In reality, studies show that investments to spur renewable energy and boost energy efficiency generate far more jobs than oil and coal.
Jeff Goodell
Obama wants to be thought of as the president who freed us from foreign oil. But if he doesn't show some political courage, he may well be remembered as the president who cooked the planet.
Jeff Goodell
From the industry's point of view, the problem is not that coal companies blast the top off mountains, turning the area into a moonscape and polluting the air and releasing toxic chemical into what's left of the local streams and aquifers. It's that the people who live near the mines are too cozy with their cousins.
Jeff Goodell
The biggest tab the public picks up for fossil fuels has to do with what economists call 'external costs,' like the health effects of air and water pollution.
Jeff Goodell
Obama's record on climate issues is not all bad.

When it comes to climate and energy, Gates is a radical consumerist. In his view, energy consumption is good - it just needs to be clean energy.
Jeff Goodell
President Obama is in no danger of being judged by history as an eco-radical.

Compared to coal, which generates almost half the electricity in the United States, natural gas is indeed a cleaner, less polluting fuel. But compared to, say, solar, it's filthy. And of course there is nothing renewable about natural gas.

You gotta love Rick Perry's swagger. The Texas Governor is out there in the Iowa cornfields, unabashedly going to toe-to-toe with President Obama, doing his best to instantly cast himself as the big dog in the Republican pack.
Jeff Goodell
In the United States, we do a pretty good job of protecting iconic landscapes and postcard views, but the ocean gets no respect.

One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won't jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.
Jeff Goodell
When it comes to energy, cost isn't everything - but it's a lot. Everybody wants cheap power.
Jeff Goodell
Climate scientists have long pointed to the Southwest as one of the places in the U.S. that is most vulnerable to global warming impacts, especially drought. And if there's one thing that even climate denialists don't dispute, dry things burn.
Jeff Goodell
Bloomberg is famously impatient with beltway politics and believes that to get anything done you need to work from the ground up.
Jeff Goodell
One thing you can say about nuclear power: the people who believe it is the silver bullet for America's energy problems never give up.
Jeff Goodell
It's not all Obama's fault: His plans to rebuild America's energy infrastructure have been hampered by the recession, and his efforts on global warming have been stymied by Tea Party wackos and weak-kneed Democrats in Congress.
Jeff Goodell
Some studies have shown that natural gas could, in fact, be worse for the climate than coal.
Jeff Goodell
If we drill the hell out of everything, including protected public lands and fragile regions like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, America can emerge as an 'energy superpower.'
Jeff Goodell
Ethanol doesn't burn cleaner than gasoline, nor is it cheaper.

So if you want to know how Exxon Mobil can make $10 billion profit in 90 days, just look around. The whole world was built for them.
