Jean-Marc Jancovici: “Our Global Energy Predicament”
On this episode, Nate is joined by well-known French educator Jean-Marc Jancovici to discuss the critical importance of energy to modern economies.
fossil fuel dependence
The Planet Will Warm Past 1.5°C. What Now?
The challenge now is to limit the depth and duration of the 1.5°C overshoot and thus the destruction that occurs during and after it.
The Heinberg Pulse
I do not believe we can have a non-violent, non-insurrectionary revolution of the kind which is necessary without grounding our revolutionary praxis in our neighborhoods.
The Shift from Pink to Green in Latin America
Latin America as a whole needs to transition from fossil fuels and the United States could speed that process by supporting a regional Green infrastructure fund.
A Year of War: An Energy Justice Take on Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
Putin’s war has exposed the fact that nations that lack access to affordable energy and those that are most dependent on fossil fuels are vulnerable.
Will Putin’s War Be the Last Fought Over Fossil Fuels or Just the Next In Line?
The simple truth is this — there are no quick solutions to the fossil fuel bind that Western allies have gotten themselves into through crappy planning.
The Oil and Gas Industry is Using the War in Ukraine to Profit and Push Its Interests
In Europe, oil and gas companies are profiting off higher energy prices, and in the United States, Big Oil CEOs are “billions of dollars richer” than they were at the start of the Biden administration.
An alternative energy strategy to stimulate rapid transition
Now’s the opportunity to insist – fiercely and unapologetically – that we want a rapid transition and we want the benefits to be shared by all.
War in Ukraine – Food Fight in the EU
So now that we have the evidence of the risk of excessive reliance on feeds, fertilizers and fossil fuels – what are we going to do to adjust to this reality?
In a rush to replace Russian gas, the EU has damaged its own climate change strategy
The European Union’s recent proposals to end imports of Russian gas before 2030 in the wake of the Ukraine invasion are blighted by the bloc’s support for unnecessary and expensive technologies.
After the Ukraine Invasion: Sobering New Global Energy-Economic-Political Terrain
We are, in short, living through a moment that may be as politically and economically transformative as the World Wars of the 20th century, though with little likelihood of an outcome anywhere near as desirable as the boom decades of the 1920s or 1950s.
Russia-Ukraine War and the Changing Energy Landscape
Moreover, some degree of decentralisation of our energy system would contribute to local and regional energy resilience, thus providing a necessary buffer against the many storms of a changing global climate that are likely to prevail upon us.
