China says that carbon emissions have peaked and are expected to decline within the next year or two. It is worth noting that developed countries emissions typically peak and then decline as technology in industry advances. According to the International Energy Agency, China accounts for 60% of all new solar and wind power installations. 

When two scientists went looking for fossil fuels beneath the ground of northeastern France, they did not expect to discover something which could supercharge efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

Spear hundreds of 300m high wind turbines into ocean environments and it’s only natural that that environment changes. Downwind air currents are cut and buffeted by the blades of turbines up wind. The phenomenon known as ‘wake turbulence’ reduces output from each turbine within a cluster of turbines, because it reduces and interferes with wind…

Activists keep pushing to declare a climate emergency: Over the past three years I have found myself increasingly nodding my head in agreement with my conspiracy theorist friends. That is largely because we have observed that it is becoming more frequent that the distance between a conspiracy theory and reality with the Administration is about 90 days. So, when the social media chatter considerably ramps up about the dire need to declare a “Climate Emergency” I sit up and pay attention.

Some energy industry groups are expressing concern that the White House will declare a COVID-19-lik

Pandemic, war, climate change dominate discussions at recent IGC Conference.

I have been trying to say this based on the U.S. requirement of a 100 Quadrillion Btus of energy. Impossible to replace with the current 5% of wind and solar…

It must be repeated, every day: nuclear provides the largest energy output with the lowest natural resources input and the lowest overall footprint. Data here:

Is the public finally waking up to the inherent absurdities taking place in the energy space in the U.S. and across the Western world in recent years? Recent votes taken on ESG and climate change-related shareholder initiatives at major oil company annual board meetings indicate that may well be the case.

Here is this week's Holliday Environmental/Climate Newsletter. There are some excellent articles on science based analysis of the wildfires in Canada, the…

Plastering the landscape with wind turbines for producing renewable energy may lead to regional drought. Germany has so far installed over 30,000 wind turbines, which is about 1 every 11 sq. km. Plans are calling for doubling or even tripling wind power capacity.

Australia can save the world by reducing its emissions, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“The crowd that loves to lecture us on the science … they show a dim understanding of engineering reality,” Ms Credlin said.
