I am continuing on with a series of messages about how the climate is warming and what the impact is on the ground. The next several articles are designed to provide a broad overview of the many ways a warming planet is changing and the science behind this phenomenon. One particular trend to note is that all the changes are happening…
I’ve had a few people get in touch to see if I am OK since I hadn’t sent anything since December. Well, I’m fine but just took some time off from blogging. But in that time I’ve been stockpiling material. I’d like to start out the year reminding you about what is happening to our Earth, just in case you think…
Following is an informative article about the status of lithium production and how its supply is critical to the growth of the EV market. Here are the critical passages… “In the last two years, lithium production has not been enough to meet demand. As a result, lithium stockpiles have diminished,” said James Frith, an energy storage analyst at Bloomberg…
My articles have continuously reported to you the dramatic development of electric vehicles and predicted that their adaptation will be much more rapid than is being predicted by the mainstream media and prognosticators. I’ll repeat my belief: By 2030 all mass marketed light duty vehicles in the US will be either fully electric or drive 80% of the time on electricity. It…
Investment firms that manage TRILLIONS of dollars are well aware of how climate change challenges the financial risk of their investments. Even if our federal government says they are pro business, their actions to address climate change in any way and alleviate the enormous economic cost to business as the climate warms up, is contrary to this reality. They are totally…

He’s working with Louisiana officials on moving people off Isle de Jean Charles,…
The Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is under attack again to be opened up for drilling for oil. Oil companies, and their surrogates in Congress, and now, the White House, just can’t help themselves. They have to rape and destroy every and any spectacular landscape on the planet… in the name of short term profits. In a world that is quickly moving…
We adults who are fighting to save our Planet Earth from the worst effects of climate change are want to say it’s for our kids and grandkids that we do this. While we are already experiencing the beginning consequences of a warmer climate, it is the next generations that will feel the worst impacts. If I live another 20 or…
Remember in the old movie, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, when Humphrey Bogart is pinned down by the bandits and they say they are the Federales? Bogart asks to see their badges. The head bandit says, “Badges? We don’t need no badges?” https://youtu.be/XT8hE7_8BCY Well, under the Trump Administration that’s where we’re headed…nobody with badges. Let’s gut the EPA both locally and…
In case you need a reminder of how fast things are changing in the energy markets here’s another article projecting the future success of solar energy. I hope you’ve noticed a continuing theme that prices continue to fall faster than predicted and adaptation progresses at a growing pace beyond what anyone is willing to stick their neck out and project. …
