Le partage est légitime Le partage de fichiers représentant des oeuvres couvertes par le droit d’auteur entre individus sans but de profit a été rendu illégal au cours des 30 dernières années dans la plupart des pays et dans la plupart des cas. Cela ne m’empêche d’affirmer haut et fort que l’acte de prendre une oeuvre numérique qu’on a acquis et de la copier, la rendre accessible à d’autres ou leur envoyer est non seulement légitime, mais une contribution essentielle à l’établissement d’une culture commune. Je propose de défendre cette position en suivant les points suivants: montrer l’utilité du partage (délimité comme ci-dessus) et sa légitimité même sans autorisation des auteurs, montrer que lorsqu’on l’interdit, les pratiques culturelles appauvrissantes chassent les pratiques enrichissantes, et finalement affirmer que la prohibition du partage sera un jour vue comme un étonnant obscurantisme. 1. 2. 3.

Macroéconomie Définition[modifier | modifier le code] La macroéconomie est une branche de la science économique. Elle se consacre à l'étude des grandes variables économiques nationales ou internationales, et aux relations entre ces variables. Elle repose sur une approche globale, quoiqu'elle puisse se fonder sur des comportements microéconomiques[1]. Parce qu'elle fonctionne par la comparaison d'agrégats, la macroéconomie est avant-tout une représentation hiérarchisée de l'économie, articulée entre ses agents, via des flux. Elle cherche à expliciter ces relations et à prédire leur évolution face à une modification de certaines variables. La macroéconomie a évolué à travers le temps pour devenir plus précise et plus sûre. Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] De l'Antiquité à Keynes[modifier | modifier le code] Les penseurs de la Grèce antique, tels que Platon, Aristote et Xénophon, avancent des idées économiques. Au XVIIe siècle, des premières réflexions sur la monnaie et l'économie agricole émergent.
Carbon Sequestration and Storage: Developing a Transportation Infrastructure This study focuses on the pipeline infrastructure requirements for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in connection with compliance with mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reductions. The major conclusion of the study is that while CCS technologies are relatively well defined, there remain technological challenges in the carbon capture and sequestration phases, and less so in transportation. Carbon capture is the most significant cost in the CCS process. The study forecasts that the amount of pipeline that will be needed to transport CO2 will be between 15,000 miles and 66,000 miles by 2030, depending on how much CO2 must be sequestered and the degree to which enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is involved. The upper end of the forecast range is of the same order of magnitude as the miles of existing U.S. crude oil pipelines and products pipelines.
Basic Income Won't Fix Everything, We Need More Innovative Social Ideas A Universal Basic Income (UBI) will not fix everything—it’s not supposed to—it’s a start for some people and a boon for everyone. But don’t let the prospect of a little free money stop us from pursuing more progressive regulations and reforms. UBI is meant to provide a floor—a standard—which no one can fall beneath. In his essay “Not Just a Basic Income” for the Green Institute, Spies-Butcher writes: “A basic income can potentially help break down the stigma and conditionality of many government payments, and improve work incentives and equity. UBI is about how we make society and our economy better, and it’s never just about giving people unconditional free money. Hugh Segal, a conservative and special advisor to the Canadian province of Ontario, which is leading a test on UBI, believes it could be the reform to our welfare system. There’s already evidence to indicate the adoption of basic income could do wonders for our society on a number of levels.
Climate Change Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management and reporting have emerged as leading environmental policy issue at the state, provincial, regional and federal levels in the United States and Canada. Several new initiatives have been launched or are currently under development in the U.S. and Canada that establish rules to report and track these emissions. In addition, the 110th Congress will begin to focus more intently on the merits and the possible form of a mandatory Federal GHG control program. The primary GHG emissions attributable to the natural gas transmission industry include Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from combustion sources and methane (CH4) from fugitive emissions (leaks) and venting. To understand better how potential regulation of GHG might impact natural gas pipeline companies, one must first have a clear picture of the overall US emissions compared to that of the gas transmission industry. The gas transmission industry CO2 emissions comprise just 0.5 percent of U.S.GHG emissions.
TRADING ECONOMICS | 20 million INDICATORS FROM 196 COUNTRIES Standards and Practices for Bulk Storage Skip to main navigation Below is a partial listing of consensus standards and recommended practices which are applicable to the Chemical Bulk Storage (6 NYCRR Parts 595-599) and Petroleum Bulk Storage (6 NYCRR Parts 612-614) programs in New York State. Many of these consensus standards and practices are available for purchase although a few of the documents, e.g., federal government publications, may be downloaded from the Internet at no cost. Other comparable consensus codes, standards, or practices which are developed by a nationally recognized organization or independent testing laboratory, e.g., Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI), Chlorine Institute (CI), Steel Tank Institute (STI), etc., which meet the standards of 6 NYCRR Parts 595-599 are also acceptable.
