In the broader markets financials was again the worst performing sector, reflecting the concern over credit markets, with consumer staples and utilities benefiting from investor caution. During the month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) bill that requires investor-owned utilities to generate at least 15% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020. The House also approved a tax provision bill which will repeal $16 billion of tax breaks to US oil companies and reallocate the funds to renewable sources. The bill must now be merged with the Senate energy bill from June, before passing through Congress. In Germany, the government agreed to implement up to 30 energy savings and efficiency measures over the next year, the majority of which will come from buildings, transport and household energy consumption. In the water sector, the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization reported a record number of climate and weather extremes around the world since the beginning of 2007. These include more than 70 serious floods and the first ever documented cyclone in the Arabian Sea. In the US, New York experienced a record three inches of rain over three hours, bringing the subway to a standstill and causing severe delays to thousands of commuters. Governor Eliot Spitzer responded by ordering a Metropolitan Transit Authority report on stormwater management. This coincided with an audit which found that the city's drinking water system is losing 35 million gallons a day through leaks, leading to a separate award of a US$239 million contract to start the repair work. In the waste sector, the UK's Local Government Association proposed a pay-by-weight scheme for household waste, involving microchip-fitted bins. The LGA also floated the idea of charging households for bins and pre-paid sacks, based on their size. The scheme follows a national survey in which almost two-thirds of people supported being charged under the "pay as you throw" system in return for council tax rebates. Local authorities are facing EU fines of up to £3 billion if waste to landfill is not dramatically reduced. Stocks that contributed to the decrease in the Company's NAV during August included Mueller Water (water treatment, US) and Transpacific (waste management, Australia), which were affected by weak US residential construction and refinancing risks associated with the current credit market respectively. On the upside, RPS (environmental consulting, UK) and Kingspan (insulation products, Ireland) made advances following a good second quarter and on the back of strong end markets respectively.
