Labour would still honour existing licenses to drill for fossil fuels.
Domestic use of natural gas is a minimal contributor to overall greenhouse emissions. There should be no rush to ban it before better, cheaper options are in place.
After the Supreme Court overturned the Obama administration’s strategy for reducing power plant carbon emissions in 2022, the Biden administration is taking a narrower but still ambitious approach.
Hydrogen is getting a lot of attention as the EPA prepares to propose new emissions rules for power plants. But it has a problem: almost all of it used today is made from fossil fuels.
Over a decade of protest led to the banning of fuel exploration in New Zealand waters. As this extract from a new book explains, that ‘win’ is still precarious and may depend on the election result.
Changes to the petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT) are long overdue, but Labor’s modest attempt at reform represents a missed opportunity.
The government is considering blending hydrogen into the UK gas network.
Governments are more than regulators — they are also major greenhouse gas emitters.
Reducing gas use in our homes will help avoid energy price hikes. But where is the best place to start?

Texas wasn’t prepared to keep the lights on during Winter Storm Uri, and it won’t be ready for future cold weather unless it starts thinking about energy demand as well as supply.
New Zealand is considering a plan to tax methane from cows. But while cows and cars both emit greenhouse gases, they don’t have the same impact over time.
China is expanding its relationship with the Taliban as a way of addressing its needs for increased energy supply.
Energy companies have marketed natural gas as cooks’ favorite for years because homes with gas hookups will also use it for space and water heating.
Without energy market reform, expensive gas will have few upsides.
For the first time, Australia has moved to cap natural gas prices in a bid to stop energy price pain. Is the cap too high – or was it necessary to mollify the producers?
A leading climate scientist explains why going over 1.5 degrees Celsius puts the world in a danger zone.
Developed nations threaten to consume more than their fair share of Earth’s dwindling carbon budget.
Saying that the climate problem is complex is false, and a distraction from what we know needs to be done.
