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

Really excited that Big Tech is investing billions in cleaning up their carbon footprints by sourcing electricity from nuclear plants. Thoughts?

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. Clean Car Standards: Walz's administration adopted the "Clean Car Standards" in 2021, which align with California's vehicle emission standards. 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

Another devastating fire is raging through Northern California right now near Chico. What makes it even worse is that the fire started because of arson, and an individual has been arrested for pushing a burning car into a gully, which triggered the massive blaze. I hope people in the area stay safe.

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.

Beryl is the earliest storm to reach the most severe Category 5 level in the Atlantic. Its emergence marks an early start to the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which typically doesn’t ramp up until late July or August.

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!
