The new Census shows that, among all counties in the US, Miami Dade is third in terms of population lost. Tampa’s situation is even worse.

The new Census data shows that, among the 10 counties losing the most population year over year, two are in hurricane-prone parts of Florida, one in Louisiana, and one in Mississippi. These are places where insurance rates are going up and where storms threaten to be larger.

The effort to increase the production of memory chips to meet fast-accelerating demand from AI will add to the semiconductor sector’s climate footprint and will lift the costs of managing emissions.

EV sales fell sharply because the $7,500 tax credit expired last year. Now, some forecasts say oil will reach $200. In Europe, where oil imports are a larger issue, EV sales have surged. America will be next.

Rising jet fuel prices will add billions of dollars in costs to US carriers. That means they will cut unprofitable routes and raise ticket prices. In some parts of Asia, the problem is worse. The flow of oil has dropped so much that jet fuel for some carriers may not be available at all.

In the US, oil prices are driving up the cost of gas and heating oil. In parts of Asia, particularly the Philippines and South Korea, the governments are pushing people to stop driving completely. These nations rely almost totally on oil from the Middle East. Riding bicycles is one partial solution in South Korea.

According to Census information, US companies are spending more on data centers than on new office buildings. It shows how rapid the rush is to provide infrastructure for the current massive wave of a new technology.

iSeeCars says the depreciation on some Tesla models is over 60%. That is more than almost any car on the market.

Elon Musk is buying components to build more solar energy capacity. One problem with data centers is that they often compete with residents for electricity, which tends to drive prices higher. No one knows for certain that he can solve the problem

The Trump Administration paid TotalEnergies $1 billion to end two offshore energy projects. They could have provided electricity for as many as one million homes. It is another example of his war against the offshore wind sector.

A study published by the Climate & Community Institute put the Iran War’s emissions until March 14 at about 5 million tons of CO2 equivalent. The levels from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel conflict are much greater.

EVs have suffered from relatively short ranges and slow charging times. China EV giant BYD has changed both of those things. Its new system can charge a battery that will go 600 miles. And, it only takes nine minutes. Two of the major objections to EV ownership are gone.

Americans are told there aren’t many EV charging stations. It has been said that EVs have a maximum range of 300 miles. This and other information aren’t accurate.

According to The New York Times, if the Thwaites Glacier melts or falls apart, it could raise world sea levels by two feet. That would flood parts of some of the world’s largest cities.

How long will fossil fuels be bottled up in the Middle East? Perhaps, off and on, for years. That leaves green energy and nuclear at the center of how the world powers itself.

A new US study shows that the “global climate is in a state of emergency.” It also says that the evidence is obvious.

The number seems staggering. According to the BBC, the world is interconnected enough that deep climate problems worldwide have hit US compensation hard.

It turns out the AI data centers are not the only large draw on electricity; generation has to rely more on fossil fuels. Air conditioning use in the US is surging, and global warming does not help.

Chinese EVs have recently arrived in Canada. They are already selling very well in Europe. Experts think most are better than those made by traditional manufacturers, who have also retreated from the market. Consumers want less expensive EVs. Tariffs won’t last forever.

Gas prices in parts of California are already moving toward $6. It has 14% of America’s population. If oil goes to $120 for a month or more, the math, which is oil compared to gas, moves gas prices to $7

The sales of used Cybertrucks have been unusually strong? Why? More people are buying EVs because of gas prices. Also, the Cybertruck is $100,000 new. People can pay half of that for a used model.
