Fossil Fuels Will Continue To Dominate For Decades To Come

While optimism has helped to galvanize support for a global energy transition, a degree of realism is necessary as well. It will likely be decades before a full global energy transition can take place, and in the meantime, the most effective way to reduce emissions would be to control consumption. This is a process that faces financial, technological, and social hurdles, and predicting how long it will take is a near-impossible task. The energy transition may have begun, but there is a very long way to go before fossil fuel dominance is truly challenged.

Snow Depth – Friday March 19

While we didn’t get any snow in the Albany area or much of the Hudson and Mohawk Valleys they got a good dusting through most of the hilltowns, and they are still retaining a lot of snow in the Adirondacks and Green Mountains.
