Working for a Better Future

Posted on October 27, 2015 by climatechangefork

The 2016 presidential election campaign is heating up in the US and it seems to me that the widely accepted degree of cynicism about politicians is reaching new heights. In fact, it has already reached the point of paralyzing important … Continue reading →

The Extended Golden Rule

Posted on October 20, 2015 by climatechangefork

Last week I looked at how Pope Francis used the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Mt 7:12) as an anchor for his call for global change. I ended with an attempt to … Continue reading →

The Drop in Oil Price and What it Means

Posted on July 14, 2015 by climatechangefork

The test of any major transition is in its response to a sharp perturbation. Often such disturbances come in the form of a major war. Fortunately, the present global energy transition is being tested in a much more peaceful manner. … Continue reading →

Predicting the Future and its Impacts

Posted on July 7, 2015 by climatechangefork

In the last blog (June 30th) I started to investigate the impact of the recent large drop in global oil prices on the global energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources. The sharp decline in oil prices has … Continue reading →

NIMBY as a Business Strategy

Posted on June 30, 2015 by climatechangefork

The June 9, 2015 blog focused on traditional NIMBY arguments in the context of attitudes toward wind farms. The main issue I raised was that if we are making the statement that we object to wind farms because they are … Continue reading →

NIMBY: Wind vs. Fossil Fuels

Posted on June 9, 2015 by climatechangefork

Last week I focused on Texas. In spite of its strong inclination toward state autonomy, reluctance to implement new taxes, and its heavy dependence on fossil fuels, it is playing a vital role in the energy transition: The state is … Continue reading →

Texas

Posted on June 2, 2015 by climatechangefork

Carbon taxation in any form will probably never make it in Texas. It’s a red state that likes its independence, especially when a Democrat presides in Washington. Historically, its residents have shared an intense hatred of regulations and taxes. To … Continue reading →

Back to the United States: Smaller Scope, Bigger Hope?

Posted on May 19, 2015 by climatechangefork

Lately I have been looking at Canada’s progress in the stuttering energy transition, however the United States might be a better focal point for assessing the impact that bottom-up policies (from smaller regions below the level of sovereign states) can … Continue reading →
