Churches in the U.S. seem opposed to climate change. The biggest institutions Catholics, Muslims, Jewish are all solidly on board (e.g., Pope slams climate change deniers as 'stupid'). AFAIK, denialism seems to stem mostly from the paid for campaign fossil fuel companies are apparently still...

Opinion: Which is why we need carbon taxes which go towards actually removing carbon. Opinion: 😲 $75 billion in damage from one hurricane, and little of it in Florida. Didn't realize how much they affect the rest of the country.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries don't even use cobalt and they don't catch fire. And yes, some EVs do use them (e.g., Tesla Model 3, Ford Mustang).

Thank you! Hasn't happened to me yet. Lucky I guess. Well, your reference explains why they explode into fireballs... so I guess it's been a thing for a while. I do remember the Pinto was pretty prone to that. Think the NHTSA fixed most of those issues because other than movies you don't...

With triple redundancy backup according to Sandy Monroe's tear down video on it. Got a chuckle out of @Hedges post on EV's losing control because of a fire... my first thought was "why would you be driving a car when it's on fire?" There was also an inaccuracy... ICE vehicles catch fire...

Well tell us about it! What do you love/hate about it? What did it set you back, if you turn your head fast does Jarvis making retching sounds? ; -) Diabatic Air Engine Compressed air to move our cars is slow and inefficient, but heat that air up with renewable fuels for 200 miles per...

AR Motorcycle Helmet What if you could look all around you in real time? One helmet combines a rearview camera with a wide view visor to allow for a 360-degree view of the road—effectively eliminating dangerous blind spots. Wireless LED brake lights that activate whenever you hit the brakes...

Two year follow up report... So, rather than DIY I shelled out and purchased an EcoWitt Wittboy back in 2022. It's worked well and most importantly didn't die after it's first year as every outdoor weather station before it has. It's even still on it's first battery. AFAIK, the solar has...

AI deepfakes threaten to upend global elections.

Entered the April numbers in the OP, highest April to date! It's been warmer than usual, so the AC has been running and we didn't get a net power gain this month like last year (usually we run positive in winter and negative in summer with yearly negative balance). Overall a dry month that was...

Ran across this... be prepared to pay more in taxes if buying an EV: EV Drivers Pay More In Taxes And Fees Than ICE

Here's an interesting graphic from CNN as to who, by party, is registering EVs:

As Sandy Monroe says, dealers also know they won't make as much money selling them because they are more reliable. A much more reasonable explanation as to why dealers don't like them. The graphic on the right shows 38% of the population is between Very and Somewhat open to purchasing an...

New Type of Porous Material That Can Store Greenhouse Gases Capture CO2 From Flue Gas Exceeding 90%

Want a ‘green job?’ Paid Climate Corps training positions are now open Exxon Deception New York cities plagued by blackouts due to climate change, study finds Opinion: Even if the storms were intensified by climate change it is still the power companies' responsibility to keep the powerlines...

Retooling for new models/technologies is a normal cost and depends on the size, the real question is how that compares to other technologies. I saw a reference that said the average annual cost to maintain a car dealership is around $4 million; but that was everything including insurance...

Why dealerships don't like EVs

DENIAL, DISINFORMATION, AND DOUBLESPEAK:BIG OIL'S EVOLVING EFFORTS TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE Opinion: Pretty scathing for a 65 page government report summary. But, don't worry deniers! See the next headline! It's already being billed as "democrat" attack as Trump is in the...

Thread Recap This thread has been a journey. I started off as a skeptic/denier, but bad science is usually debunked after a decade and the whole topic of climate change had been around far too long not to give it a second look with an open mind. So I open Bill Gate’s book How to Avoid a Climate...

Someone asked me from the previous post about seagrass as carbon capture as it's also currently done. According to this, it's about $18/tonne. They also asked what the carbon cost would be for a gallon of gas. One gallon of gas makes ~20 pounds of CO2 (ref), so at $18/tonne, 9 kg * 18/1000 kg...

To me EVs having sound systems to sound like ICE cars has always been odd and seemed more like an attempt to hide "car noises". I've even heard there are some that when you push the "turbo" button and all it does is make the car noise louder (no actual increase). What do you all think about...

Nixon’s White House was far ahead of its time on climate research. G7 ministers gather in Italy for 'strategic' talks on climate change Cost of Climate Change DOE calls for more hydrogen Turquoise Hydrogen Opinion: are you conspiracy theorists seeing a pattern? Not like pyrolysis is new.

Not a hurricane... As you can imagine from where I live I check the satellite imagery every morning of the Atlantic. So far this year there's been one storm with category one winds, but it wasn't classified as a hurricane for whatever reason (probably not sustained long enough, locals call it...
