Fuel Economy Labels for New Cars by Ken Johnson. The Fed’s (EPA and NHTSA) are designing new fuel economy labels for cars, for the first time in 30 years, and they want you to help them with the design. (My two-cents worth, elaborated below, are cross-posted on Legal Planet.)The draft design includes the following elements:(1) a big prominent letter grade for fuel economy and emissions performance, on a scale of A+ to D (with B- being more-or-less average)(2) five-year ..

The Climate Post: Will the “dead” climate bill become a federal renewable energy standard? by Christopher Mims. It’s over: Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) has conceded the primary race to her opponent, Joe Miller. Murkowski and three other Republicans will be leaving the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which means new leadership and four open seats for the group tasked with dealing with just about everything readers of The Climate Post care about. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry R..

Carly Fiorina fumbles on Prop 23 issue during California Senate debate by Joseph Romm. Poor Carly Fiorina. To make conservative ideologues happy, she has to abandon science and her previous positions on the key issues of global warming and clean energy. But to win election statewide, she has to appeal to the majority of California voters, who understand that clean energy is the key to the state’s long-term economic and job growth—and that unrestricted emissions of greenhouse gases will devastate ..

BP spill costs hit $8 billion as crews unearth clues by Agence France-Presse. WASHINGTON—British oil giant BP revealed on Friday that it has so far spent $8 billion to battle the Gulf of Mexico disaster. At the same time, its crews worked to retrieve key evidence about the spill from the seabed. Robotic submarines recorded the delicate operation as engineers sought to raise a failed blowout preventer from the sunken rig to the surface and hand it over to the Justice Department. The U.S. ..

Koch brothers jump into Prop 23 fight by Todd Woody. A company controlled by the billionaire Koch brothers, who have bankrolled numerous right-wing causes, has donated $1 million to the campaign to pass Proposition 23, the California ballot initiative that would suspend the state’s global-warming law. The contribution was made Thursday and came from Flint Hills Resources, a Kansas petrochemical company that is a subsidiary of Koch Industries. The Koch brothers were the subj..

California bags the plastic bag ban but makes solar leap by Todd Woody. The California Legislature started out the week in the green by passing the nation’s first energy storage bill. But legislators quickly ran into the red Wednesday when they failed to approve legislation to impose a statewide ban on plastic bags, or to codify Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s (R) executive order that utilities obtain a third of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. But don’t go crying i..

Mariner Energy cited for two violations in past six months, totaling $55,000 by Joseph Romm. I know that you are shocked, shocked to learn the owner of the offshore oil and gas platform that exploded yesterday in the Gulf of Mexico had two violations just this year from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s Outer Continental Shelf Civil and Criminal Penalties Program. This not terribly surprising story is brought to you by Think Progress: The Vermilion Oil Rig 360, owned by Mariner Energy—which was r..

The environmentalist’s paradox: we do better while the earth does worse by David Roberts. Brad Plumer has a great post on why humanity seems to be doing relatively well even though the environment is falling apart. The same subject’s been on my mind since I read a piece by Foreign Policy editor Charles Kenny a few days ago called “Best. Decade. Ever.” His argument is pretty simple: More people have more money, better health, more mobility, more food, and more security than ever before in human h..

Latest Gulf oil well explosion was no disaster, but what does it say about offshore drilling? by Randy Rieland. If we hadn’t spent the summer watching crude gush into the Gulf, no one outside the industry would have noticed or cared much about Thursday’s explosion on a Mariner Energy oil platform.  No serious injuries, no spreading slick. But everyone did notice, and it reminded us that no matter how much BP and the rest of Big Oil say they’ve learned from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, offshore drilling remains..

Explosion on Gulf of Mexico oil platform contained, but damage unknown by Agence France-Presse. NEW ORLEANS—An oil platform explosion Thursday in the Gulf of Mexico forced the crew to dive into the sea and threatened further damage to waters still recovering from the BP disaster. Fire engulfed the offshore platform 100 miles south of the Louisiana coast shortly after 10:00 a.m. EST and massive plumes of gray smoke billowed into the sky as rescuers rushed to fish out the workers. Photographs showed the 13-..
