Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), the newest member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, claimed today that the coal industry doesn’t receive any government subsidies, unlike every other form of energy.

Fish Thought to Be Extinct for 70 Years Rediscovered

Photo credit: skyseeker / Creative Commons In 1940, a hydroelectric dam was constructed in northern Akita Prefecture, Japan. The project, it was known at the time, would destroy the only native habitat of the black kokanee salmon by making the waters too acidic for the fish to survive. Still, developers went ahead with their plans. A concession was made to protect the species: 100,000 eggs were transported to nearby Lake Saiko. Unfortunately, the transplanted eggs did not hatch and the

China to Hit 500 GW of Renewable Power by 2020

Photo: 林 慕尧 / Chris Lim , Wikimedia, CC Energy hawks — hell, all of us, really — have no doubt gotten a little tired of hearing about how much investment China is dumping into clean energy compared to the United States. Yes, we are severely lagging in the renewable sector, and yes, China is poised to eat our lunch in solar and wind — China has just set a new goal to get 500 GW of renewable power on the grid by 2020. No, we’re nowhere near that number — and we certainly won’t be if we continue on our current trajectory. But there’s still a lot to learn from Ch… Read the full story on TreeHugger
