The latest Public Attitudes Tracking Survey conducted by the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy published this week reveals that public support for renewable energy remains hovering around an all time high.
A little more than a week ago, we published an article about a Chevy Bolt “fan commercial.” The commercial was superb and we praised it while somewhat despondently wondering why GM doesn’t create such superb commercials. There was just one problem with that — it turns out the commercial was created by GM’s team in South Korea.
With the release of the new, refreshed Nissan Leaf getting closer by the day, doing a comprehensive comparison of the two would make some sense — to help those interested in getting a Nissan LEAF decide between waiting for one of the refreshed ones or simply getting one of the current offerings now available at low price points.
In late March, we got seemingly definitive word from Tesla CEO Elon Musk that the Tesla Model 3 would not have a HUD (heads-up display). Since the unveiling event over a year ago (or even before it), there was a great deal of speculation that the 3 would include a HUD. Given how common this speculation/expectation was, it seems odd that Elon took so long to state that the 3 would not have a HUD.
CleanTechnica surveyed over 2,000 electric car drivers in 26 European countries, 49 of 50 US states, and 9 Canadian provinces to find out what early electric car adopters require and desire from their next electric cars and from EV charging networks. Basically, we asked questions we were very eager to see answers to.
A recent survey from AAA found that interest in electric vehicles amongst consumers in the US now rivals that of full-size pickup trucks.
People don’t like to be the reason something bad happens. They lose even more interest if it’s something really bad, perhaps even criminally bad.
With that in mind, it’s no surprise that some drivers have tried to blame their accidents on Tesla Autopilot. There were a couple of incidents (maybe more) where people seemed to accidentally hit “drive” instead of “reverse” or “brake,” then took out part of a wall and crashed their Tesla as a result, and then blamed the whole thing on Autopilot.
Our head of state seems to have no education or experience with solid information on the transit needs of the public at large. Nor has he taken the time to find it. He has not considered the value of good transit, as an aid to traffic concerns, employment, education, ecological issues, and more.
Despite underhanded and erroneous attempts by certain parts of the Australian government, not to mention efforts by the country’s coal and gas industries, public support for renewable energy remains high, according to new polling published this week.
Polling of Trump voters in North Carolina published last month revealed that voters consider clean energy to be an economic development issue, not a partisan issue, with 3 out of 4 Trump voters saying they are more likely to support a pro-clean energy legislator.
