AIR POLLUTION

Burn suspension lifted.  Due to the recent rainfall, CAL FIRE
will lift the burn suspension for the State Responsibility Area
within Eastern Madera County as of 12 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 30,
2014. Hazard reduction burning in Eastern Madera County will be

District permit.  Posted.

CLIMATE CHANGE

California challenges cities to compete to cut carbon emissions. 
The California Air Resources Board thinks a little friendly
competition might inspire Californians to scale back their
driving, cut electricity use and take other steps to reduce
carbon emissions.  The agency on Thursday announced a second
round of the CoolCalifornia City Challenge, where cities compete
to see how much they can cut their emissions of greenhouse gases
that are causing climate change.  Posted.

Green groups: Obama not doing enough on climate.  The White House
has rebuffed repeated protests by some of President Barack
Obama's top environmental allies that his climate strategy won't
work.  The heads of 18 environmental groups went public recently
with a complaint they have privately pressed the White House on
for months: Obama's support of expanded oil and gas production
doesn't make sense for a president who wants to reduce global
warming pollution.  Posted.

FUELS

LCA study finds carbon intensity of corn ethanol decreasing,
gasoline rising; ethanol estimated 43-60% lower than oil by 2022.
 The carbon intensity (CI) of corn ethanol—i.e., the greenhouse
gas emissions produced via the production of a volume of the
fuel—is declining, while the average CI of gasoline produced from
petroleum sources is gradually increasing, according to a recent
report prepared by Life Cycle Associates, LLC for the Renewable
Fuels Association (RFA).  Posted.

GREEN ENERGY

Wind energy installation sets record amid uncertain future.  Wind
energy construction in the United States is at an all-time high,
but the industry warned Thursday the start of new projects this
year is uncertain as Congress considers whether to extend a
two-decade-old tax credit that expired at the end of last year.

OPINION

Taking California's bullet train to a greener future. 
California's high-speed rail is one of the largest public works
projects anywhere in the world. Like the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay
Area Rapid Transit, Interstate 5 and the California Aqueduct
before it, high-speed rail has engendered opposition,
consternation and litigation. Every bold, transformative vision
faces that litany.  Posted.

Want to cut Arctic warming in half? Curb emissions now, study
says.  Global warming is changing the Arctic so quickly that
experts say we should expect an ice-free Arctic Ocean in the
summer within just a few decades.  But a group of scientists says
there is a way to spare the Arctic from more disastrous climate
change.  Posted.
