Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) are expected to outline climate legislation on Thursday morning, which will include a tax on carbon emissions.

President: Warming-Driven Extreme Weather Demands We “Act Before It?s Too Late.” Below are Obama’s extensive remarks on energy and climate in his State of the Union address. The President has expanded on his strong remarks in his Second Inaugural, asserting “if Congress won?t act soon to protect future generations, I will.” Below the jump is the energy portion of his just-released …

First the bad news, via a tweet from CNN White House Correspondent Brianna Keilar: Pres. Obama will NOT announce regs on carbon emissions for existing power plants in the SOTU, per sr. admin official. The good news is I have a brand new drinking game. And the “ugly” news is below the jump: All the climate mentions from State of the Union addresses …

Kulluk oil rig after running aground near Alaska. (Photo: U.S. Coast Guard) By Kiley Kroh As the question of whether to move forward with high-risk Arctic offshore drilling in 2013 looms large, there?s a chance Shell Oil may take that decision out of the Obama administration?s hands. In another costly setback to its long and problem-filled quest to drill for oil …

FDR in his Annual Message to Congress, January 3, 1938, said: Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: In addressing the Congress on the state of the Union present facts and future hazards demand that I speak clearly and earnestly of the causes which underlie events of profound concern to all…. The first great force, …

#ForwardOnClimate Watching the Grammy’s made me wish climate hawks had an anthem. So let’s set the world on fire. We can burn brighter Than the sun. OK, maybe listening to Fun.’s “We Are Young” and “Some Nights” and ”Carry On” over and over again since Sunday night has carried me away a bit, but I know what I stand for, and it …

We’ve known for a while that “permafrost” was a misnomer (see “Thawing permafrost feedback will turn Arctic from carbon sink to source in the 2020s” and links below). The defrosting permamelt will likely add 0.4°F ? 1.5°F to total global warming by 2100. A new study, “Surface exposure to sunlight stimulates CO2 release from permafrost soil carbon in the Arctic” suggests …

After the State of the Union, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), will deliver the Republican response, where he will likely repackage many of the same dirty energy policies that lost spectacularly among voters in 2012. Although Rubio was dubbed by TIME magazine a “new voice of the GOP,” the presidential hopeful sounds no different from the old party — particularly his positions …

With the State of the Union speech coming tonight, environmental groups are hoping President Obama will call for a big push to tackle climate change by bringing the powers of the executive office to bear on the problem. [The Hill] ?We are hoping to see some more substance on exactly what the president?s plan will be like, be it on the …

While global investment in clean energy fell by 11 percent in 2012, the dip still left last year as the second most successful year ever for the sector. And despite the speed bump, the planet’s installed capacity to generate wind power shot up from 238 gigawatts to slightly more than 282 gigawatts last year, according to numbers compiled by the Global …

By Brendan DeMille via DeSmogBlog A new academic study confirms that front groups with longstanding ties to the tobacco industry and the billionaire Koch brothers planned the formation of the Tea Party movement more than a decade before it exploded onto the U.S. political scene. Far from a genuine grassroots uprising, this astroturf effort was curated by wealthy industrialists years in advance. …

By Melanie Hart via CAP. The PDF has all citations. In President Barack Obama?s first term, economic issues were often a source of friction between the United States and China, particularly regarding clean energy. But things started off relatively well a few years ago: President Obama made his first trip to China as president of the United States in November 2009, …

Obama surprised almost everyone when he channeled his inner climate hawk in his powerful second inaugural address. Now everyone is wondering what he will say in his State of the Union address Tuesday. This weekend, the Washington Post editorial board weighed in: President Obama will deliver his 2013 State of the Union address on Tuesday, and expectations are high that he …

The price of solar photovoltaics (PV) modules continue to decline. Dan Lashof via NRDC’s Switchboard Last July I published an issue brief called Closer than You Think, pointing out that U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in 2011 were lower than many people realized?about 9 percent below their 2005/2007 peak?putting President Obama?s 17-percent-below -2005-levels reduction target within reach. Since then recognition that U.S. …

Battery innovation is improving around 5 to 8 percent per year, which can deliver a doubling in core performance metrics for electric cars every ten years. [Gigaom] While battery innovation appears gradual, the incremental leaps add up over time.

Obama has now framed climate action and inaction in moral terms, as a betrayal of future generations. So it seemed like a good time to run this (slightly) updated repost, which explains why our inaction is indeed sich a betrayal. That — and it’s my own daughter’s six birthday. Fundamentally, homo “sapiens” sapiens has constructed the grandest of Ponzi schemes, whereby …

According to the latest research from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, electricity from wind power can now be supplied more cheaply in Australia than power from either coal or natural gas — and solar and other forms of renewable energy aren’t far behind. Older coal-fired power plants from the 70s and 80s still compete at lower prices than renewables — but only …
