Negative Energy Pricing

Posted on June 9, 2020 by climatechangefork

Last week, I outlined some markers of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global energy transition and how that ties in with climate change in the long run. For instance, the global decrease in GDP and the resulting drop … 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 →
