In the broader markets, Industrial Goods and Telecoms were the best performing sectors. Interestingly, Energy and Energy Equipment & Services were significant underperformers. During the month, The European Commission announced its new Energy Plan, calling for a "post-industrial revolution", including a 20% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2020. The EC foresees energy imports rising from 50% of consumption to 65% by 2030, and estimates that the electricity sector will require a ¤900 billion investment over 25 years to replace ageing capacity and to cope with rising demand. In the US, an alliance of companies including General Electric, Duke Energy and Alcoa called on the government to introduce national legislation to slash greenhouse gas emissions. A week later, in the State of the Union address, President Bush called for the US to cut petrol use by 20% over 10 years. Whilst the President failed to set any mandatory targets on carbon emissions, the Renewable Fuels Standard was raised to 35 billion gallons by 2017 from the current 7.5 billion gallons by 2012, with alternative fuels to displace 15% of gasoline by 2017. The 2008 budget includes nearly $2.7 billion for the Advanced Energy Initiative, a 26% increase on 2007. In the water sector, Prime Minister John Howard unveiled a Aus$10 billion investment in irrigation infrastructure in response to Australia's worst drought in 100 years. This follows a decision by the Queensland government to pump recycled drinking water into the state's water reservoirs next year. The 10-point plan includes Aus$6 billion allocated to line and pipe major delivery channels, aimed at saving 3000 gigalitres of water a year, and a programme to improve on-farm irrigation technology and metering. In the waste sector, the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) and End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directives came into force in the UK. Both directives implement the principle of "extended producer responsibility" and encourage the separate collection and recycling of materials. During the month, AVR (owned by KKR and CVC) announced the acquisition of Van Gansewinkel to double in size and become a leading waste management company in the Netherlands, highlighting the ongoing attraction of waste assets to private equity firms. Stocks that contributed to the increase in the company's NAV during January included Tanfield (electric vehicles and powered access platforms, UK), which rose 31% on a large order from logistics group TNT, and TEG (composting, UK), which increased by 26% following the announcement of the Viridor-Laing consortium as preferred bidder for the Greater Manchester Waste PFI contract - TEG is expected to build four plants as part of the consortium. On the downside, Energy Developments (Landfill gas developments, Australia) declined by 10% on project delays and cost overruns.
