  • Energy Affordability+, Not Energy Dominance

    Two of the most significant dates in my life as a progressive activist and organizer are April 4, 1968 and August of 2003. The 1968 date is the day Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed. His killing pushed me to finally do something about racial injustice and the Vietnam War rather than just reading and […]

  • Competing for Emissions: The COP Candidate Contest

    It’s so silly as to be depraved. Two countries, hardly exemplary when it comes to their environmental credentials, vying for hosting rights to an event that does more to emit greenhouse gases than it resolves to limiting them. But this is exactly what Australia and Türkiye are doing regarding the Conference of Parties (COP) for […]

    The Battery Belt: When the Sun Touches the Silk

    Nako Dost Muhammad (image on left) had never heard the hum of a fan.

    Are Albertans Striving to Leaving Canada?

    The idea to separate from Canada appeared with the Social Credit Party of Alberta in 1930s, but it failed to win widespread support there and then. Separatist sentiment in the province strengthened only in 1980s, after the Canadian government introduced the National Energy Program trying to tighten federal control over the sector.

  • Ironic Dependency: Russian Uranium and the US Energy Market

    Be careful who you condemn and ostracise.  They just might be supplying you with a special need.  While the United States security establishment deems Russia the devil incarnate helped along by aspiring, mischief-making China, that devil continues supplying the US energy market with enriched uranium. This dependency has irked the self-sufficiency patriots in Washington, especially […]

  • Billionaires’ Own US Climate Policy

    Billions of dollars will buy almost anything anybody wants, and on November 5 billions of dollars bought the world’s leading climate-skeptical political administration, aka: the Trump Administration, which is anti-almost-everything, except for a free reign to the almighty market. Price determines policy, and it buys political office. According to Americans for Tax Fairness, 150 billionaire […]
