18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
BYD, once China's fastest-growing EV maker and 2024's top seller globally, is now facing serious headwinds. Since May, its domestic sales have begun to shrink while international deliveries aren't enough to compensate. A fierce price war - central to its rapid rise - is under regulatory scrutiny in Beijing. Margins are being squeezed by aggressive discounting, and the company must now navigate cooling demand, tighter oversight, and investor pressure amid declining profits.5 Forecasts Early Climate Models Got RIght
18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Early climate models from the 1960s accurately predicted key warming patterns - Arctic amplification, faster land heating, and nighttime temperature rise. Developed by pioneers like Syukuro Manabe, these models proved surprisingly robust. Their success boosts confidence in today's forecasts, which warn of accelerating disruption. What's worrying isn't just the warming - it's how fast it's unfolding, with risks to ecosystems, infrastructure, and global stability.That $1-trillion Tesla Pay Package For Elon Musk Isn't As Bad As You Think. It's Worse
18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Tesla's proposed $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk ties rewards to extreme goals like an $8.5 trillion market cap and mass deployment of robotaxis and humanoid bots. Critics say it's not just excessive—it's structurally reckless, concentrating power without time-commitment safeguards and risking distorted priorities. The LATimes argues this isn't bold innovation, but a governance failure with long-term risks to shareholders and corporate accountability.

Sun vs. Sagebrush: Nevada's Solar Boom Meets Its Wild Heart
12 Oct 2025 | 
Nevada's Esmeralda 7 solar project was canceled amid ecological concerns and political pushback. Conservationists opposed its scale and impact on desert wildlife and cultural sites. The Trump administration halted its review, citing regulatory burdens. Though 12 million acres are solar-designated, only 20,000 are developed. Advocates urge smarter siting, wildlife corridors, and use of degraded lands to balance clean energy goals with wilderness protection.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
12 Oct 2025 | 
The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
