How Close it the Prescipice?

How Close it the Prescipice?

You know that I’ve been warning for a very long time that investments in fossil fuel assets are going to lose their value and do so much sooner and faster than “conventional” wisdom.  Of course, there were some that didn’t even agree that fossil fuel investments were even risky.   I posited that major oil companies’ investments in enormous development projects…

Obscure Order 2222 Opening the Way to a Clean Energy Future!!

Today’s message is that small, sometimes nearly invisible things matter in a BIG way.  Previously I’ve alerted you to NSR (New Source Review: https://franklytalking.com/altering-nsr-can-kill-you-concerned/) and how what might be an obscure adjustment to a regulation can have an enormous impact on your personal health and that of the planet. In addition, I wrote about the CRA (Congressional Review Act: https://franklytalking.com/what-the-hell-is-cra-and-why-should-you-care/) and how its…

Apologies Are Not Going to Cut It

Apologies Are Not Going to Cut It

Still Think That Fossil Fuel Assets are a Good Investment?

Still Think That Fossil Fuel Assets are a Good Investment?

I hope you listened to my warnings over the past few years and divested yourself from any asset in any way tied to fossil fuels not just for moral reasons but for your own financial security.   A great deal of the asset values supporting the prices of a fossil fuel extraction company’s financial instruments is the capitalized cost of the proven…

I have been writing for a long time about following the money as it relates to climate change.  More recently I’ve been revealing how more and more finance entities have been committing to begin redirecting their capital away from fossil fuel projects and into renewable energy assets.  This started with a trickle and becoming a torrent.  When this started it was tentative and…
