"monetised health benefits associated with improved air quality can offset between 26% and 1,050% of the cost of US low-carbon policies. This is not surprising, given the US Environmental Protection Agency estimates a US$30 return for every dollar invested in reducing air pollution through the Clean Air Act."

We were shocked and deeply saddened of the news earlier this week of the passing of Sarah Danaher-Greene. We knew Sarah in her professional role within Cork City Council over many years as a wonderful promoter of sustainable travel, always very active in many initiatives such as Bike Week, she was the person behind Operation Transportation and more recently the Tour de Romance, Sarah was the best clue master ever. Sarah was also a great friend and supporter of the Forum, volunteering as a steward with Rebel Pedal annually and was know to have partaken in lots of other activities such as the odd Parade. She was a wonderful person who contributed so much and a beautiful light has been quenched with her passing. Our deepest sympathies to her family and friends, especially her husband and little James. May she rest in peace.

Another two breakthroughs making solar energy even more efficient and therefore cheaper.
"the coated cells produced 20 percent more electricity than without the coating,"
Solar power is now far cheaper in most of the world than coal, oil and other fossil fuels even with the enormous subsidies fossil fuels receive and without considering the devastating environmental and health costs of pollution.
