Coal stockpiles at U.S. electric power plants totaled 138 million short tons at the end of May, the most since the first half of 2020 when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced electricity demand and coal consumption. In the United States, coal is typically consumed by power plants following … [continued]

Recently I published on the International Maritime Organization’s commitment to introduce carbon pricing for all maritime shipping in 2028. One of the comments echoed something I’d seen elsewhere, the odd premise that this would drive freight to much higher emissions airplanes, and hence be counterproductive from a climate perspective. The … [continued]

In my regularly iterated Short List of Climate Actions That Will Work, there’s a big broom: Price Carbon Aggressively. In the maritime shipping world, it would be a big trawler net that scoops up emissions regardless of technology, allowing the market to figure out the cheapest way to achieve decarbonization. … [continued]

Joe Manchin has made a pretty good living from the coal industry. For decades, he has reaped enormous profits from a company he founded that sells gob — a particularly dirty kind of coal left over from mining operations — to the very few thermal generating plants that still burn … [continued]

Editor’s note: Unfortunately, we’re already seeing examples of global heating leading to the burning of more fossil fuels, which of course is creating more global heating. It’s a vicious cycle. Here’s the latest example. U.S. power plant operators generated 6.9 million megawatthours (MWh) of electricity from natural gas on a … [continued]
