Did Scientists Just Figure Out Why People Die A DECADE Earlier in the Southeast US?
30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study, entitled "Mortality caused by tropical cyclones in the United States" and published in Nature, reveals that excess deaths in the Southeastern U.S. are linked not to disasters themselves, but to long-term economic and health impacts from repeated exposure to climate shocks. New research shows these "invisible deaths" stem from systemic vulnerability, poor infrastructure, and underinvestment in recovery, to date taking more lives than all America's wars combined.Jeep's Recon Moab EV Is Finally Shedding Its Camouflage
30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Jeep's Recon Moab EV emerges as an electric Rubicon successor with removable doors and serious off-road capability, priced at $60k-$80k and range up 300 miles. But Stellantis is pulling back on EV launches due to weak demand and expiring tax credits. Meanwhile, Rivian's R2 arrives in 2026 at $45k, offering adventure capability with better value. The Recon's fate depends less on its trail prowess and more on whether Jeep commits to production in an uncertain market.Net Zero, Information Warfare, and the Economic Realities Behind the Rhetoric
30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A critique of The Critic's claim that net zero weakens the West, arguing it overlooks the economic fragility of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. While information warfare is real, these regimes face internal crises that limit their strategic reach. Western climate policy, though imperfect, is grounded in sound science and democratic debate. Net zero is not weakness - it's a test of resilience, coherence, and long-term leadership.Ghostworks Marine: The Maverick Shipbuilders Reinventing Electric Vessels for a Zero-Emission Future
27 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Ghostworks Marine, a Michigan-based shipbuilder, is pioneering zero-emission vessels like the M40, ECTO-10, and Minerva. With roots in high-performance racing and military design, the company blends advanced composites and electric propulsion. Their CARB certification enables California agencies to access incentives for clean marine tech, positioning Ghostworks as a leader in sustainable waterborne mobility across defense, cargo, and urban transit sectors.Do Tesla Electric Cars Produce Harmful Radiation? Here's What Drivers Should Know
27 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A viral video raised concerns about radiation exposure in Teslas, but experts say the fears are unfounded. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in EVs, including Teslas, are well below safety limits set by international guidelines. Studies show no evidence of harmful radiation from EVs, and Tesla vehicles comply with all regulatory standards. Experts emphasize that driving an EV poses no known radiation risk to passengers.

BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.
Model Y Competitor? NIO's Onvo L60 Is Affordable EV for the Masses
21 Oct 2025 | 
The Onvo L60 is a mid-size electric SUV from NIO’s ONVO brand, designed for families and priced to undercut the Tesla Model Y. It offers up to 462 hp, 525 km range, and supports battery swapping via NIO’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), lowering upfront cost to ~$21,200. Full ownership with battery is ~$29,300. Exports to Europe begin in 2025. With smart tech, spacious design, and flexible pricing, it signals China's EV push into the global mainstream.
From Horses to Horsepower: Why EV Skeptics Sound Like 19th-Century Farriers
21 Oct 2025 | 
Alan Gelfand's anti-EV stance echoes 19th-century farriers resisting the automobile. His business depends on ICE vehicles, making his critique more nostalgic than neutral. EVs require less maintenance, offer long-term savings, and are backed by expanding service networks. Like carriage makers before him, mechanics must evolve or risk irrelevance. The transition is disruptive - but history favors adaptation over defiance.
EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend
20 Oct 2025 | 
EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.
Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse
17 Oct 2025 | 
Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.
