Climate Progress gets quoted on a diverse set of subjects. Here is ScienceNow on hydrogen:

Still, not everyone is convinced that eggshells are the future [of hydrogen production]. “It’s an intriguing idea, but I don’t know how this could work at a large scale,” says Joseph Romm, a physicist and author of several books on energy and the climate. Plus, he notes, the approach doesn’t address the biggest problems with hydrogen fuel: extending the life of fuel cells and developing more compact hydrogen storage tanks on board vehicles.

Here is Greenwire on “Chinese bid to cast one-child policy as emissions curb raises eyebrows” (subs. reqd.) — they called me because of this recent post on China:

Joseph Romm, a former Energy Department assistant secretary and currently of the Center for American Progress, also dismissed China’s claim.

“The fact that their one-child policy has reduced emissions against what they would’ve been is interesting,” he said. “But it doesn’t help the planet. What we need to do now is for them to develop without building a coal plant every week.”

Romm added he didn’t see the issue being taken seriously on Capitol Hill or in international talks.

“The bottom line is, ‘Could a negotiated agreement cover it?’” he said. “Frankly, it’s been hard enough just to get a regular climate agreement.”

and I was on two segments of Earthbeat radio with Mike Tidwell talking about global warming legislation and celebrity climate action, including the Clinton Global Initiative.

The Environmental Protection Agency to decide by year’s end whether to let California set its own stricter vehicle emissions standards to fight global warming, but will not meet the state’s demand for a decision this month. – Reuters. What’s indicated as the title here is actually an excerpt of the article’s content. The headline is “EPA on Track to Act on Calif Emissions Waiver,” but that’s clearly misleading seeing as the real story is that the EPA will not meet Gov. Schwarzenegger’s demand for a waiver within 180 days after the state’s request. So, get ready – October 23rd, Gov. Schwarzenegger will be suing the Bush Administration. Smack!

Clinton Says She Would Shield Science From Politics – New York Times. Also, she “committed herself to a space-based climate research project to combat global warming and pledged to spend $50 billion on fighting climate change and finding energy alternatives to foreign oil.” While we’re on the subject of front-runners, you can read about Rudy Guiliani’s energy plans here.

Climate activists tipped for peace prize – Reuters. “Former Vice President Al Gore and other campaigners against climate change lead experts’ choices for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.” Stay tuned for the announcement from Oslo on October 12.
