The recent pause in global warming took many by surprise—a result of a failure to communicate the vagaries of climate science. Greens oversimplify this problem to their detriment.

Researchers from all around the world are gathered in France to tackle the great energy dream: nuclear fusion. Our energy future is a lot less gloomy than Malthusians would like you to believe.

The Department of Transportation issued new rules this week requiring companies to test and classify the oil they ship by rail. That’s a step in the right direction, but we should really be building out our pipeline infrastructure to handle our new sources of crude.

Vast reserves of offshore gas and newly discovered onshore oil shale fields have rapidly transformed the energy debate in Israel. Abundance may be preferable to scarcity, but it brings with it a host of new questions.

It’s that time of year again—when smog blankets China’s megacities in a toxic shroud as coal plants work overtime to heat Chinese homes. Beijing’s leadership is taking measures to address the problem in the short-term, but it needs to address the root of the problem.

The Nebraska agency in charge of reviewing the Keystone pipeline’s path through the state has a history of corruption allegations and precious little oil pipeline experience.

Japanese PM Shinzo Abe unveiled a national energy plan that includes nuclear as an “important baseload electricity source.” This won’t go over well with those still haunted by the catastrophe at Fukushima, but it could go a long way towards reducing Japan’s significant trade deficit.

America is sitting pretty when it comes to natural gas, and its allies are keen on joining in. By opening up America’s gas for export, the United States can help boost not only its allies’ energy security but its clout in both Europe and Asia too.

The Earth isn’t warming as fast as our best scientists thought it would, and a group of scientists think they know why: volcanoes. Climate change may be real, but climate models—upon which green policies like the Global Climate Treaty are predicated—are very far from “settled science.”

Good evening, TAI readers! We hope you’ve had a productive weekend. As you prepare for the week ahead, take some time to look back on some stories you may have missed over the past week:
