Is the tide turning for sustainability in Colorado Springs? There are certainly signs that it is. Just months after Colorado Springs finished dead last in a Brookings Institution national ranking of cities' "clean economy" performance, the Springs is sprouting community solar gardens, Fort Carson is moving toward "net zero" goals for energy, water and waste, and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs is launching an electric vehicle program, among other mileposts.

In a year of accolades marking Dubuque's economic success, a recently released national ranking of economy building shows Iowa's oldest city continues to move up the charts.

Rankings on the ease of doing business do not tell the whole story about an economy's business environment. Lhe indicator does not account for all factors important for doing business- for example, macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure, workforce skills or security. But improvement in an economy's ranking does indicate that its government is creating a regulatory environment more conducive to operating a business. In Eastern Europe and Central Asia many economies continue to do so- and economies in the region once again dominate the list of top Doing Business reformers in 2007/08. New this year: reforms in the region are moving eastward as 4 newcomers join the top 10 list of reformers: Azerbaijan, Albania, the Kyrgyz Republic and Belarus (table 1.1). Rwanda is one example of the divi...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Even a small interruption of the daily oil supply impacts our nation's economic engine, but a sustained disruption would alter every aspect of our lives -- from food costs and distribution to what or if we eat, to manufacturing goods and services to freedom of movement. A new CNA analysis finds if America reduces its current rate of oil consumption by 30 percent, and diversifies its fuel sources, the U.S. economy would be insulated from the impact of such disruptions- - even in the event of a complete shutdown of a strategic chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz, the international passageway for 33 percent of the world's seaborne oil shipments. Released at U.S. House and Senate briefings today, "Ensuring America's Freedom of Movement: A National S...

WASHINGTON, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae's (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) latest national housing survey finds that Americans expressed more cautious optimism during the first quarter of 2011 than in the fourth quarter of 2010, but they continue to lack confidence in the overall strength of the housing market and economic recovery. The First-Quarter 2011 Fannie Mae National Housing Survey polled homeowners and renters between January 2011 and March 2011. Findings were compared to similar surveys conducted throughout 2010 and December 2003. Survey results show that Americans' newfound optimism about home prices, the economy, and personal finances is balanced by concerns about rising household expenses, which may require Americans to remain cautions about the recovery. Despite cons...
