By opposing Keystone, greens are forcing Canadian crude to find its way to market by rail, a much more dangerous option. A new report finds that oil-by-rail accidents could lead to more than 400 deaths and nearly 3,000 injuries over the next decade.

Here’s proof of the madness that is America’s biofuel policy in one graph. According to the EIA’s latest Annual Energy Outlook, our projected ethanol consumption will remain well, well below the levels required by the 2007 Renewable Fuel Standard.

Apocalyptic warnings about climate doom may help greens capture public attention, but they also generate “denialism, fatalism, and polarization.”

Biofuels were sold as a renewable, non-emitting energy source, when on balance the anachronistic energy source does more harm to the environment than good.

The long-awaited State Department report on Keystone XL was released last Friday, and it confirmed what common sense already told us: Building this pipeline won’t significantly affect emissions. What that means for the feckless green movement depends on how it interprets defeat.

A new piece by the ever outspoken Bill McKibben, co-written with Mike Tidwell, encapsulates the shortcomings of the modern green movement. It has everything you might expect from a piece co-written by one of the leaders of the environmental movement: lurid imagery, emotionally charged NIMBY-ism, mangled science, and a detachment from the considerations that ultimately go into energy decision-making.
