I hope you had a wonderful holiday however you may celebrate. And let’s hope that we survive until noon on January 20th and that after that 2021 is a better year than this one. As we end 2020 I am astounded and delighted by the change that has occurred since the 2018 midterm election. The change in the public’s…
Over the decades that I have been writing these articles I have reported on a number of themes most of which relate to climate change. Of course, when writing about different themes referring to the same topic they logically compliment each other. I thought that today, rather than featuring one topic, I’d highlight several that are all intertwined. Thus, I am…
As you know, I have been writing about the adaptation of electric vehicles forever and predicting the conversion to an all electric fleet long before the “experts” have been prognosticating. One of the primary reasons is that I have faith that battery technology and competitive costs will occur quantum times faster than conventional “wisdom”. Facts on the ground continue to support my…
I started going to the mountains as a little kid back in the 50’s when my family would spend summer vacations at Sun Valley, Idaho. I started camping and canoeing when I was 9 and backpacking when I was 19.

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…
I am staying on the finances of climate change. The last post related to the IMF (International Monetary Fund) warning that: “nations must do all they can to promote a recovery that also fights against the climate-change crisis” IMF Gets On Board More and more pressure is coming to bear on investors to take into consideration the risk of directing capital…
Short but sweet today. Following up on my last two messages to you to reveal the widening acceptance and understanding that we should learn and take advantage of our current circumstances regarding the COVID – 19 pandemic as relates to climate chaos. The two concepts to which I am referring are: 1. There is a connection from this pandemic to…
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…
First of all, click on the video below and enjoy some Bee Gees music while you read this. You’ll get the connection. As I wrote about in my last post, renewable energy is blowing away fossil fuels. It’s not only a prediction any more. It’s reality. “Renewable energy beat coal for generating electricity for the first quarter of…
