TEDx Talks – 09/05/2022 (17:51)
The world faces two important and interrelated challenges. Affordable and reliable energy for all, and protecting the environment. The energy-environment challenge is not simple, but it is solvable if we understand and address the complex fabric of energy security, scale of energy demand, physics of energy density, distribution of energy resources, interconnectedness of the land, air, water and atmosphere, and the extreme disparity in global wealth and economic health.
The truth is that there are no good and bad, clean and dirty, renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. They all have benefits, and they all have challenges. Climate change is an important issue, but it is not the only environmental issue. Solar and wind are important low carbon solutions, but they are only part of the solution. We must put our best minds to the task of addressing the dual challenge, working together to better the world. Dr. Scott Tinker is a global explorer who works to bring industry, government, academia, and NGOs together to address major societal challenges in energy, the environment, and the economy. Dr. Tinker is Director of the 250-person Bureau of Economic Geology, the State Geologist of Texas, and a professor holding the Allday Endowed Chair in the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin. Scott formed and is Chairman of the nonprofit Switch Energy Alliance (SEA), and together with Director Harry Lynch, co-produced and is featured in the award-winning energy documentary films Switch and Switch On, which have been screened in over 50 countries to more than 15 million viewers and are used on thousands of educational campuses worldwide. SEA produced Switch Classroom, used in AP Environmental Science classes nationwide. Scott is the creator and voice of Earth Date, a weekly program featured on over 425 public radio stations in all 50 United States. In his visits to some 60 countries, Scott has given nearly 1000 keynote and invited lectures. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

News
PBS NewsHour – December 4, 2023 (07:34)
One of the big announcements at the UN climate conference this weekend in Dubai was a pledge by more than 110 countries to triple the amount of renewable energy they are generating by 2030. That work is already underway in a rather unlikely place. William Brangham reports in collaboration with the Global Health Reporting Center and with support from the Pulitzer Center.
Carbon removal is hardly a sure thing, and a useful new Substack post explores what might cause a failure to launch.
Driving the news: Nan Ransohoff of Frontier — a group of huge corporations building market demand — published highlights of their “red team” exercise to identify and overcome problems.
Why it matters: Carbon removal could complement clean energy and industrial tech and even help bring temperatures back down if the world misses Paris goals.
- Demand is rising but remains far below what’s needed to achieve the multiple gigaton-scale per year envisioned to make removal a viable solution.
The big picture: Getting on track for science-based 2050 targets means (back of the envelope) around 50-100 million tons of removal by 2030. At an average cost of $200/ton (or lower), that’s $20 billion annually, vastly more than today’s trajectory.

The Judiciary and Energy & Environment: A Complex Relationship
The judiciary plays a pivotal role in shaping energy and environmental policy. Through its interpretation of laws and regulations, the judiciary can significantly influence the direction and pace of environmental protection and energy development.
Key Areas of Interaction:
- Environmental Law Interpretation:
- Statutory Construction: Courts interpret environmental laws, such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act, to determine their scope and applicability.
- Regulatory Review: The judiciary reviews agency regulations to ensure they are consistent with statutory authority and do not exceed the agency’s delegated powers.
- Environmental Permitting:
- Permit Challenges: Courts often hear challenges to environmental permits issued by regulatory agencies. These challenges can be based on procedural errors, substantive violations, or inadequate environmental review.
- Environmental Enforcement:
- Civil and Criminal Penalties: Courts impose penalties on entities that violate environmental laws, including fines, injunctions, and even criminal sanctions.
- Climate Change Litigation:
- Policy Challenges: Courts have been increasingly involved in climate change litigation, addressing issues such as the federal government’s responsibility to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and the liability of fossil fuel companies for climate change-related damages.
Factors Influencing Judicial Decisions:
- Scientific Evidence: Courts often rely on scientific evidence to inform their decisions on environmental matters.
- Economic Impacts: The judiciary may consider the economic consequences of environmental regulations, particularly when balancing environmental protection with other societal interests.
- Political Climate: The political climate can influence judicial appointments and decision-making, potentially impacting the interpretation of environmental laws.
Examples of Significant Judicial Rulings:
- Massachusetts v. EPA (2007): The Supreme Court held that the EPA had a duty to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
- West Virginia v. EPA (2022): The Supreme Court limited the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
In conclusion, the relationship between the judiciary and energy & environment is complex and dynamic. The judiciary’s rulings can have far-reaching implications for environmental protection, energy development, and the overall quality of life.

“Climate and energy” (Wiki)
Contents
In the 21st century, the Earth’s climate and its energy policy interact and their relationship is studied and governed by a variety of national and international institutions.[1]
The relationships between energy-resource depletion, climate change, health resources and the environment, and the effects that they have on each other, have been subject to numerous scientific studies and research efforts.[2] As a result, a majority of governments [3] see climate and energy as two of the most important policy goals of the twenty first century. [4][5][6]
The correlation between climate and energy rests on known causal relationships between human population growth, rising energy consumption and land use and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.[7][8][9][10][11]
The concern for climate change control and mitigation has consequently spurred policy makers and scientists to treat energy use and global climate as an inextricable nexus with effects also going in reverse direction[12] and create various initiatives, institutions and think tanks for a high-level treatment of the relationships:
- Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate Change (global)
- Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities (Denmark)
- Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (US)
- United States House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming (US)
- European Union climate and energy package (EU)
- Department of Energy and Climate Change (UK)
- White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy (US)
- Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (Australia)
- Minister for the Environment and Water (Australia)
- Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act 2006
- Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy (Germany)
- Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (UK)
