One of the early popular EV SUVs became too expensive during a period when cheap EVs were popular. And, Elon Musk wants to use his factory to build Optimus robots.
Western Nebraska suffers from the worst drought in America. Unfortunately, its grain is key for both human food and feed for beef cattle
Tesla will discontinue one of its most well-regarded cars. Introduced in 2012, it was superfast. However, it has become too expensive for most consumers and the factory where it was built to pump out Elon Musk’s new Optimus robots
Three years ago, it was over 100°F for 145 days. That number has fallen very little. It raises health concerns and hits GDP. It is also caused by the same climate change effect that causes drought
Last year, Las Vegas went 214 days without rain. Climate change has contributed to the drying up of the nearby Colorado River. In short, things won’t get better.
Scientists have discovered that the melting of the ice around Antarctica has dissolved an amount the size of France. Among other things, this could accelerate rising sea levels, which endanger people who live along coastlines around the world.
Two studies show that people in Mississippi have fewer EVs per capita than in any other state. Why? Good question. There are theories, but no solid answer.
A new survey by Grist shows that a very large number of Americans believe that the climate crisis is driving up their cost of living. The problems range from the destruction caused by wildfires and hurricanes to the rising cost of air conditioning.
Polls from Gallup, the AAA, Pew, and several consulting firms show that between 15% and 30% of Americans will never buy an EV. Some don’t think there will be enough charging stations.

Studies in India show that very hot days mean laborers have to stay inside which undercuts productivity. What the study does not show is that the same thing is happening in America’s hottest cities.
Experian data show that the Tesla Model Y dominates the SUV EV market in the US. Odd, because it is a very old model. However, it shows legacy car companies have not been successful in the segment
According to the journal Nature, wildfires set on purpose can burn areas where wildfires might spread later. The trade-off, however, may be high air pollution
World Weather Attribution has examined all the World Cup cities. Those where heat is most likely to cause a postponement are Houston and Dallas.
The water supplies in some parts of Bangladesh are so slow that people cannot grow crops essential to their economics and even have access to food. There is a rising concern that this will trigger violence. It is not very different from huge cities in India where residents can no longer stand heat and pollution….
SpaceX owns xAI data centers that consume large amounts of electricity. Much of this comes from fossil fuels. Its rockets throw off methane and soot. Overall, the company has a large carbon footprint
Companies plan to build AI data centers across the US. Plans call for the number of these to rise into the hundreds. The electricity would need to be, for now, large
