Farmers in the middle of the nation say that drought and disease brought on by drought could force them out of business. Even crop insurance may not be adequate.

In some parts of the US, when temperatures are very high, electricity prices can soar. People with low incomes can’t afford both electricity and food.

One of the things EV adoption was supposed to do is lower the amount of gas used in the US. This should have brought gas prices down, as demand cratered. Without high EV penetration, the gas supply problem has driven prices up.

SpaceX will build a huge, 10-gigawatt solar manufacturing facility in Texas. Up until now, this kind of facility has used fossil fuels. It is a step forward in using green energy in the most energy-hungry businesses in America

AI IPOs will raise hundreds of billions of dollars. That money will be used for data centers. Right now, data centers are usually powered by natural gas and coal — fossil fuels.

In Atlanta, heavy rain has caused problems with Google’s self-driving cars. One reason for the floods, FEMA maps show, is rising seas from the Atlantic

There is substantial evidence that the use of oil and gas is dropping sharply around the world. Not only is oil locked up in tankers. Reserves are getting depleted. As the world runs low on oil, so is oil demand. That means a drop in greenhouse gas emissions.

About half of the costs of US weather disasters is because of flooding. There may be solutions, which involve huge walls. The total cost, one analysis shows, is $1.3 trillion. It would prevent billion dollar damage, but who will pay for it?

Because of a powerful El Niño and other weather patterns, the US may not be hit by a hurricane at all this season. It happened last year. There were many powerful storms, but their effects were only experienced from miles away. The hurricane season may have changed permanently.

The Trust for Public Land examined the park systems of 100 cities. They ranked them on acreage, investment, amenities, access, and park space equity. Washington finished first.

The American Clean Power Association says clean energy supported 1.4 million jobs in the US in 2025. The total investment involved $79 billion in new projects. Their report says this accounts for “over 90% of all new electricity capacity added to the grid.”

More and more local groups have begun to block AI data centers. They are worried about electricity bills and water pollution. In several states, they have been successful. The work has just begun and pits them against tech giants like Amazon and OpenAI.

The federal government has counted 561 tornadoes in the first four months of 2026. That is about 50% above the national average. Scientists still can’t tell whether global warming is the cause.

According to Cox Automotive, used EVs are selling fast this year. One reason is gas prices. However, new EVs remain expensive, averaging about $60,000. That is about $10,000 more than a new gas-powered car. Even with high gas prices, it is too expensive for most Americans

GasBuddy tracks prices at up to 150,000 stations. Its latest research shows gas prices will be just under $4.50 on Memorial Day. That is up from $3.18 three months ago. Despite this, 52% of Americans plan to travel more than two hours by car over the period. 38% plan to travel more than 5 hours….

A new study shows that the huge appetite for electricity at AI data centers is happening so fast that green energy can’t keep up, at least for several years. In the meantime, abundant natural gas is the solution. Unfortunately, it is a major fossil fuel polluter.

A new technology allows old rubber to be put into the material used to pave roads. It makes them “flexible” and less likely to be damaged by extreme heat and cold. Rubber is a problem for the environment because it takes years to degrade.

The federal government plans to impose a $150 annual fee on new EVs. Potential buyers have already walked away from EVs because of the end of the $7,500 tax credit on September 30 last year.
