		<title>What are the costs of sustainable development, and how long will it take to achieve?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I need to include these 2 components in a 1-pg report . . . I also need to discuss these topics:
- who might oppose sustainable development ;
- what might prove to be difficult to change .
Also , by sustainable development , I mean it regards the environment~
I apologize if this is in the wrong category [...]]]></description>

		<title>How does wind energy work? I know a little, but does anyone have a clearer idea?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I&#8217;ve tried some internet sites, but none of them have given me any real idea of how it works except &#34;It turns the blades and generates electricity&#34;
I am really interested in Wind energy, and how it works. Anyone have a somewhat clearer explanation for me? Thanks.
Wind spins turbines which powers a generator. That&#8217;s the easy [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do you transport solar power tower energy to a building that is 4 kms away?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

And is an area of 1 km^2 for a solar power tower enough to produce energy for five houses? can you make an approximation of how much it could supply?
If you want the heat energy, consider tracking mirrors at the site and solar collectors on the houses.  If you want electric energy, that area [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did you hear the government thinks hydroelectric dams are not green power?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Did you hear the government thinks hydroelectric dams are not green power?
90 percent of Washingtons Power is hydroelectric.
If by green, you mean does not hurt the environment, they are not.
Dams heat the water in the river, changing the environment for plants and fish.
but does that mean they can&#8217;t be improved.

		<title>What the most recent books on city sustainable development, experience of world cities?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sustainable development, city planning, experience of cities around the globe.
This is a very old literature.  However, the &#34;new classic&#34; book is &#34;The Spatial Economy&#34; by Fujita, Krugman, and Venables.  There is some mathematics in the book, but the basic principles can be understood, I think, if you ignore the math.

		<title>What kind of degree should I get to become a wind energy researcher?</title>

But you will still have to include renewable energy in your searches because it [...]]]></description>
