Abstract

So what's stopping an economic shift to new energy forms? Quite simply, vested interests. Mineral fuels, including oil, coal, gas, and refined products make up 14.8% of all global trade and the companies who control these commodities have successful captured the UNFCCC process to arrest climate change with talk of a 'green economy' where dirty industry itself orchestrates a too slow response to climate change that diverts public money into their own balance sheets for less than impressive little projects in greenness.
