Morning Come

Your thoughts are on pink. Pink elephants with floppy ears, Pink polcadot pillows, Pink rabbit-eared flip-flops with, Non-slip soles, Pink cereal, Pink hair bobbins, and The bright pink coffee shop, You would take her to, To apologise and review, Her new pink shoes. Why must everything be so loud? Bedraggled mops slop over, Tired hospital […]

Pregnant in Dundee

How far would you travel from where you were born? She spends more on her dogs in one week, Than the government provides for those in trouble. She’s a naturally happy person. The mottled concrete walls of the council block she’s moved in to, Complement her pock-marked, pink skin. For a rich person, She’s ugly. […]

Leaving Afghanistan

I am the gate keeper. Two flags gone Marking bodies where they fell, Manure, Useful, Two flags fleeing loose rounds, Auras, Fleeting, Bring your palm, I can read it now, Unhinged as I am, The last are, Making their way home. -evocative short poetry-

Love the sinner, not the sin

On Loosing People

How I wish I had another chance at, Caroline, I would rub her stomach until, She fell asleep, And sit there some more, Catch her  when the nightmare , Threatened to be too real, I’d tell her stories about the past, about dragons and princesses and, Hero’s, I’d sit still beside her all night and, […]

Walking in the Light

We could dance on Gravity, We could burst the Sun, We could be that horror Alien who stole your child, We are born metal touching galaxies though glass, Galileo’s kids seeing through Sombrero, We could look after water, Or it’s facsimile, We could look after Earth.                                                                                                                                                         evocative short poetry

Falling from the sky

The machines do not run us. We are responsible for; Giraffes, Elephants, Rhinos, And Flaura and Fauna. Dried, Sparkly flowers may be intelligent, As the case may be.

Insurrection

I have always liked, Defiant Africans, Nelson, Patrice, Kenyatta, Martin Luther King, Groovy black men, Niggers with attitude, But they intimidate me, Black men. Freedom fighters, Bar room brawlers, And I rise from sleep, Sheened in sweat, Running away, Scribbling my number, On scraps of paper, On foreheads and trousers, On outstretched palms, And I’m […]

On dodging bullets

A glance at the rear-view mirror, And you’re in the hands of a driver who’s chewing grass and, Kneading her weave. You are left of a drunk who’s just exclaimed, “…we’re moving too fast!” Survival can be glamorous. You imagine you see, That you can dodge bullets, And retain bouncy hair, That keratin replenishers really […]

Red Ink

I. We used to receive, in West Germany, handwritten letters from friends in Soviet Russia. Mail was read by censors so we established a code; If written in blue ink, True, If red, False. Letters would arrive, All written in blue; Everything wonderful, stores full of food, Apartments large, weather is good. We just cannot […]

They will stone you in God’s name

It’s a revolt. A revolution. And in the name of God, they are building schools, Delivering doctors, door to door. They are conveying the message that people care, And that no one is forgotten but, Cameras are not allowed in some places. People hoist burning American Flags, Which melt and spit plastic, Scarring children with […]

Pansies, Holly and Twinkly lights

Unlocking Finance for Clean Energy: The Need for 'Investment Grade' Policy

1 December 2009

Kirsty Hamilton

Associate Fellow, Energy, Environment and Resources Programme

As the international community looks to the period beyond the UN Copenhagen agreements on climate change, attention is focusing on the finance for implementing global emissions reductions on the ground. The requirement for significantly scaled-up investment into the solutions to climate change is a central issue, often characterized as investment flows into 'low carbon technologies'.

This paper draws on five years of insights from mainstream financiers leading the exponential growth in renewable energy investment, and key issues for policy-makers seeking to foster conditions for even greater investment are identified.

Carbon Capture and Storage: Panacea or Procrastination?

Research Event

14 September 2009 - 12:00am to 11:00pm

Chatham House, London

Event participants

Dr Jon Gibbins, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College London
Jim Footner, Senior Climate Change Campaigner, Greenpeace

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has risen up the political agenda both nationally and internationally as a part of the effort to reduce CO2 emissions in power generation yet the applications, potential and impacts of this technology remain contested.

Is CCS - employed to produce low-carbon electricity and hydrogen - the panacea we urgently need to limit cumulative CO2 emissions to a level at which we stand a chance of avoiding dangerous climate change (and possibly also a renaissance in global nuclear fission)? Or does it shift the emphasis away from switching to more a sustainable renewable energy infrastructure that could avoid the use of fossil fuels and nuclear altogether?

In this meeting two leading voices in the debate give their opinions, separating the known from the unknown and kick starting an informed discussion about the pros, cons and politics of CCS.

Please note that attendance is by invitation only and there is a maximum of 25 places. 

This meeting is part of the Chatham House Fossil Fuels Expert Roundtable.
