BREAKING: In contrast to growing #NetZero commitments, 2021 #ProductionGap report finds that governments’ planned #FossilFuel production remains dangerously out of sync with #ParisAgreement limits. Find out more at http://productiongap.org .

SAVE THE DATE! Our 2021 #ProductionGap report will be coming out on Oct 20. Learn about this year's key findings & implications in the lead-up to #COP26 at our launch webinar on Oct 21 9am ET. Is the gap closing? Stay tuned!https://www.sei.org/events/2021-production-gap-report-launch-event/ …

“Clearly, the world and the U.S. need to get to a zero-carbon economy as fast as possible. More subsidies to renewable power should absolutely be on the table,” writes @SEI_Erickson in a new study with @_aploy.https://bit.ly/3jcUudD 

Here are my reflections on the Shell verdict today and, more broadly, the fallacy of the argument (made by Shell and many others) that reducing its own oil production would not reduce global CO2 emissionshttps://www.sei.org/perspectives/oil-companies-reducing-production-co2-emissions/ …

Today on Volts: a deep dive into the details of Washington state's new "cap & invest" bill, which would push state carbon emissions down 95% by 2050, while plowing money into transportation decarbonization & vulnerable communities. Carbon pricing lives!https://www.volts.wtf/p/washington-state-now-has-the-nations …

STARTING NOW: SEI's @SEI_Erickson joins a panel of experts to talk fossil fuel subsidies at a hearing of the @OversightDems Subcommittee on the Environment. Watch the livestream and read the SEI testimony here:https://buff.ly/3gvqetk 

New report out today, by @_aploy and me, on economics of fossil gas in the Appalachian region. We evaluate future demand and costs for US natural gas and find high risk for the region, especially as the economy decarbonizes.https://www.sei.org/publications/risks-for-new-natural-gas-developments-in-appalachia/ …

Yes, some Texas wind turbines froze this week — but the state's vast, rolling blackouts mostly were caused by frozen natural gas pipelines. Still, some fossil fuel advocates have been trying to blame green energy for the mess.https://nyti.ms/2Zqrhkh 

Canada, the UK and Norway have all set ambitious climate targets to reduce their territorial emissions. But Canada, Norway and the UK also plan to keep producing and exporting fossil fuels.

Sec. Kerry: “The problem with gas is if we build out a huge infrastructure for gas now and continue to use it as the bridge fuel when we haven’t really exhausted the other possibilities, we’re going to be stuck with stranded assets in 10, 20, 30 years."https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/europe/stop-us-in-our-tracks-biden-s-new-climate-chief-john-kerry-invokes-australian-bushfires-20210128-p56xce.html?ref=rss …
