Electric Utilities Through the Lens of the IPAT Identity

Posted on May 31, 2022 by climatechangefork

The last two blogs focused on applying the IPAT identity to sub-country organizations. For obvious reasons, I started this analysis with a focus on oil companies and their supposed commitments to net-zero carbon emissions in the “near” (mid-century) future. One … Continue reading →

Managing the Energy Transition: Specifics

Posted on November 16, 2021 by climatechangefork

Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, may have asked, “what good is it to save the planet if humanity suffers?” (September 21, 2021) but this week, in the context of COP26, the current CEO of Exxon expressed a different … Continue reading →

Universal Hydrogen Economy: Part 2

Posted on November 2, 2021 by climatechangefork

This week, we’re back to our discussion about the hydrogen economy. The Economist published a great summary of the related challenges we’re facing right now: Today’s hydrogen business is, in global terms, reasonably small, very dirty and completely vital. Some 90m … Continue reading →

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 →
