Energy Tribune Publishing, Inc. Information

Our motto is “Leading the debate. Beating the Street.” We publish on the Web to help you understand the key issues in the energy sector. We publish because we have strongly held beliefs about energy. Here are a few of them: • Energy is the world’s most important commodity. Period. Without energy, there is no transportation. And without transportation, there is no commerce. Energy supply, energy consumption, and energy politics are driving the global political, economic, and social debate and will continue to do so for decades to come. • Peak oil and global warming are among the key debates of our time. Our editors have strong disagreements about these issues, particularly the latter one. We publish pieces that question the science about global warming and others that do not. The world’s policymakers appear to be in agreement that man-made carbon dioxide is bad and that efforts like the Kyoto Protocol are the solution. Maybe they are. But then what? It’s the “then what?” that’s getting ignored. Mandating drastic cuts in energy use and/or large-scale carbon capture and sequestration efforts will cost billions, perhaps trillions, of dollars. It may also mean huge job losses. And no matter what anybody says, renewable energy simply cannot replace fossil fuels in the modern economy. The point is this: the global warming debate is too important to be left to “group-think” while accepting the spurious claim that “the debate is settled.” We aim to keep the debate going.
