40% by ’30? Doubtful. It will be 90 to 100%

Most of you know that my career was mostly in the automobile business basically my whole life but full time from 1976 to 2009.  That is why I have a keen interest and insight into the industry.  That shows up in this blog as I continue to read the Automotive News weekly and follow the business in other ways as…

The focus of today’s commentary is about the insurance industry and the role and the consequences that the warming planet is having on the industry and how this is and will effect your daily life.  There are two principal aspects that I am going to address.  First, how climate change is impacting insurance and the implications to each of us…

It’s been a few weeks since my last post as I took some time off to enjoy the summer as it quickly slips away from us all.  Unfortunately, the deteriorating climate doesn’t take a vacation.  You’ve undoubtedly heard about the UN report that documents how dire and irreversible the climate circumstances are.  (See the long article posted at the end of my portion.)…

What’s the Difference Between Cobalt and Magnesium?

I start today by reiterating my long standing prediction that by 2030 all new cars (and increasingly it looks like light duty trucks and maybe even some heavy duty ones too) sold in the U.S. will be fully electric or drive 95% of the time on electricity.  Back in 2014 when I first made a bet on this it was pretty…

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Boy oh boy.  A guy can’t go on vacation for a couple of weeks without the world turning up side down.  Yeah, after a year and a half barely leaving my house and now that the whole family is fully vaccinated, we took a nice break on the beach for a couple of weeks.  It sure felt good!  Fishing, tennis,…
