It is becoming embarrassing to witness how very stupid the Speaker of the House is. She advocates for natural gas as opposed to fossil fuels not knowing that natural gas is a fossil fuel that is usually found when and where drilling for oil takes place. It would, however, seem that her concern for the natural environment was a bit undercut when she insisted that the military equivalent of a 757 be...

Yes, they really do exist. Subsidies for the use of fossil fuels. Obviously this is insane when we’ve also got huge subsidies for the use of non-fossil fuels. The thing is though, it’s different countries offering the different subsidies. It’s the rich western countries subsidising non-fossil while the fossil fuel subsidies are all in poor

Geoffrey Lean: Reducing consumption of fossil fuels saves money Sadly it’s all a little more complex than that: if that’s all there were to it then we’d all be cutting our consumption of fossil fuels and there wouldn’t be any problem, would there? We can reduce our consumption of fossil fuels, of course: if we decide to reduce

Unconventional fuels, that is gas or oil from coal, shale and tar sands are a bit helpful for security of supply but about the worst thing going for the environement. How much energy do we get for every pound of carbon we send into the atmosphere? Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, meaning they consist of atoms of

However, fossil fuel addiction can be solved only when we recognise an economic law as certain as the law of gravity: as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy they will be used. Solution therefore requires a rising fee on oil, gas and coal – a carbon fee collected from

I thought I would share some recent correspondence I had with the Labour PPC for Charnwood Eric Goodyer on the subject of Oil and Gas Security:- Good morning Roger I hope that you are well. Putting aside our differences on renewable energy, I have a question for you on fossil fuels. How would you propose to ensure

Greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels such as palm oil, soybean and rapeseed are higher than those for fossil fuels when the effects of Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) are counted, according to leaked EU data seen by EurActiv. More »
