Pavel + 384 PP March 22, 2018 After three flat years that had hinted at a possible environmental breakthrough, carbon dioxide emissions from the use of energy rose again by 1.4 percent in 2017, according to new data released by the International Energy Agency. The increase in emissions of the all-important greenhouse gas came as global energy demand itself increased thanks to strong economic growth — and that demand was sated by all types of energy, including renewables but also oil, coal and natural gas. Most significant, the new report charges that there is still too much coal for the climate to handle, and change isn’t happening fast enough. Therefore, at the half-time of the game, the coal leads.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

franco + 96 FM March 22, 2018 Yep. And Asia is " the leader": "The IEA said Asian countries accounted for two thirds of the global increase in emissions. China’s emissions rose by 1.7 percent to 9.1 gigatons, limited by renewables deployment and more rapid switching to gas from coal." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YXK + 10 YX March 23, 2018 If the government really wanted to support renewables they should make coal companies pay for preventing the release of gases into the atmosphere. If this rule is imposed, I expect renewable energy stocks to jump quite a bit. It's time for our governments to look at renewable energy to supply our world's energy needs. 21 hours ago, Rodent said: And I know it might be super uncool to point it out, but the US was one of the few countries whose CO2 emissions dipped. I guess that's what you'll expect from a developed country. Many countries like India or China are still not developed enough to think about the harm they're causing to this world. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WaytoPeace + 62 PC March 23, 2018 Since there is no such thing as truly clean coal, the better alternative, if one is to use coal for power generation, is CO2 sequestration. The problem is that this would increase the cost such that if it is passed on to the consumer it would raise electricity prices by 20-30%. Natural gas produces half the greenhouse gas as does coal, provided methane release is controlled in the process, and therefore provides the best bridge source at the lowest cost. Unfortunately, Asia doesn’t have enough natural gas, and coal fired power plants are cheaper to build to meet the rapidly growing demand for electricity in that part of the world. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ronwagn + 6,290 April 28, 2018 Natural gas is the answer for affordable clean energy. It does not rely on subsidies. The only thing holding it back is that the oil companies find gasoline too profitable. Natural gas can fuel any ICE engine for cars, trucks, buses, locomotives, ships etc. See: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Yf0MWpo91vrlu-mmJtjB1ERukjJo5W41oi4RZVQBug/edit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
