The conventional arguments can be summarized in two words: jobs and carbon. There are much bigger issues to consider, however. They include Obama’s credibility in the fight against climate disruption, the United...

Fostering Competition Through Municipalization
Boulder Daily Camera 3 March 2013 Boulder can create a cleaner, more affordable, and more reliable power system. The analysis of Boulder’s energy options, released last Thursday, found that the formation of a city owned and operated utility would slash greenhouse gas emissions while matching Xcel’s energy rates. Importantly, by giving Boulder control over its electrical system, municipalization allows the city to drive a decentralized, clean energy transformation.

The First Climate Test For Obama 2.0
ALSO POSTED BY: Huffington Post 21 February 2013 It has not taken long for Barack Obama to face the first big test of his resolve on combatting global climate disruption.

Obama ultimately is “the decider” on whether or not to let the pipeline proceed. A great...

An Energy Lesson From Ontario

Instead of importing oil from Canadian tar sands, the United States should import Canadian energy policy. The province of Ontario recently announced that it would become the first jurisdiction in North America to completely eliminate coal from its energy mix — a notable achievement given that Ontario generates more electricity than the vast majority of U.S. states and relied on coal for 25 percent of...

Judging by his Inaugural and State of the Union speeches, he gets that. It has been a long time coming. Lyndon Johnson was the first president on record to be warned that unless our energy policies changed, climate change would become apparent, and perhaps irreversible, by the turn...
