An eclectic mix of energy and climate news stories from around the world compiled by Roger Andrews.
This week’s lead stories feature Australia’s new government, which has no plans to cut emissions but promises not to abandon its Paris Climate Agreement commitments. How are these two conflicting goals to be met? Coming later we have OPEC, Iraq, Iran’s oil and US sanctions; more Norwegian gas for UK; cap-and-trade in Ontario; coal in China; French environment minister Hulot resigns, France’s nuclear industry rejoices; Japanese utility to curtail solar in favor of nuclear; Tesla backs off privatization; California targets 100% renewable electricity by 2045; the UK wind and solar industries want subsidies restored; Kalashnikov’s new EV; how beavers make climate change worse and how meeting Paris Agreement targets would give us 217 million more tons of fish each year.
I guess the Australia government doesn’t like expensive caviar and higher priced wines! That’s the only thing that came out of the Paris Climate Agreement ! This agreement was a farce!
Th e whole Paris Accord should be thrown away in the dumpster with all the other Eco-Wacko ideas the Eco-Wackos come up with i am just hoping a hard cold windy and wet winter hits these enviromentalists like ton of bricks with their idiotic KEEP IT IN THE GROUND nonsense

I am sure they do plan to abandon The Paris agreement. Since Trump is not onside, everyone is dropping it. They just are not allowed to talk about it.
Kalashnikov electric car? Sign me up.
If we ever get a practical electric car that isn’t just a rich idiot’s delight or an excuse to steal from taxpayers, it will be Kalashnikov that builds it, not Tesla.
