Electric Car Options Have Exploded In Number in USA
It is very sad that you have so few. see more And only 2 value EVs in the lot. Sadly almost all of these are in need of a complete redesign for lower weight, cost to build as otherwise they won't be able to complete. We are beginning of a 4 yr recession that will not be kind to ICEs or uncompetitive EVs Those that do will thrive, and the rest, die. see more We're still waiting on that new Bolt, which is supposed to be the same-as-before Bolt that has a newer, better battery pack retrofitted.
The End of the Gas-Powered Vehicle Era — Look at the Numbers - CleanTechnica
Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News! Responding to an article yesterday about the potential effect of repealing the US EV tax credit, one of our readers provided a great, long comment on a topic I’ve been meaning to cover for months. The “fun with numbers” part is right at the end. Check out the comment below from Tom Storey and enjoy! —Zach EV adoption has been underway for some years now.
The End of the Gas-Powered Vehicle Era — Look at the Numbers - CleanTechnica
Yup - the growth in the new tech is good... but if it's not matched by an equivalent fall in the old tech, then the benefits (in terms of cleaner climate, etc) won't be realised. Likewise (albeit less likely), a fall in legacy tech without the corresponding rise in new tech may help with cleaning the climate... or it may not (if it just means older tech is kept running longer).
U.S. Battery Capacity Increased 66% in 2024
Yes yes .... batterys are going to save our butts..... now and for the next 100years.... But how much does the USA need .... 300Gws for 8 hours or even 12 hours ..... How much pump hydro does the USA have now .... how much are they hoping to add over the next 10years.... So then the question is how much of a improvement batterys will make over the next 10years too .. And solar panels and wind turbines.... so much good tech is out there to add to the grid but they have to beat solar and wind first .....
A Small Electric SUV Produces 52% Fewer Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions than a Comparable Gasoline Vehicle
This is a good debate. The DOE has the resources to make "informed announcements" but, I don't agree with this one. The CARB has been working on combustion particulate and it's sources since 1967. Their work with the Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credit market is useful here. Gasoline and diesel are high emissions intensity fuels and this label was born of decades of research. The air in Los Angeles in the 1960's was some of the worst in the world. As of today Los Angeles is the worst in the United States.
Fact Checks: Have Electric Vehicles Sales Really Stalled?
Slowing of EV sales, yes if they are at a price point way over ICE models, but not when they are at the same price point, or even LESS than ICE models. Just read an article, not here on CT but on InsideEV's Global, that in China they expect EV sales to be at 97 % in 2035 - eleven years from now. see more That sounds a little unbelievable to me.

Investing in psychological health
As a strategic consultant in ESG to several leading property developers and contractors, I think it is increasingly apparent from the industry’s stark mental-health situation that we need to focus and offer more support in this area. The risk of suicide within the property and construction industry is more than three times higher than the male national average, equating to two people every day taking their own lives (ONS).

AlphaGo: Can an ancient Chinese board game give Google the keys to the Middle Kingdom?
If it was just about man versus machine in the ancient Chinese game of Go, then Google has come out on top. The reigning world champion, 19-year-old prodigy Ke Jie proved no match for the tech giant's artificial intelligence AlphaGo, losing the game of strategy in the picturesque water town of Wuzhen. The contest is seen as an attempt for the Californian company to make a soft entry back into the Chinese market, seven years after they withdrew amid censorship and hacking concerns.
Victorian youth justice centres 'falling apart', former insider reveals
A former worker at the Melbourne Youth Justice Centre has spoken out about a system she says is "falling apart", as a parliamentary inquiry is told the "inhumane" treatment of young inmates is creating hardened criminals rather than rehabilitating them. "The basics of the human connection and feeling safe has been taken out," former youth worker Michelle Rogers wrote.

Specific sites are being targeted for denser housing developments around Adelaide, as the South Australian Government shelves plans for widespread re-zoning across inner-city suburban areas. The move is part of the Government's 30-year plan for growing the greater Adelaide area. The final plan released today also revised down population forecasts from 560,000 by 2040, to 545,000 by 2045.

WA supermarket trashes plastic bags, replacing them with subsidised paper bags
A supermarket in a small West Australian town is absorbing the cost of providing paper bags to customers in a bid to ban plastic bags, inspired by the ABC's War on Waste. The move comes less than a year after a scheme by a nearby supermarket to reduce plastic bags by charging for them was canned in a matter of hours, after customers abused staff and accused the business of using the bags as a cash grab.
Prosecutors call for disgraced government adviser Paul Mossman to be jailed
Lawyers appealing a suspended sentence handed to a corrupt adviser to a former NT minister say he should be jailed to deter others from carrying out white-collar crimes. Paul Mossman, who was once adviser to Country Liberals minister Bess Price, walked from court in January after being handed a wholly suspended sentence for corruptly receiving benefits. The court found Mossman guilty of having service fees waived last year and earlier having the full payment of flights with his children deferred.

