “The engines, wheels, carton and operating manual are all purchased in the United States,” Tulin said. Sutech uses Briggs and Stratton and Honda engines.
