By Michele • Jun 10th, 2010

Peak Energy Vs. Climate Change: Stupidest Debate Ever

By Sharon • Nov 16th, 2009

Kjell Aleklett should really pretty much stop talking about climate change, because he looks like a fool when he does.  And that’s not a good thing, given that he’s not one - on energy he’s done deeply important work, and I’d hate to see people dismiss it because he says dumb things about the climate.
Here’s a good example […]

Does Richard Heinberg Ever Sleep?

By Sharon • Nov 15th, 2009

So there’s his new coal book, which I haven’t even had a chance to finish my review of, and now Heinberg and Jerry Mander have put together an analysis the possibilities of *any* energy resource to meet needs to 2100?!?!  The man writes books and major papers faster than I read them – and I have […]
