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…
At our last Sierra Club Board Meeting in November we voted unequivocally to oppose hydraulic fracturing commonly known as fracking. I enthusiastically support this position and policy. My personal opinion is that we are not going to realistically be able to stop all fracking in the U.S. tomorrow. But the sooner the better. Before we destroy our water tables, poison…
In case you were wondering what all the fuss about climate change is about and if it is really happening here are the numbers. This is quite definitive and, in my opinion, pretty scary. And things are, excuse the pun, just heating up. We’ve already locked in increasing consequences for decades to come. I made a business presentation last…
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…
According to the following article we still have time to mitigate the worst consequences of melting Antarctica Glaciers. If we eliminate our emissions of CO2 rapidly we can prevent the worst consequences of sea level rise. If the worst case scenarios are avoided then we can allow future generations the time needed to adopt to significantly higher sea levels…
While this is a relatively longer article than most I send out, it is an excellent piece on where we are right now in the US on Climate Change. I know that there are folks that don’t even believe that the climate is changing and temperatures are getting warmer and refute the basic premise of this article (some…
Imagine it is 1964 and the CEO/Chairman of Phillip Morris at a company Annual Meeting makes a statement to the affect that “We now believe that smoking is the worst thing you could ever do for your health, causes cancer and other terrible health problems and has a good chance of killing you. Furthermore, we are going to label all…
A short note to start the week… China. We’ll see what they actually do but at least they are now saying the right things. I know there are skeptics out there that get this email but it’s better to hear the Chinese say the right things and hopefully act on their words rather than having them even deny a…
