Iran Hit By “Black Rain” Again
Thick toxins from the explosion of oil facilities, combined with rain, have caused a very dangerous precipitation, according to the WHO. The problem will continue as the war grows.

Because of AI data center energy needs and the risk of $100-a-barrel oil, nuclear energy is quickly becoming popular. After the Three Mile Island and Fukushima nuclear accidents, it began to die off. Now, its energy contribution has become crucial.
A report in the journal Nature shows that parts of the world are heating up at a growing pace over the period from 1950 to 2024. Most scientists thought it would be slower. This puts a huge number of people in danger.
Iran has pledged to keep tankers out of the Strait of Hormuz and to drive oil prices to $200 a barrel. The US can’t afford that. The only place it has to turn is renewables. Solar, wind, and EVs will benefit.
A new study from iSeeCars shows that used car sales are slowing. But, not for used Tesla. The Model X was the fastest-selling used car in America last month. What happened? Maybe it’s a rebound from slowing sales after the end of the $7,500 tax credit. No matter what the reason, it’s good for the…
Amid concerns that oil flows could be interrupted, renewed interest in nuclear power is gaining momentum.
GM and Ford just turned their backs on the EV industry after billions of dollars in write-offs. At $100 oil, gas is $5. How long does oil stay high? What’s the point at which people will turn back to EVs to save money? And how long does it take for car companies to retool their…
A new study shows that climate change makes hailstones larger. The ones that hit Paris last year are an example. And, hailstorms hit the US every year.
It looked like the world’s oil supply could be disrupted for several months. However, large nations will probably release the oil they have in storage. It looked like green energy would gain an edge due to panic.
The temperature in Phoenix will hit 102 degrees F this week. The normal temperature this time of year is supposed to be 70. Global warming and the drought it has caused are part of the reason.
Former US Secretary of State John Kerry is pushing for the revival of nuclear power. His reason is simple“After decades of flat demand, electricity is once again central to economic strategy,”
The Trump Administration did almost anything it could to cripple solar and wind. It announced a plan to allow new oil and gas drilling across nearly 1.3 billion acres of U.S. coastal waters.
A major destination for skyers is being crippled by drought and hotter-than-normal weather. Vail Resort says it is having its worst year in three decades. According to Climate Central, “Researchers blame both natural variation like El Niño and La Niña and global warming from human activity for the loss of snow and ice.”
The average price of a gallon of regular gas in California is $5.20. In San Francisco, it’s $5.41. California is the largest state with 12% of America’s population. High state gas taxes contribute to the price. Fortunately for some, California also has more EVs than any other state.
Scientists have believed the world was warming at a uniform rate since the 1970s. Because of human activity, that pace has accelerated.
With oil and natural gas bottled up in the Middle East, nations have to use renewables and coal to provide energy. There was a hope that coal, which pollutes more than any other major energy source, was on the way out. Not for now.
Electricity generation has risen two years in a row, according to the EIA. The will accelerate as more data centers come online. It also almost certainly means more use of fossil fuels.
Gas prices rose 51 cents last week to $3.45. The rate of increase was a record. The cause was the rise in crude oil prices because of the Middle East war.
Real estate research firm First Street forecasts insurance rates in some Florida and California cities could rise as much as 200%. The reasons are wildfires and hurricanes
Donald Trump has set back green energy. He has taken away the EV tax credit. He has shuttered offshore wind farms.With oil moving toward $100, green could get a new lease on life
