Our weekly roundup of energy and climate news from around the world.
The big news in the Energy Patch this week is the Kurdish independence vote, which threatens to disrupt the global oil market and could lead to civil war in Iraq. We follow up with the usual dose of stories from around the world: surging global demand for diesel; the Aramco IPO; US loans billions to two nuclear plants; Australian coal plants running out of coal; Tesla sends storage batteries to Puerto Rico; Denmark wants more solar; California mulls ban on fossil-fuel vehicles; Canada’s expanding farmland; the utility death spiral; no more wood-burning in London; batteries at Burbo Bank; the Barrier Reef stages an unexpected recovery; evaporation engines replace nuclear power and how global warming could damage your car’s suspension.
Just raise Federal tax’s to 95% and Justin Turdeau will make all this go away.
Erdogan intends to slaughter the Kurds and steal their oil.
Really?
Someone certainly has a death grip on the obvious.
