The "EVs Are Big Polluters" Circus Is Back In Town
17 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...the anti-EV blogosphere went into overdrive... 'EV's cause three times more pollution than a hybrid cars! Akio Toyoda said so, which means it is true"...for years, EV haters have been bleating about how electric cars will crash the grid. But the real threat to the electrical grid comes from data centers..
"...journal IOP Science... found that gas and hybrid vehicles create six to nine metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in their manufacturing while EVs create 11 to 14 metric tons of CO2 emissions during manufacturing."
Why Solar Panels Are Thriving in Snowy States
17 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"Minnesota, Massachusetts, New York, and other northern states with significant snowfall are emerging as solar energy powerhouses, challenging conventional wisdom about where solar technology can succeed."...solar panels actually perform more efficiently in colder temperatures...Research indicates that panels can be 5-25% more efficient in cold versus hot climates, assuming equal sunlight....Fresh snow reflects up to 90% of the sunlight..."
Cycling Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia, Study of Half a Million Finds
14 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...study carried out by researchers from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China and the University of Sydney backs up the idea that frequent amounts of moderate exercise and keeping the brain busy can guard against neurodegeneration."Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19 percent lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22 percent lower risk of Alzheimer's...global number of cases projected to rise from 55 million in 2019 to 139 million by 2050."

14 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...new partnerships with China's tech leaders, Toyota will use advanced software, smart driving features, AI, and more in its upcoming EVs...GAC Toyota revealed its next-gen electronic architecture, two new energy vehicle (NEV) platforms, and three hybrid systems... recently launched bZ3X, Toyota's most affordable EV starting at 109,800 yuan ($15,800)...Toyota's sales in China are now up 7.7% through May, with 530,000 vehicles sold."Removing Federal Support for Electric Vehicles - Will Help or Hurt Society?
14 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...add up all the benefits and costs, we find that a reversal of EV policy would have the overall effect of imposing about $33 billion in costs on total societal well-being. "In sum, reversing federal policy support for EVs may ease the federal balance sheet and boost gasoline vehicle production - but these potential benefits would come at a steep cost to not just our wallets, but also our planet."

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.
Sticker Shock and Stagnant Pay: Why New Cars Are Slipping Out of Reach
17 Oct 2025 | 
New car prices have outpaced wage growth, making ownership increasingly unaffordable. Even Ford's $30K EV pickup and other sub-$30K models may remain out of reach for many without incentives or financing reform. With monthly payments rising and federal credits phasing out, the affordability gap is reshaping the auto market. Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.
Toyota FT-Me: Shared Mobility Concept with Big Implications
17 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's FT-Me is a two-seat electric microcar designed for shared urban mobility, not just teens. Developed with UK government support, it features hand-only controls, solar panels, and a lightweight frame. Aimed at car clubs and last-mile use, it could offer affordable, accessible transport with low emissions. With steady utilization and supportive policy, FT-Me may become a viable, sustainable option in the UK's evolving mobility landscape.
Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind
16 Oct 2025 | 
Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
