This post was originally published on the Law and Political Economy blog as part of a symposium on inflation. In fact, it is abundantly clear that this is a fossil fuel energy crisis and, primarily, a naturalgas crisis that is mainly affecting Europe. But these prices are still way below their highs in 1979-80 and 2007-08.
Take Action: Tell Enbridge shareholders that you care about climate change and want Enbridge to stop lying about the cost and climate pollution associated with gas. He’s perfected the art of spinning “natural” gas, a fossil fuel, and liquified naturalgas (LNG) as transition fuels, despite a thorough debunking.

I'll talk just a tiny bit about background on Marcellus [Shale gas], most people here probably don't need that, but just to get us started, and then I will talk a bit about distributive environmental injustice, the measure of deprivation that we use, community socioeconomic deprivation, and then results from this study. Likely not.
During the four days of emergency operations during the cold snap, from early February 15th to midnight February 18th, output levels of nuclear, naturalgas, coal, and wind to the grid were 79.3 For naturalgas it was 40%, or 46% based on winter adequacy expectations. percent, 47.4 percent, 51.5 percent, and 13.7
The first unconventional shale gas well was drilled in the Lycoming Watershed in May 2007. The field teams also recorded naturalgas leaks from compressor stations and naturalgas processing facilities in the watershed. Click Here to sign up for regular updates. Williams, Esq.,
However, with the oil crisis in the rear-view mirror, then-President Ronald Reagan acceded to requests from Ford and General Motors to reduce fuel economy standards for a few years, and the political will to strengthen the program petered out. Additionally, there are incentives for naturalgas vehicles and electric vehicles.
The most galling proposals are the $50 million per year in annual tax breaks to create a program to convert fracked naturalgas into hydrogen and an additional $30 million per year in tax breaks for petrochemical and fertilizer manufacturers. Working class people can't possibly compete against that kind of political clout.
We know that, for children living, and pregnant mothers living close by well pads or other naturalgas facilities, that they suffer tremendous amount of health impacts, from birth defects, to lower birth weight, to exposure to cancer-causing VOCs and other toxins; it's a problem.
4] Meanwhile, many experts see in recent trends an inevitable transition away from coal and nuclear power plants, designed to function as baseload capacity, toward variable renewable energy sources with just-in-time naturalgas back-up. 20] Electricity prices in Germany have risen 50 percent in the 15 years since 2007.

Renewables contributed to electricity prices rising six times more in California than in the rest of the US since 2011, the state’s “take-off” year for rapid growth in wind and solar, a price rise that occurred despite the state’s reliance during the same years on persistently-low-priced naturalgas.
Also elephants, giraffes, rhinos (of the non-political variety), Cape buffalo, baboons, uninvited monkeys at lunch, hippos, wildebeests, hyenas, warthogs and an unexpected (to me) penguin colony. A fall trip to South Africa, followed closely by the holidays, made October-December something of a blur. African Penguin: The Cape.

In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi after that hearing I noted that I am aware that Congressional hearings involve some political theater. However, I am not a political appointee. I did not expect to be drawn into political theater that violates basic civility. That may be the case. I do not represent a large trade association.

Three key takeaways from the court’s decision: The Court did not rule that EPA lacks authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants or other sources. A 2007 Supreme Court decision ( Massachusetts v. A shift in power generation from coal to naturalgas-fired plants; and 3. Citations omitted.]
But in nearly every instance, Rose listened politely, refrained from challenging Tillerson on the facts, and went on to his next question. At the same time, however, the company has continued to expand oil and gas development and fund climate science denier groups that undermine efforts to address climate change.
In a craven denial of climate impacts amid the political influence of oil, gas and coal companies, the court put children in the firing line of fossil fuel pollution and climate change, rather than rescue them from harm’s way. The Supreme Court is ignoring the science on health.
Pursuant to the text of Clean Air Act Section 202 , along with a 2007 case entitled Massachusetts v. EPA , EPA is statutorily required to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles once a determination such as the Endangerment Finding is reached.
Today, the Supreme Court decided its most important environmental case since 2007. The key point to notice is that the Clean Power Plan did not limit itself to measures that could be implemented at a particular coal or naturalgas power plant. We didn’t dodge the bullet. Today, the other shoe fell. The Ruling.
At a recent victory tour rally in West Allis, Wisconsin President-elect Trump succinctly stated his energy policy: “On energy we will cancel the restrictions on the destruction of American energy, including shale, naturalgas and clean beautiful coal.”.
