Why US About-Face Is Not A Death Knell For Global Climate Action
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite ailing US President's rollback of the nation's climate policies and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, global climate action persists. Emissions may have peaked due to rising renewable investment. Nations like China are stepping up, and no country has followed the U.S. in leaving the Paris deal. Subnational actors like California remain engaged. COP30 may still drive progress, even without U.S. leadership.For the US EV Market, The Training Wheels Are Off. Tesla Will Survive. Who Else Will?

12 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Tongue-in-cheek article argues that instead of demanding faster EV chargers, we should slow down gas pumps to equalize refueling times, while reducing evaporative emissions. It highlights how EV charging is often criticized for being slower than gas refueling, but reframes the issue by suggesting that slowing gas pumps would make EVs seem just as convenient if not more so. The piece uses satire to challenge perceptions and promote EV adoption.

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.

Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.

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
