Here’s Another Argument For Renewable Energy: No More Wars For Oil
Critics of renewable energy claim transitioning away from fossil fuels will be too expensive. But what about the cost of continuing to base the global economy on oil?
When Will Renewable Energy Prices Stop Dropping?
Some people have asked when the prices will stop falling.

New Research Shows That Only Two Large Petroleum Companies Have Meaningful Emission Reduction Targets
New research from the Transition Pathway Initiative dug into the world’s ten largest public oil and gas companies to develop a bottom-up picture of their long term emissions glide paths and came back with some not-so-surprising conclusions.

The Fossil Fuel Energy Industry Is Now Entering Terminal Decline
Originally published on RenewEconomy. By Paul Gilding It’s time to make the call – fossil fuels are finished. The rest is detail. The detail is interesting and important, as I expand on below. But unless we recognise the central proposition: that the fossil fuel age is coming to an end, … [continued]
Oil Can’t Match Solar On Cost, Even At $10/Barrel
Originally published on RenewEconomy. One of the biggest banks in the Middle East and the oil-rich Gulf countries says that fossil fuels can no longer compete with solar technologies on price, and says the vast bulk of the $US48 trillion needed to meet global power demand over the next two … [continued]
