Based on its carbon footprint, the largest polluter on the road is the Ford F-250 Super Duty. Americans favor large SUVs and pickups, which is a major reason transportation is among the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
Diesel fuel has been relatively inexpensive for years. With rising oil prices, that is no longer true. It is more financially viable for large trucks to use EV engines
New technology allows drilling for geothermal energy four miles beneath the ocean surface. If it works, the world may have a new source of renewables.
The Earth Fire Alliance has high resolution cameras on satellites that can view the end globe every 20 minutes, and, watching for wildfires.
Solar has not been hit as hard by Trump as wind has. The need for new electricity sources has become unexpectedly large due to data centers and air conditioning. The surge in solar revenue and installations is beyond almost all expectations.
Most pet owners don’t know it. Pets can suffer from heatstroke, just as humans do. The signs are often confusion and lethargy. Cool them down and get them to a vet, fast.
Rhodium Group has partnered with CalSTRS and Generate Capital to examine the pace of data center construction. The answer is that, for some, this construction could be delayed for years. Among the reasons is that energy sources may not come online soon enough for growth, and there could be a shortage of chips
A new study shows that the world’s population will stop growing in three decades and then decline throughout the rest of the century. The idea that energy needs will continue to rise is wrong.
The development of nuclear energy is rising rapidly, especially compared to other sources. As green energy struggles in some places, it could be the reason fossil fuel use falls.
A new study shows that charging an EV completely can take 40 minutes at a public charging station. By contrast, filling a gas-powered car takes five minutes.
Private equity and hedge funds invest based on future weather events and their economic effects. As the changes in the weather and extremes become more frequent, those bets often aren’t paying off

The Information is keeping count. It’s bad for AI companies, but good for local electricity rates.
A new YouGov poll shows that a large number of people in the UK lost significant amounts of sleep in the June heatwave. For many, it was over three hours.
AI is being used in California to monitor video cameras across the state to catch wildfires early, or predict them.
