At 400 parts per million, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a menacing milestone. We've failed to get a handle on our addiction to fossil fuel, and now we're in desperate need of solutions for preventing runaway climate change. There is no magic pill for curing the climate threat - real solutions involve the difficult work of changing the way we run the economy. It's time to make a transition to a renewable-energy economy that respects the waste-absorption capabilities of the....

While the U.S. was supposed to be much further into green energy use, advances in oil drilling technology have led to a fossil fuel revolution, the Associated Press reports. Despite innovation in clean energy technology, still less than 5 percent of U.S. power generation last year came in the form of solar, wind and geothermal sources, while 10 percent of gasoline demand was satisfied with corn ethanol.
