One of the push backs I occasionally receive when predicting mass adaptation of EV’s is how charging will work in multi family buildings and where people use street parking. And being the eternal optimist that I am, I’ve voiced my faith that we will find solutions. And here they come. This is really an exciting development. Check it out. EV…
One again, evidence for what I have been projecting all along. The doom and gloom prognosticators are simply wrong. The research is consistently showing the TRILLIONS of $$$$$$ that will be made switching to a carbon free/fossil free electric grid. And this analysis doesn’t even take into account the social benefits not the least of which is public health. And, antidotally, I have…
Finally, there are an increasing number of well documented research papers being published that are validating what I have been saying for a long, long time: SOLVING THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS TECHNOLOGICALLY POSSIBLE AND WILL NOT DESTROY OUR ECONOMY. IN FACT, IT WILL ACTUALLY BE ECONOMICALLY PROFITABLE TO DO SO ESPECIALLY WHEN PUBLIC HEALTH COSTS ARE ALSO PART OF THE…
I have been debating in my mind as to whether to write about the new US-China climate deal that President Obama announced last week. After all, it’s been all over the main stream media and you’ve probably read enough about it such that you don’t need another article about it from me. But then I read the following piece that…
Last December 16th I published an article indicating that when a new technology reached 1% market share it was half way to 100%, as counterintuitive as that may sound. (http://www.franklytalking.com.php53-7.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/3315) That article was about electric cars. But that applies to the solar industry as well and the following charts and data show that, once again, we are close to a tipping…
The following article reports that a “sea change” appears to be occurring. As I have previously mentioned, we are moving beyond the point where it’s necessary to convince people that the climate is changing, temperatures worldwide are getting hotter and that humans are the major cause of this phenomena. While there are still climate skeptics, there are less and less of…
For me and many others, divesting their investment portfolio from fossil fuel companies is a moral issue. Like the Sierra Club Foundation, that manages a $35 million investment portfolio, we did not want to be deriving our incomes from an industry who’s output was destroying the climate. Sure, we still need gasoline and fossil fuel powered energy, at least…
A couple years ago there began a movement for investors to divest from coal and other fossil fuels similar to the movement 40 years ago to divest from South Africa stocks and products to protest apartheid. I will admit that initially I didn’t think much of this effort as I didn’t believe it would gain any traction or have any impact…
I love the following article because it really portrays how the efforts to combat climate change (warming, disruption or whatever other name you prefer) are taking hold. While I believe in the science and evidence that I have seen that indicates that adding CO2, methane and other elements to our atmosphere is heating up the planet and only beginning to cause…
