New Energy: Conversations with Early-Career Energy Researchers is a new online series featuring graduate, post-doctoral, and other early-career researchers sharing their discoveries and perspectives on energy-related topics. From policy to analysis to emerging research, this bi-weekly series will give anyone interested in energy the opportunity to learn from the rising stars in the field.
This series is a collaborative effort between professors at Dartmouth College s Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society and more than a dozen other institutes, colleges, and universities in North American and Europe.
On March 17, we welcome Roman Sidortsov of Michigan Technological University who will give a talk titled, Stranded Assets, Path Dependencies & Carbon Lock-in: Implications of Oil & Gas Development in the Russian, Norwegian and U.S. Arctic.
Electric Cars Won t Solve Climate Change
Electric cars might look great in your driveway, but they re a symbol of a systemic problem: an ineffective, car-based approach to addressing transportation s climate impacts. Share
Elon Musk is wrong; Tesla won t save the planet from climate change.
Electric cars might look great in your driveway, but they re also a symbol of a systemic problem: a consumer and car-based approach to addressing transportation s climate impacts. Not only that, they re ineffective solution to climate change.
Transportation-related carbon emissions are the top source of U.S. carbon emissions
Transportation-related carbon emissions account for 14% of our global carbon emissions and are the largest source of U.S. carbon emissions at 29%. Therefore, it is crucial that the U.S. cuts our transportation emissions to meet the Paris Climate accords goal 50% of our 2017 emissions. While the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily lowered some of these transportation emissio
