From dropping the cost of renewable energy, to speeding up the electrification of home heating systems, McKinsey has identified eight ways to significantly decrease our reliance on fossil fuels by 2050.
Every year on Earth Day we learn how bad humanity's economic development is for the health of the planet. But maybe this is the wrong message. Maybe we shoul...
Making it harder to build more pipelines and gas-powered plants will help make the Green New Deal and a livable planet so much more possible.
The fossil fuel industry knows how to stop global warming, but they're waiting for someone else to pay, says climate science scholar Myles Allen. Instead of a total ban on carbon-emitting fuels, Allen puts forth a bold plan for oil and gas companies to progressively decarbonize themselves and sequester CO2 deep in the earth, with the aim of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and creating a carbon dioxide disposal industry that works for everyone.
Billions of aid dollars are spent on fossil fuel activity each year. Supporters say there is no alternative to getting some countries the energy they need to develop — but detractors say that is a poor excuse.

If solutions like the Green New Deal are to succeed, they must address the fundamental root of our climate crisis—the fossil fuel industry.
Scientists working for the fossil fuel industry knew about the potential warming effects of CO2 emissions as early as the 1950s.
Climate change activists are pushing for investors to get out of carbon polluters. What are the options for individuals using mutual funds?
At what point does a new technology cause an existing industry to start losing significant value? This may turn out to be the most important economic and political question of the first half of this century, and the answer might tell us much about our chances of getting through the climate crisis without completely destroying the planet.
Payal Parekh looks at the future of the global energy system.
The use of fossil fuels for our energy consumption is the single biggest contributor to anthropogenic climate change, with coal being the worst of them all. Instead of phasing out fossil fuel use, many governments are increasing their reliance on fossil fuels without thinking ahead.
It’s rare to come across such a tangible way to fight climate change.
Prices of fossil fuels may be plumbing multi-year lows, but that's not likely to keep them from being displaced by renewable energy, analysts said.
The largest U.S. fund managers have far more invested in coal, oil, and gas than companies with green revenue — but a few are bucking the…
If you think we’re doing a good job of curbing fossil fuel use, you're mistaken. Oil production is exploding in America. Growth in coal in the developing world shows no sign of slowing, and gas has kicked into high gear most everywhere. Renewables are increasing slower. Nuclear and hydro are flat.
Is it smart—or crazy stupid—to rely solely on wind, solar, and hydro? A bit about the 100 percent renewable energy debate.
Heavy dependence on oil, gas, and coal may dissipate sooner than you think as the infrastructure matures around alternative sources like wind and solar.
Inexpensive power enables technological marvels, and even global warming has positive effects.
As the world moves toward more renewable energy it starts phasing out fossil fuel. American Power and Gas is at the forefront of the movement. They have a real concern for the environment and the economy. American Power and Gas have begun work to improve renewable energy. They are working towards more sustainable and ..
