US carbon emissions are rising again. Can Obama push them back down?

Vox: One of the most promising climate-change stories of the last decade was the steep plunge in US carbon dioxide emissions after 2005. Before then, US emissions had been rising relentlessly for decades. Suddenly, they were falling. That drop was partly due to the US fracking boom, which created a glut of cheap natural gas and spurred utilities to burn less coal for electricity. It was partly due to various clean-energy and efficiency measures. And it was partly making real progress on global warming....
Deep carbon emission cuts possible and inevitable, reports find

Sydney Morning Herald: Futures of the power sector and carbon reductions are closely tied. Australia's abundance of renewable energy resources leaves it well-placed to exit fossil fuels altogether by 2050 at a manageable cost of the economy, according to an Australian National University report. The report, synthesising research by the CSIRO, ClimateWorks and other sources, argues that the country can tap solar, wind and other renewable energy sources in the order of 500 times the current power generation capacity....

Carbon dioxide could be turned into a huge underground battery
2015-04-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: What if we transformed carbon dioxide from being a waste product into being a huge battery to help even out our energy supply? We could make carbon storage pay off, while solving problems of intermittent energy supply from renewables. So say Tom Buscheck from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and his colleagues who presented a design for this type of energy storage at the European Geosciences Union general assembly last week in Vienna, Austria. Their design would be able...
