Oil was the “black gold” of the last century, and lithium might be called the “white gold” or “silvery-white gold” of this century. (No one calls it that, but that’s okay.) So, it’s only fitting that Exxon is planning to extract and sell some of this white gold now. In … [continued]

13 years ago, Utrecht brightened our day with news of a Traffic Garden — something so basic, so common sense, and yet so amazing. Things are how they should be. Flowing with well-trained bicyclists is just one of the ways Utrecht succeeds with high-efficiency transportation, though. 9 years ago, Utrecht … [continued]

Sails on ships are a romantic and idealized vision of the world. Our history as a species includes innumerable tiny vessels pushed by wind across great expanses of featureless ocean, bold explorers and traders risking all on the science of sextants and the vagaries of the weather.

The 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit is a top incentive for stimulating and supporting clean energy and battery manufacturing in the US. However, at the moment, there are ways that Chinese companies can benefit from this, if they build factories in the US. That is completely unacceptable to some … [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]

Ford’s got an interesting approach this year of highlighting customers stories in order to promote its electric vehicles. I assume the company learned that what potential buyers need more than anything else is evidence from other humans that electric vehicles work for them.
