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.

The Hoover Dam is one of the largest in the world. Its turbines provide electricity to millions of Americans. Drought has lowered the Colorado River so much that the dam’s electricity production could stop

According to several news services, many are trying to drive an EV around the world. Will he make it? Perhaps not, but he will get much further than he would have a few years ago. Charging stations are becoming more available in some countries

World Weather Attribution has examined all the World Cup cities. Those where heat is most likely to cause a postponement are Houston and Dallas.

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

There are hundreds of thousands of EVs in the US, although sales have slowed. Many of these sit fully changed but are always driven. Their batteries can be used to send electricity back to the grid and to energy-hungry data centers

The new Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment report shows that the world is warming faster than expected. This means the negative effects of climate change will get worse faster than forecast as well.

Amazon says it has found a way to use less water than its competitors do when it builds data centers. It urged others in the industry to use similar technology. The problem is that the backlash against data centers is so severe that this may not help
