Hurricane Milton set to strike Florida

As residents of Tampa and other parts of Florida are still recovering from the widespread flooding and devastation caused by Hurricane Helene just two weeks ago, they now face the looming threat of Hurricane Milton. Forecasted to strike on Wednesday night, meteorologists warn that Milton could be a historic storm for Florida’s west coast, a region that hasn’t seen a major hurricane in decades. Experts are especially concerned because the area, vulnerable after recent storms, may not withstand another severe event so soon. Moreover, climate scientists are increasingly pointing to the role of climate change in the intensification of these storms. Warmer ocean temperatures, fueled by global warming, are contributing to the rapid intensifica...Continue Reading

Tim Walz is a climate champion

1. Climate Action Framework: In 2021, Governor Walz released a comprehensive "Climate Action Framework" that outlines Minnesota’s approach to achieving a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. The framework focuses on decarbonizing energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting clean transportation, and enhancing the resilience of communities to climate change impacts. 2.

These standards aim to reduce emissions from cars and light trucks by increasing the availability of low- and zero-emission vehicles in Minnesota. 3. 100% Clean Energy by 2040: In early 2023, Walz signed legislation committing...Continue Reading

Park Fire explodes to 239,000 acres

Another devastating fire is raging through Northern California right now near Chico.

I hope people in the area stay safe.

2024 US Presidential Election

I believe that this upcoming 2024 presidential election in the US is possibly one of the most consequential in our lives. We have a climate change denier (Trump) who will enact policies to slow the massive progress in the clean technologies revolution that Biden & his administration accelerated. The world cannot afford four more years of attack on the green revolution currently under way. Make sure to vote and encourage your friends to as well. Kamala Harris will continue the legacy of Joe Biden’s climate policies, and lead the world into a brighter and cleaner future.

Ford CEO — we need to love smaller vehicles

Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, said: ‘We have to start to get back in love with smaller vehicles. It’s super important for our society and for EV adoption’. Large, heavy EVs require a larger, more expensive battery — making it challenging to sell these larger vehicles profitably.

Offshore Wind is getting a boost

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is making preparations to auction off three Central Atlantic offshore wind lease areas totaling up to 6.3 gigawatts of capacity off the coasts of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. This will likely be able to power the equivalent of several million homes!
