Energy cannibalism is happening so fast that the collapse of the oil industry will derail renewables

There’s no time to lose. The new research led by the French team confirms that whether we like it or not, human civilisation is in the midst of the most rapid transformation of the global energy system we’ve ever experienced. And hanging on for dear life to the old, dying...

Dear Wyoming: Coal is in terminal decline.

Republican governor says measure sends message that Wyoming is ‘prepared to bring litigation to protect her interests’ Coal is a 19th century fuel in a 21st century world. It is out of date and filthiest of fossil fuels. Modernize for god’s sake. Wasting money to protect a vanishing industry makes...

AntiCapitalist MeetUp: Are carbon markets like papal indulgences

Like Martin Luther objecting to Pope Leo X selling indulgences to raise money for a variety of excesses, the environmental costs of carbon markets far exceed the benefits. Austerity would have denied us Renaissance art which is less at risk in an age of non-fungible tokens. Today the consequences for the planet...

We are getting a pretty good look at what a rapid transition to green energy would look like if we ever act to slow down the looming apocalypse. Of course, we are in one now because of the trifecta of coronavirus, climate change, the sixth mass extinction, and predictions of...

Trump throws Hail Mary pass in desperate attempt to save pathetic KY governor from defeat

Just how bad do you have to be to lose re-election as the right-wing conservative incumbent in one of the reddest states in the union? I ask because that’s exactly what is happening right now in Kentucky. The election is less than a month away, and Matt Bevin is ranked the most unpopular...

Trump: 'I think I know more about the environment than most people'

Hey, don’t worry about anything — particularly not the environment.

U.S. renewable energy generation just surpassed coal for the first time ever

Donald Trump has staked his grubby little political future in part on a supposed renaissance in dirty, backward-looking industries like coal production. Unfortunately for him, the world doesn’t stand still for anyone, much less the imperial tonne of congealed adipose and inertia who calls himself our 45th pr*sident. Renewable energy is...

Nuclear Power: Always More Popular On K-Street Than Wall Street

20170128_WOC703_3.png

Barring the early period of “too cheap to meter” optimism, nuclear power has consistently been more popular on K-Street than Wall Street. Curiously among political topics, nuclear power has its staunch ideologues on both the left and the right. Yet the place where it lacks support is perhaps where it needs...

Renewable Power Becoming Cheaper than Coal

Despite Donald Trump’s best lies, renewable wind and solar power continue to spread and develop as very realistic replacements for fossil fuels. Here’s a site with resources detailing the point: energyinnovation.org/… America has officially entered the “coal cost crossover” – where existing coal is increasingly more expensive than cleaner alternatives....

Paul Krugman shows just how badly West Virginians screwed themselves by voting for Trump

Trump promised to bring back coal, an energy source that’s becoming increasingly less viable by the day. And largely because of this, he won West Virginia in a landslide. Of course, in the long run, the coal industry is screwed. Renewables are getting cheaper and cheaper, so even if you don’t...

Coal Plants Closing Every 15 Days. It's Time to Face Reality: In 10 Years, Coal Will Be Dead.

Coal power stations have now ceased generating electricity in the UK, with all of them ceasing operations by 2022. They will be closed completely by 2025. Here in the US, Trump promised coal-producing states that there would be a complete reversal when he took office. He lied (as usual) and...
