China's Clean Energy Investment Puts America to Shame

Subsidies to industries such as wind or solar, no matter how small, take criticism from politicians and the media while the government continues to subsidizes oil, gas, coal, and nuclear production to the tune of billions of dollars each year. We neglect to account for externalities such as the cost of war ships keeping...

Despite significant growth in wind and solar, the average unit of energy emits about the same amount of carbon dioxide as it did 20 years ago, according to the International Energy Agency. That's largely because the continued growth of worldwide coal use offsets regional gains in renewable generation, the authors say. A separate Pew study finds investment in the clean energy...

Clean energy progress too slow to limit global warming, warns IEA
2013-04-17 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The development of low-carbon energy is progressing too slowly to limit global warming, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.

"The drive to clean up the world's energy system has stalled," said Maria van der Hoeven, the IEA's...
