The Soon-To-Be-Overturned Clean Power ActThose living outside the U.S. may be a bit flummoxed by America’s posture on climate change mitigation, and, in particular, overturning one of the previous administration’s signature achievements, the Clean Power Act that would shutter the dirtiest of our coal-fired power plants and prohibit the construction of new ones.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes out of your day and check out this article from today’s New York Times, discussing this dramatic change of position on coal, which is 100% certain to increase the number of cases of cancer and deaths from ingestion of heavy metals.  (more…)

A Funnel Thing Happened on the Way to  Environmental CatastropheEven with all the ignorance and indifference to human suffering that are the hallmarks of the current administration here in the U.S., economics appears to be winning the day, ushering in massive amounts of wind energy at the expense of coal.

That’s the reason economics is sometimes referred to as “the mother discipline, ” i.e., nothing else really matters with regard to the proliferation or demise of a certain technology. (more…)

True Patriots Should Heed the Call of Renewable EnergyBy now, a few important things have been established about the U.S. economy:

• Due to falling demand, jobs in coal mining are not coming back, regardless of the completeness with which environmental regulations are gutted.

Environmentalism--Let Your Inner Beauty ShineBeing an environmentalist is one of the greatest things anyone can do with their life.

Data Is Playing a Big Role in Driving Clean Energy As we’ve often discussed here, information and communications technology (ICT) is one of the main drivers of the rapid migration to renewable energy.  There are hundreds of different reasons for this, but here’s one that you’ll find the moment you walk into one of the huge events on solar energy, e.g., Intersolar and Solar Power International: an incredible wealth of data on the suitability of each rooftop in the U.S. for solar panels.  This includes information like the (ever changing) height of the trees (and thus potential for shadows) associated with each home in the U.S.

Here’s an article on Google’s website that collects data on solar rooftops, called Project Sunroof.  Since its inception two years ago, it has grown from coverage of just a few states to all 50, i.e., 60 million rooftops across the country.

Here’s McKibben, addressing a recent meeting of the Bioneers, a 27-year-old organization dedicated to natural solutions of the problems facing humankind.
