Joe Nocera of The New York Times is back with another column in support of building Keystone XL. I counted four errors or willful oversights in Nocera's piece, although I'm sure I missed some. Let's review.

1. Speaking about KXL's importance: "Energy independence is a long-sought national goal....

So you're a progressive and you've been sitting on the sidelines of the Keystone XL fight. Sure, you've heard about the pipeline but you haven't yet drawn your sword and taken up the struggle. As the story has gotten increasingly complex, maybe you've lost the plot a little. Well! Here's...

I've always wanted to be like Cornel West, so I guess this is my best shot at it. Larry Summers, with whom Brother West so famously tussled, has an op-ed up in the Washington Post this morning in which he repeats the very wrongheaded idea that the tar...

Opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline have made a bombproof environmental case against project. There is a lot of conjecture about KXL, but facts are facts. Keystone XL is an export pipeline; it will increase global warming emissions; and it will benefit giant oil and gas...

For those of us who are downright scared about what the Keystone XL pipeline could mean for the climate, there are three main reasons to ask the president to say no to the pipe -- approving it will open up the tar sands and create huge amounts of emissions; the...

Want to know how the Keystone XL will drive up climate emissions? Just ask the banks that are needed to fund dirty tar sands pipeline projects and they'll tell you straight out: no KXL means no substantive development of the tar sands, one of the world's largest pools of carbon...

It's deja vu all over again. The State Department is gearing up to release its analysis of the environmental impacts of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. The first one, you might remember, didn't include a substantive evaluation of the huge climate impacts of the pipeline; and State...

It's go time. The election is behind us, the president has his four more years, and it's time for him to decide which side he's on -- the planet's or Big Oil's.

Does that sound dramatic?

Well, the situation is dramatic. Early next year the president will again...

Whopper. Fib. Lie. Whatever you want to call them, we are likely to hear a few untruths during the presidential debate if the conversation turns to the Keystone XL pipeline.

Mitt Romney has pledged to approve the pipeline on Day 1 of his administration, even using his

I always swell up with emotion at rallies. The idea that people would take time out of their busy day to speak up is a beautiful thing to be a part of, and I always feel fortunate that my job allows me the privilege of joining their chorus.

This morning...

Ugh. That's about the only audible response that I could muster after reading through Mitt Romney's energy plan, which he released last week after getting winks, nods of approval, and campaign donations in the millions from fossil fuel company CEOs.

I know that
it's hard to believe, but Romney's positions...

Fortune magazine is out with its Fortune 500, its annual ranking of America's largest and most powerful corporations. In pole position is Exxon, whose profits in 2011 rose 35 percent to $41.1 billion. A good haul, by any definition. Only Walmart stood in the way of a clean...

Even though we've had huge success in turning companies like Unilever, Nestle and Kraft off palm oil produced by Sinar Mas--the notorious company linked to forest destruction--that only represents one part of the jigsaw puzzle and Sinar Mas is still chewing its way through Indonesia's rainforests.

Palm oil is one...

On Tuesday, Greenpeace held a protest at computer giant Dell's Round Rock, Texas, headquarters for the company's backtracking on its public commitment to eliminate key toxic chemicals in its products by 2009. Our decision to directly communicate with its leadership and employees was not taken lightly; it was...

The announcement of Apple's iPad has been much anticipated by a world with an ever-increasing appetite for mobile computing devices as a way to connect, interact, learn and work. As rumors circulated - first about its existence and then about its capabilities - the iPad received more media attention than...

Following the release of a new report, activists around the world are taking action to tell Nestle - the largest food and drink company in the world - to stop sourcing palm oil from rainforest destroyers.

The report: "Caught Red Handed: How Nestle's...

"I have always believed that IT is the engine of an efficient economy; it also can drive a greener one." --Michael Dell, Forbes

Last month, Facebook announced that it was building its first data center, in Prineville, Oregon. Unfortunately for the climate,...

Facebook, one of the fastest growing and most innovative destinations on the web, recently announced a plan to build a massive data center in Prineville, Oregon. Unfortunately, while Facebook plans to build a highly energy-efficient data center, which saves it money in lower energy costs, the company has...

In last night's State of the Union address, President Obama said that "(t)o create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. And that means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country." Despite his statement, the President knows...

Earlier this year, Gandi Sulistiyanto, one of Sinar Mas' managing directors, told Reuters that, "We should have been arrested if we had ever been involved in deforestation." Mr. Sulistiyanto may regret those words after Greenpeace presented new evidence that Sinar Mas, Indonesia's biggest palm oil producer, has been persistently engaging...
