One of the most visible consequences of a warming world is an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Most have an associated human influence, too, that doesn’t seem as if it will diminish soon.

The Ford F-150 Lightning has just barely arrived on the market, yet I’ve already heard a few stories of the Lightning powering people’s needs in the event of power outages.

There is no shortage of crazy stories coming out of the path of Hurricane Ian. (I’ve got my own from my area of Southwest Florida, but none of them are saucy enough or cleantech enough for an article.)

It seems like every time there’s a natural disaster or severe storm that involves cars, the anti-EV FUD comes out in force on social media and conservative traditional media.

As Hurricane Ian makes its way toward Florida, people are on edge. Will it lose strength and become a “no big deal” storm? Will it pick up strength and blow people’s houses down? Or, will it dump more rain than expected, and do unusual damage for a storm that’s technically a lower category based on […]
