Lawrence Solomon: The future of Pakistan
(June 6, 2011) Lawrence Solomon, Executive Director of Energy Probe, tackles the topic of Pakistan’s future. He advises seperating Pakistan into four seperate nations that are now confined within its borders. Without the federal government forcing different cultures to live together, the potential for conflict would be lessened. Continue reading

Lawrence Solomon: Better red than dead, better green than free
(May 30, 2011) During the Cold War between the Free World and the Communist USSR, many in the Free World argued it was better to be red than dead after nuclear Armageddon. Today, fearing the planet’s annihilation from another source – global warming — scientists in elite government circles in Germany are saying we’re better off green than free. Continue reading
Lawrence Solomon: More evidence it used to be really hot out there
(May 26, 2011) A linchpin in the global warming theory is the claim that we now live in a time of unprecedented warmth. Unfortunately for those who assert this theory, the history books all said it was hot during the centuries immediately before and after 1000 AD – the time known the Medieval Warm Period.

Lawrence Solomon: Go fish — wind developers forced to shut down to protect salmon stocks
(May 19, 2011) Wind farms not only threaten the landscape, they also threaten marine life, as wind developers in Washington State just learned to their dismay. The Bonneville Power Authority, a major power utility in the Columbia River system, has ordered wind producers feeding unwanted power into its grid to shut down their operations to protect salmon stock. Continue reading

Lawrence Solomon: Renewables now bigger than nuclear
(May 18, 2011) The world now has more renewable electricity capacity than nuclear capacity, according to a recent report from the Worldwatch Institute. According to its World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2010–2011, just four types of renewables — wind, small-scale hydro, solar, and biomass – accounted for 381 gigawatts (GW) of capacity at the end of 2010, edging past nuclear power’s 375 GW of capacity.

Lawrence Solomon: What Hudak failed to say
(May 11, 2011) In a much ballyhooed speech yesterday, would-be Ontario Premier Tim Hudak promised to kill the financing method that Premier Dalton McGuinty uses to build wind turbines. But Hudak doesn’t promise to kill wind turbines. He merely proposes some alternative financing method, not yet described, to bring Ontarians more wind turbines. Hudak’s wind turbines will also be uneconomic, just less so than McGuinty’s. Continue reading

Lawrence Solomon: Are high CO2 levels again saving the Amazon Forest?
(May 9, 2011) The Amazon Forest – often called the lungs of the Earth – suffered a large drought in 2005 and an even larger one in 2010, devastating populations of river dolphins and other species and leading many climate scientists to fear the worst. Continue reading
