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 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.
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, 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.
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.
15 Oct 2025 | China's EV market shows strong wholesale growth, but retail sales lag behind. In April 2025, the wholesale-retail ratio hit 1.27:1, signaling inventory buildup. Automakers push stock to dealers to meet targets, risking oversupply. Analysts warn this gap could lead to price wars and financial strain. Retail data offers a clearer view of consumer demand and market health.
Putting Children First: Lessons from Paris for Atlanta
15 Oct 2025 | Paris redesigned its streets with children in mind - wider sidewalks, less traffic, and safer zones near schools. This child-first approach improved mobility for all, including seniors and cyclists. Atlanta can learn from Paris by investing in protected bike lanes, rethinking zoning, and prioritizing equity. A city where children thrive is safer, healthier, and more connected. The shift is not just practical - it's a moral imperative.
Micromobility's Insurance Gap: What Riders Need to Know
15 Oct 2025 | Micromobility use is surging, but insurance coverage lags. Most auto and home policies exclude e-bikes and scooters, leaving riders exposed. Accidents are rising, and shared services often don't cover users. InsurTech firms offer on-demand solutions, but adoption is low. Riders should check existing coverage, consider standalone policies, and push for clearer regulations to close the gap and ensure safe, sustainable urban transport.
UAE's AAM Aspirations Take Flight In Ras Al Khaimah
14 Oct 2025 | XPeng AeroHT completed manned flight tests of its Land Aircraft Carrier in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. The modular system combines a five-seat EV with a detachable two-seat eVTOL drone. Backed by a UAE flight permit, the tests support the country's broader strategy to lead in urban air mobility through infrastructure, regulation, and commercialization. XPeng, now branded as Aridge, has secured 600 regional orders and plans further expansion.
14 Oct 2025 | 24M Technologies claims its SemiSolid battery design could enable 1,000-mile EV range. The architecture promises higher energy density, lower costs, and improved safety, but remains in development. Real-world deployment depends on materials, manufacturing scalability, and market demand. If successful, it could redefine electric mobility.
