Operation Warp Speed in Transportation

Operation Warp Speed in Transportation

There’s been several articles this week that describe how we are inexorably headed for a carbon free, mostly, electric future in transportation.  There have been, and still are, skeptics that don’t believe that we will get to the point by 2030, or 2035 at the latest, when every mass produced car in the US will be fully electric much less light duty…

The Walrus

The Walrus

The time has come,’ the Walrus said,       To talk of many things: Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax —       Of cabbages — and kings — And why the sea is boiling hot —       And whether pigs have wings.’ This week is a continuation of last weeks post about the end of the fossil fuel industry.  This week is specifically focused on…

Why are Electric Vehicles Like Face Masks?

Why are Electric Vehicles Like Face Masks?

Let’s talk cars.  There’s a bunch of news recently on several fronts.  Two states are passing legislation requiring all sales of new cars to be electric by 2035.  (That’s only five years after I bet on 2030 quite a few years ago.  The world is finally catching up to me!)   ELECTRIC VEHICLES: N.J. calls for 100% EVs by 2035,…

Obscure Order 2222 Opening the Way to a Clean Energy Future!!

Today’s message is that small, sometimes nearly invisible things matter in a BIG way.  Previously I’ve alerted you to NSR (New Source Review: https://franklytalking.com/altering-nsr-can-kill-you-concerned/) and how what might be an obscure adjustment to a regulation can have an enormous impact on your personal health and that of the planet. In addition, I wrote about the CRA (Congressional Review Act: https://franklytalking.com/what-the-hell-is-cra-and-why-should-you-care/) and how its…

Still Think That Fossil Fuel Assets are a Good Investment?

I hope you listened to my warnings over the past few years and divested yourself from any asset in any way tied to fossil fuels not just for moral reasons but for your own financial security.   A great deal of the asset values supporting the prices of a fossil fuel extraction company’s financial instruments is the capitalized cost of the proven…

How Many Fingers Do You Have?

How Many Fingers Do You Have?

I have been writing for a long time about following the money as it relates to climate change.  More recently I’ve been revealing how more and more finance entities have been committing to begin redirecting their capital away from fossil fuel projects and into renewable energy assets.  This started with a trickle and becoming a torrent.  When this started it was tentative and…

Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?

The last couple of messages weren’t particularly encouraging.  This one brings a better message:  The message is getting through.   The message is that climate change is REAL, something to be concerned about and will have a personal impact.     “Nearly three-quarters of respondents also said they were worried about the current global climate, with 34 percent saying they…

Once Again OUR Tax $$$s are Supporting the Fossil Fuel Industry and Therefore Climate Change

Before I start my overview of the attached article I want to address the feedback I received from many of you about my format.  Thanks to all of you who responded.  The first point was that almost everyone liked it and encouraged me not to change it.  That said, there was some confusion on the overall scheme.  So let me try to…
