  1. As gasoline prices rise, Obama takes aim at alternative-energy critics

    With rising oil prices creating a drag on the economy and his re-election effort, President Barack Obama mocked Republican critics of his alternative-energy policy Thursday, comparing them to the "cynics and naysayers" who didn't believe the Earth was round or that television would take off.

  2. Green movement's blues

    As we head into the new year, America's environmental movement is stalled. The topic of climate change is anathema to the Republican presidential candidates, and the incumbent is tepid on the subject at best. The U.S. stands alone among industrialized nations, who all seem to be making progress in switching to alternative energy sources and reducing their carbon emissions. Germany is on track to obtain 80 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050; Denmark plans for 100 percent by the same date. China, it has been much reported, now leads the world in wind turbine production. The U.S., meanwhile, continues to give generous tax breaks to coal and oil companies. Despite the rancorous debate in Washington to reduce federal spending, those tax breaks merit hardly a mention at all.

  3. State needs wind energy to reach its goals

    Much of the attention paid to Gov.Martin O'Malley's second offshore wind proposal has centered around the cost of building and maintaining an offshore wind farm and its effect on ratepayers. That is a very important discussion, and the governor has his work cut out for him convincing Marylanders that his plan won't unduly increase their monthly electric bills. But it is only part of the story. Inaction on the plan would mean failure to follow through on the state's goal to meet 20 percent of electricity demand with renewable sources by 2022. The offshore wind proposal should be viewed within the context of Maryland's long-term energy growth plan.

  4. D.C.'s Keystone Kops

    The famously inept Keystone Kops from the silent-movie era have relocated inside the Washington Beltway, performing the same kinds of inexplicable actions that were their trademark in the 1920s. President Barack Obama has refused to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would deliver 700,000 additional barrels per day of synthetic crude oil produced from Canada's tar sands. He has given in to his radical environmental base that envisions impending catastrophic oil spills and perpetual damage to the water tables in the states that the pipeline goes through.

  7. A cleaner energy future

    Smart investors — including big firms placing millions and billions of dollars of their clients' money — know to look for long-term growth that gets ahead of emerging trends. That time-tested approach makes a great deal of sense today in looking at our energy future.

  9. End the ethanol charade

    Is it just me, or was there actually a time when ethanol was the great, green hope?

  10. Grand Prix aims to be green, but challenges remain

    When race fans roll into town for the Baltimore Grand Prix this weekend, they can expect to find the Inner Harbor course lined with more than 1,200 recycling bins, and their drinks will be served in cups made of biodegradable corn instead of plastic.

  11. Ethanol remains a sensible alternative to oil

    Karen Hosler's recent opinion piece calling for an end to ethanol subsidies ("End the ethanol charade," Aug. 30) uses sweeping generalizations that distort the truth about grain ethanol's role in fostering America's energy independence and producing...

  12. Ethanol makes no sense

    Sen. Ben Cardin and Karen Hostler are right in saying we do not need ethanol as a gasoline additive, while Stephanie Dreyer is a spin artist in her response to their comments ("Ethanol makes sense," Sept. 1). While not entirely inaccurate, the omissions...
