Associated Press: California Gov. Jerry Brown is brushing off concerns that powerful industries are playing an outsize role in climate policy. "We need companies of all kinds to collaborate to decarbonize our economy," Brown said Sunday in Paris, where he is attending global talks toward an unprecedented accord on reducing man-made emissions that warm the planet. He said it would be "rather impossible to even imagine" reducing emissions without engaging industry. Brown has faced criticism from environmentalists...

ScienceDaily: Replacing an old incandescent lightbulb with new LED lighting might seem insignificant in reducing energy consumption. It is a simple step, but an effective one that shouldn't be overlooked, said Yu Wang, an assistant professor of political science, who studies global energy policy and energy efficiency, at Iowa State University. "Many people consider energy efficiency to be the low-hanging fruit," Wang said. "If you're facing the target of trying to mitigate climate change, energy efficiency should...