A number of vulnerable Tasmanian children have been left in a potentially unsafe environment for almost three months, leaving child safety workers "distressed and at a "complete loss", according to emails obtained by the ABC. Internal emails from within the Department of Health and Human Services outline how workers were left with nowhere to place the children.

Jessica Pearce was staying at a hotel in Flinders Street with her partner over the Christmas period when they came face to face with city's homeless problem.

Five-year-old male Sungai was hanging from recently installed overhead ropes when it fell over a barrier into a garden bed, prompting its mother Sekara to climb out of the enclosure to retrieve the younger primate.

State of Origin: Blues captain Boyd Cordner refuses to sledge Maroons
New South Wales Blues captain Boyd Cordner has apologised for not showing more hatred towards Queensland in the lead up to Wednesday's first State of Origin clash.

Both teams have been keen to claim underdog status while denying the opposition any extra motivation.

Perth Modern School relocation - why is it controversial?
When then-Opposition leader Mark McGowan announced in January that Labor planned to move Perth Modern School from its leafy Subiaco location to a high-rise in the city, there was an immediate outcry, with parents, students and famous alumni queuing up to condemn it. Last week a group of parents and students marched from the school to Parliament House to present the Government with a 6,000-signature petition opposing the move. Labor has been repeating the same line.

Will travel insurance cover you in a terror attack?
When you fork out hundreds of dollars for travel insurance, you probably expect it will cover any kind of emergency. But, unbeknownst to many travellers, most insurers won't offer coverage if you're caught up in a terror attack. It seems to be common knowledge for people in the travel insurance sector, but less known to actual travellers. A quick scan of several travel insurance websites showed that most policies excluded terrorism or acts of war.

New world order? Angela Merkel signals doubt about global partnerships
If German voters re-elect Angela Merkel as Chancellor in September, she will be on her way to completing a remarkable 16 years in office. In that time, she will have overlapped with or outlasted the careers of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Jacque Chirac, Nicholas Sarkozy, Francois Hollande, George W Bush, Barack Obama, John Howard, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott — to name only a few.

Costa mushroom farm at Monarto to double production and build solar farm
Mushroom production will be doubled with taxpayer backing at South Australia's biggest farm at Monarto, south-east of Adelaide.

John Travolta donates historic Boeing 707 jet to regional NSW aircraft museum
When Hollywood star John Travolta lands his historic Boeing 707 plane — registration 707JT — at Illawarra Regional Airport, it will be a significant coup for Bob De La Hunty. The pair first met in 2009 when they flew a 1955 Super Constellation from Sydney along the coast of NSW. Mr De La Hunty is the president and founder of the Historic Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS) and saved the Constellation from an American aviation graveyard in a labour of love that cost millions of dollars.

But upon retiring he found himself unable to contain his passion for the subject. "We live in an environment that is always interacting with science.
NRL players not given the share of revenue they deserve: Cam Smith
Two days from the first 2017 Origin game, Queensland's captain Cameron Smith has taken a savage swipe at the National Rugby League's (NRL) handling of the collective bargaining agreement negotiations between the code, clubs and the players association.

What will sink the housing market and drown property investors?
A growing number of middle-of-the-road, mainstream economists and policymakers now acknowledge that Australia has a housing bubble.

Social media amplifies Indigenous voices, even if they don't always agree
The impacts of social media on national conversations about Indigenous affairs have been revolutionary in the past decade. They have provided opportunities for Indigenous people to counter the deficit discourse that plagues our media and our institutions. It has provided individuals, communities and organisations with the means to engage directly with other Australians on their own terms, for better or worse.
Early deaths recorded in aged care increase across Australia, study reveals
The number of recorded deaths from preventable causes in Australian aged care homes has increased by 400 per cent, according to new research.

Lack of Canberra dermatologists forcing skin cancer patients to travel across the border
Canberra dermatology patient John Scott gets more than 50 skin cancers a year because of an auto-immune condition called Berger's disease.

However, despite his many cancers, issues stemming from chemotherapy and handfuls of pills taken daily, Mr Scott was lucky in one respect: he managed to get a dermatologist in Canberra.
Tasmanian skies turn technicolour as aurora australis arrives amid solar storm
Gabriela Moreira says she "came to Tasmania all the way from Brazil to see the beautiful people, landscape and, of course, the aurora australis". On Sunday night, she was in luck, as the aurora lit up the night sky across the state amid a strong geomagnetic storm. She wasn't the only one taking to social media to post about the spectacle, created as the Earth passed through the wake of a strong coronal mass ejection, or blast from the sun.
