Wildfires threaten cattle herds in the West as their numbers reach historic levels. Additionally, drought has already cut back the grain that feeds these cattle. Meat prices are rising.

EV school bus fleets are going. These are mostly funded locally and by the states. The cost to operate an EV bus is much less than that of a gas-powered one. Electricity is less expensive than gas. And repair costs are much lower.

The high cost of gas is driving people to public transportation because it is increasingly less expensive than driving a car. The question is, will people ever return to their autos?

Self-driving cars are made to lower what people pay for cars. They modulate driving speeds better than humans and are much better at GDS instructions

Chinese EVs will be in the US much faster than most people, including the US car industry, expect. Today, they are essentially blocked by 100% tariffs. The first is that US car compaines could sell them in joint ventures. The American companies cannot build their own EVs efficiently. The other is that tariffs could fall…

Some AI data centers are far along in the approval and planned construction process. However, local opposition has shut some of these down, probably permanently. Local opposition to these has changed the entire industry. AI companies need these to fulfill tremendous supply problems.

The administration just issued an order allowing off-road vehicles in areas controlled by the Park Service. The affected area covers five million acres of protected land. Trump has made similar decisions about oil drilling and coal mining.

As in 2023, wildfire smoke will almost certainly spread to the Midwest and large cities in the Northeast. Wildfire activity in Canada will continue at recent levels, according to experts. The drought in the US West has spread to the Southeast

New data from Cox Automotive shows that the Tesla Model Y accounted for 39% of the new EV market in Q1. The reasons may be its low price and Tesla’s continued dominance of the EV market, despite difficulties. And other EV companies have retreated from the market.

EV sales as a percent of new cars in Q1 were 5.6%. That is down from 7.8% in 2025 and 7.9% in 2024, according to Cox Automotive. One reason may be the elimination of the $7,500 federal tax credit. The other is that EVs are still more expensive than gas-powered cars. What could turn things…

The journal Nature published a research paper stating that the LA wildfires were the 5th most expensive natural disaster in history. They destroyed over 10,000 structures, caused an evacuation of 150,000 people, and had a price tag of about $140 billion.

Google understands the problem its AI data centers pose because of their electricity needs. This often competes with local residents’ use and raises rates. Its solution is to encourage people to reduce their electricity use during peak hours. And it proposes paying people in return.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative tracks a large amount of data. It is being shuttered by the government. One of its important functions is to track rising seas. And those rising seas can trigger coastal flooding

Scientists say the heat and extreme drought in the southwest are due to climate change. This is no more evident than in Phoenix. Two years ago, heat killed over 600 people. It also hurts the economy due to issues like people being unable to work outdoors, which reduces productivity. Another problem is that it increases…

Two years ago, homes in the Outer Banks began plunging into the ocean. The count just hit 20. The reason is global warming. It’s rising seas, more powerful hurricanes, and strong tide surges.

Research shows that when gas prices rise, Americans cut back on their use. And, often these cutbacks are long-lasting. Because of new green alternatives, the US demand for gas may not come back to the levels it was earlier

America is the world’s largest oil producer. That would seem to make the country completely oil independent. However, much of what America produces is exported. And crude supply in the US is falling fast. Green energy adoption may have slowed in the US. However, its growth may become the nation’s only path to ongoing energy…

More than 7 out of 10 Americans do not want a data center in their community because of water pollution and electricity prices. Much of the electricity is also created with fossil fuels. For AI to grow, data centers are essential, so the entire sector faces a slowdown that will severely hinder adoption.

When coal was the primary energy source in the US, it was known as “King Coal.” The Trump Administration has decided to give the coal industry $700 million in support. He is investing in coal instead of the alternative, which is green energy. Coal causes more pollution than any other fossil fuel.
