Universal Hydrogen Economy

Posted on October 26, 2021 by climatechangefork

My last 5 blogs have looked at global energy companies’ apparent green shift, questioning their objectives: where are they shifting? Last week, I promised that I’d address both this and the timing needed for the transition. To address the first … Continue reading →

The American Jobs Plan & Power Generation by Source

Posted on April 13, 2021 by climatechangefork

Last week, when I discussed the new $2.3 trillion “American Jobs Plan,” I listed the costs of items that directly address climate change mitigation. The second most expensive item was the $174 billion program for electric vehicle incentive. A few … Continue reading →

Green Taxonomy

Posted on March 16, 2021 by climatechangefork

On December 27, 2016, I posted a blog, “Impact Assessment: Self-Inflicted Genocide and the Toronto Principle.” I cited an Op-Ed from Benjamin A. Franta: Last December, a committee at the University of Toronto released a report on the issue of divestment, drawing … Continue reading →

Hydrogen Economy: Japan in the Lead

Posted on April 2, 2019 by climatechangefork

While exploring the global efforts to produce and use electric cars (see March 12–26, 2019 blogs), I encountered a piece by CNBC about Toyota’s efforts to help Japan in transitioning to a hydrogen-fueled economy: Earlier this month, Toyota announced a … Continue reading →

Electric Cars: What’s Driving the Transition?

Posted on March 26, 2019 by climatechangefork

In the last two blogs I tried to show that without a parallel effort to decarbonize the power sources of electricity generators, our efforts to promote electric car fleets mean little in the scheme of progress against climate change. So—why … Continue reading →
