Clean energy advocates in North Carolina have won a major battle in the opening stages of a nationwide fossil fuel-funded war against renewable energy standards in America.
A bill that would have reduced (and ultimately ended) North Carolina’s system of renewable energy incentives was soundly defeated 18-13 in a state legislative committee this week.

I couldn’t come up with a better title than Joe Romm used on his post. This line is just such a kicker: “We Cannot Risk Our Kids’ Futures On The False Hope The Vast Majority Of Scientists Are Wrong.” That’s one we should all repeat daily. I simply put Adidas, eBay, and … [continued]
