One of the things I’ve found amusing while researching this series on geothermal is how much the sector’s rhetoric mirrors the natural gas and nuclear industry’s. It’s not the flex they think it is, highlighting clearly that they are the poor cousins trying to compare favorably to the affluent and … \[continued\]

There’s constant talk about improving ADAS (advanced driver assist systems), or autonomous driving tech as it’s often referred to now. BYD is rolling it into every single new model by default.

A few weeks ago, I saw a bunch of headlines about the Trump administration pulling the plug on all federal EV charging stations. Scandalous! Idiotic! Totally in character. I figured someone else on the team was going to cover it, so I didn’t look more closely. Then, no one covered … \[continued\]
