Fossil Fuels Broke The Environment. Who Should Pay To Fix It?
Fossil fuels continue to dominate our lives even though they are causing harm to our communities. Isn’t it time to stop using them?

Zero emission electric vehicles (EVs) play a central role in radically cutting carbon dioxide emissions. As the dominance of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles wanes, legacy automakers are negotiating an existential transition. After all, they’ve been entrenched in decades of ICE production, and they need to pivot — quickly. Their … [continued]
A shocking new theory suggests that Big Oil could be criminally prosecuted for a number of climate crimes in state courts.
For several years I’ve been iterating The Short List of Climate Actions That Will Work. The work of organizations like Mark Z. Jacobson’s Stanford team around energy and Carbon Drawdown’s around everything are excellent in different ways, but also indigestible to most people. The short list really is that. It’s … [continued]
For the same energy inputs you could travel 3 times as far for a 5th the CO2 emissions and well under half the cost in an electric truck.
With a delicate hand, Anna Karion slides a large, enclosed box back into its protective shelf. She’s standing on top of a hill that overlooks the Washington D.C. area. This box, a greenhouse gas (GHG) sensor, is connected to a tube that runs up a tall, metal tower that is … [continued]
Here at CleanTechnica, we have written about electrifying personal watercraft and ferries — vessels used to cover short distances. Ocean-going cargo ships with all their containers are massive and need to travel much farther. It’s not possible to simply slap an enormous battery system and some electric motors in them … [continued]
What is it about hydrogen for trucking that leads researchers to deeply low-ball costs at every opportunity? I’ve tried to answer this question several times. In Germany, gruppendenken — groupthink — is clearly involved. With organizations like the ICCT, it appears a desperate attempt to make hydrogen work because they … [continued]
Carbon capture, direct air capture, and carbon direct removal are back in the hype cycle again, so yet again I’m looking at solutions that are technically interesting, if not remotely likely to scale. Under the microscope today is Vesta Earth, which is exploring olivine weathering as a beach sand supplementation … [continued]
Who is to blame that the world is off track to meet its climate goals? A major fossil fuel company yuckity-yuk says it’s you, Mr. and Ms. Public, because you can’t handle the cost transparency reality of making the transition to renewables. You heard it right. Darren Woods, chief executive … [continued]
