"According to the draft agreement passed down by the CPUC, Cruise will initially be limited to a 30-car electric vehicle fleet, and those cars are restricted to roving around San Fransisco’s less congested neighborhoods. Rides can only happen between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and any rides during "heavy rain or fog" aren't allowed, either."
"During an investor event last year...Cruise CEO Dan Ammann detailed plans to grow its fleet to thousands."

"...in Germany, nearly 14 percent of new cars sold in 2021 were battery EVs, and another 12.5 percent were plug-in hybrids. Even Brexit-beleaguered Britain is having a BEV bonanza at 11.6 percent of new car sales last year.
"The good news for those who want to see EV adoption increase in the US is that consumer interest is higher than ever...CarMax says that starting in 2021, it has seen a steady growth in customer searching"...for EVs.

"Tesla owners purchase the cars, and frequently the stock, because they care about the environment and adore the way they drive and look. But much of their passion has been complicated by Musk’s behavior and public musings."
Tesla owners and investors share their complicated views of the man at the helm of the car company they really enjoy and appreciate.

"China's car exports are taking off, many of them are electric vehicles and most are going to Europe. From almost nothing a few years ago, China exported half a million electric vehicles in 2021, and its market share in Europe was second only to Germany's. As the car market goes electric, Europe could quickly find itself running a trade deficit with China in automobiles."

Two companies aim to reinvent wind power. Airloom Energy uses a low, oval ground track with small blades for easy transport and installation in places big turbines can't go. Radia takes the opposite approach, developing a giant aircraft to deliver ultra‑large blades to remote regions. Both target wind's biggest barrier: logistics, signaling a new era of experimental turbine design.

The repeal of the CO2 endangerment finding marked a major shift in U.S. climate policy. EPA chief Lee Zeldin, long aligned with fossil‑fuel interests, drove the rollback through a fast, opaque process critics say ignores science and raises long‑term economic and environmental risks. Courts or a future administration could restore the finding, and Congress could codify it to prevent future reversals.

A recent Waymo robotaxi crash in Phoenix has become a test of public trust in autonomous vehicles. The incident involved an electric Waymo SUV striking a towed pickup, prompting federal scrutiny and renewed debate over robotaxi readiness. Waymo and other U.S. and Chinese operators use electric platforms, linking autonomy to electrification. The crash highlights that public confidence, not engineering alone, will shape the future of robotaxis.

A claim that renewable energy is making extreme weather worse flips cause and effect. Climate change, driven by fossil fuels, is damaging solar and wind projects, not caused by them. There is no scientific evidence that renewables intensify storms or heatwaves. Instead, they cut emissions and reduce long-term climate risk. The narrative that renewables worsen climate change is a misinformation tactic, not a serious reading of the science.

A Daily Mail article claims electric cars deliver no carbon savings, but it relies on a narrow UK study that compares EV charging emissions to tailpipes only, ignoring oil extraction, refining, and fuel distribution. When lithium refining and battery production are included for EVs and upstream oil emissions are included for ICE vehicles, peer reviewed lifecycle studies show EVs still deliver substantial lifetime carbon savings, especially as grids decarbonize.
