Severe Antarctic weather slows Australian icebreaker bid to reach stranded ship  Sunday, Dec 29, 2013 07:00 PM PST By Maggie Lu Yueyang SYDNEY (Reuters) - Severe Antarctic weather was slowing an Australian icebreaker's bid to reach a Russian ship trapped in ice since Christmas eve with 74 people onboard, the Australian maritime rescue agency said on Monday. The Aurora Australis was currently about 11 nautical miles from the stranded Russian ship Akademik Shokalskiy, said the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), which is co-ordinating the rescue.

UK not to challenge EU environmental regulations on coal power plants - Times London  Sunday, Dec 29, 2013 04:31 PM PST (Reuters) - The United Kingdom will not challenge the European Union's environmental rules which have led to closure of many old coal power plants even as the country faces threats of power black outs within the next two years, The Times of London reported on Monday. "We are not planning to break the rules on that," Britain's Energy Minister Michael Fallon was quoted as saying by the newspaper. Britain's coal-fired generators, once the backbone of British energy industry, pumped out 91.86 terra watt-hours (TWh) of power in the first nine months of 2013 down three percent from the year before, according to provisional data published in a report by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change. National Grid has already warned of winter blackouts if investments are not made in new capacities even while Britain's power market is tightening over its ageing power-generation capacity.
