Conservative America's fight against the advancement of a new energy economy continues to evolve.  The latest development is a concerted campaign to discredit the wind industry and shift public opinion against the technology.

A new survey from Stanford University shows that American support for government action on global warming has dropped over the past two years.

The White House and BP have been hiding the truth about the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf.

Despite all the political rhetoric, the bottom line hasn't changed:  carbon emissions are increasing in every corner of the planet.  This is largely due to the fact that the global economy is so unequivocally tied to fossil fuel consumption.

Could it be that the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gas is the same country that spends more on green technology than any other country?

 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) administrator in the South and Southwest region (Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas), Al Armendariz, has resigned after Republicans took aim at comments he made two years ago regarding how the EPA would "crucify" corporations that broke environmental laws.

For several years now, we’ve been making the case that the clean energy industry has to dramatically scale its advocacy investment to meet an aggressive disinformation campaign trained against it by the fossil lobby. We’ve found increasing receptiveness to that message, but we still run into people who think we’ve got tin foil on our heads. The refrain goes something like this: “Who’d want to do such a thing to wind, solar and geothermal power?”

In its annual progress report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) unsurprisingly called for more urgency and action from nations across the globe in the development and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

Over the last year, green jobs have become a political punching bag. But in many states throughout the country the industry is gaining traction. In Massachusetts, more than 64,000 engineers, construction workers and entrepreneurs have found jobs in the sector. The Center for American Progress went to Massachusetts to learn how they're doing it, and to tell the real story about the clean energy economy.
