Debunking Manhattan Institute’s “The ‘New Energy Economy’: An Exercise In Magical Thinking” — Part One
I was discussing the dramatic drop in coal use in the US and the dramatic rise in renewable energy production and one of my many conservative friends* referred me to this report to explain why physics proves that there is no way we can transition to renewable sources affordably, that all the innovation is coming on the fossil fuel side, and that renewables have hit a brick wall and won’t be improving much at all.
UK Halts All Fracking Operations In The Country
The UK has imposed a moratorium on shale gas fracking in the country effective immediately, dealing a stunning blow to the shale gas industry.
New Research Points To Fracking As Cause Of Spikes In Atmospheric Methane
Researchers at Cornell are able to prove that much of the increased methane in the atmosphere comes from fracking operations. Now that we know, what will we do about it?

Trump Maladministration Claims America No Longer Needs To Conserve Oil
The Energy Department is fully onboard with the rollback of fuel economy standards by the Trumpeters, saying in a memo that America has so much domestically produced oil it doesn’t need to conserve it any longer. Oh, happy day!
Talk About “Losing Money” — US Shale Gas Will Crash … Hard
With fracking about to recommence in the UK after 8 years, social entrepreneur and writer Jeremy Leggett reviews the short but troubled history of fracking in the US. In a devastating slide presentation, he pictures the shale gas industry as a dirty, multi-hundred-billion-dollar doomed-to-burst debt bubble. And he predicts a similar fiasco in the UK.
Fossil Fuel Companies Will Invest $180 Billion In New Plastics Feedstock Facilities
An abundant supply of cheap shale gas from fracking is driving a boom in plastics production worldwide, threatening the environment with more than 34 billion tons of plastic waste.
Time To Give The Chop To Fracking: Fraxit Now!
Plans for onshore shale gas extraction – or rather high volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) or fracking – are proving to be somewhat explosive in the UK.
Yet Another Coal Vs. Shale Gas Study Confirms Fossil Industry Cannibalizes Self
Yet another study confirms the US coal industry collapsed mainly due to competition from cheap natural gas, not from pesky meddling by EPA.
