More Bad News For Coal, Another Rosy Report For Clean Energy — If You Ignore The Tillerson Effect Imperial College London has more bad news for coal and oil, too. The school’s Grantham Institute has paired with the Carbon Tracker Initiative to crunch the numbers, and the results ain’t pretty. The researchers are basically accusing fossil energy companies of using alternative facts to project relatively slow growth in the clean energy sector. The researchers project much faster growth for clean energy and electric vehicles, too. That’s great news — if you ignore the fact that new US Secretary of State is former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, and ExxonMobil is the company notorious for leading the charge against climate science. The new report ( http://ift.tt/2k2ptKC) is titled “Expect the Unexpected…The Disruptive Power of Low Carbon Technology.” The report focuses shines a spotlight on power generation and ground transportation. These two sectors alone account for about half of global fuel production. See http://bit.ly/2kEzzC4
