“Extra” Terrestrial
by Tucker Eskew
July 21st, 2008

Have you read my fellow Terra Rossa blogger William Tucker’s opinion piece in today’s Wall Street Journal?
Lots to like here.

He says it should be one of the solutions to climate change and our growing energy demand.
Says the Europeans are both [...]

by Tucker Eskew
July 16th, 2008

Exelon, America’s largest electric power utility, just made some big news. The Chicago-based company wants to significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
“In a bid to shape the debate on carbon dioxide rules and to get a jump on compliance,” according to the NY Times, Exelon will reduce, offset, or displace all of its greenhouse gas [...]

Exelon Excels
by Whit Ayres
July 15th, 2008

In my last post, I talked about how a Georgia judge revoked the air pollution permit or a proposed coal-fired power plant because it failed to include standards for carbon emissions. In that post, I spoke to the need for some sort of standard so that power companies know what to expect when applying [...]

Winds of Change Are Blowin’
by Tucker Eskew
July 8th, 2008

When a long-time Texas oilman says the U.S. needs to use less oil, you know we’ve reached a tipping point. But that’s exactly what GOP supporter and legendary oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens is urging in his Pickens Plan to cut U.S. oil dependency by greatly expanding the use of wind energy.
“America is in [...]

by Whit Ayres
July 3rd, 2008

The New York Times reports today about a proposed coal-fired power plant’s air pollution permit being revoked by a state judge because it did not set limits on carbon dioxide emissions — according to the article, “the first time a court decision had linked carbon dioxide to an air pollution permit.”
I’m not sure sure where [...]

GOP Govs. Continue to Lead on Climate
by Tucker Eskew
July 2nd, 2008

Fret not, Terra Rossa readers. Republican governors seem undeterred by recent inaction on climate legislation by the U.S. Senate.
Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, the newly elected chairman of the Western Governors Association, said this weekend he plans to continue the WGA’s work on climate and even wants to “reach overseas to address climate change and [...]

Council on Foreign Relations Urges US Action on Climate
by Tucker Eskew
June 26th, 2008

Here’s some interesting news that didn’t get widely reported, except for an editorial in the Washington Post.
An independent task force commissioned by the influential Council on Foreign Relations just released a report that urges an “overhaul of U.S. domestic and foreign policy to confront the challenge” of climate change. One of the task force’s [...]

To limit pollution and reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources we should:

Implement a market-based ‘Cap and Trade’ solution
Increase taxes and government subsidies
Buy tickets to see Leo’s latest flop
Do nothing and hope it will get better
Undecided, but we do need to find a solution
