Climate-Science Deniers, Right-Wing Think Tanks, and Fossil Fuel Shills Are Plotting Against the Clean Energy Transition

14. Which "energy transition" is that?

The one that's promoted by the petroleum and gas industry?

Those industries seem to be thriving and their long term prospects are good, even in places that support aggressive renewable energy programs.

Hybrid gas/wind/solar energy systems are a threat to the coal industry, which explains most of the politics, especially in places like Germany and U.S.A coal producing regions.

Regions that have rejected coal can throw up a bunch of wind turbines and solar panels and pretend to be "green."

We'll never be green until we abandon our automobile culture. We need to transform our cities into attractive affordable places where car ownership is unnecessary. Many cities are now attractive, so very attractive in fact that they are not affordable.
