Recently, I was watching a YouTube video explaining why many people have a less-than-stellar experience visiting national parks. The problem is a bit of a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. Plan too little, and you end up not being able to find a place to sleep, … [continued]

In a recent opinion post at the Wall Street Journal, Toyota’s North America CEO, Jack Hollis, wrote about how Trump can get EVs “back on track.” The article is paywalled, but the sub-head and the introduction paragraph tells us about all that we need to know. It’s the old “consumer … [continued]

Democrats couldn’t say it, because “Green New Deal” supposedly became some kind of tainted and negative phrase (I’ll save my rant on how to win messaging battles like this for another day), but the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law combined to really basically become the “Green New Deal” … [continued]

This is a wild one. And it’s not even about climate change this time. Apparently, humans are pumping so much groundwater out of the Earth that it’s making our planet tilt more. So far, from this activity, the Earth has tilted 31½ inches. While I said this wasn’t caused by … [continued]
