Dialogue of the deaf
by Chris Cragg
There is a disconnection in the way we talk about energy and the way we assess its environmental implications. Energy providers talk in terms of millions of barrels a day, or megawatt hours. Environmentalists talk in tons of carbon. The result is a dangerous confusion, since it obscures the sheer scale of hydrocarbon use and leads to the illusion that all hydrocarbons are equally damaging.
