My travels in my non-Tesla electric vehicle (EV) had been fraught over the last few summers. There were too many times where sporadic or Level 2 charging, which provides about 25 miles of range per hour, had made my longer distance travel quite time-consuming. In 2025, though, in addition to … [continued]
The War On Renewables has reached a fever pitch in Washington as MAGA minions take their craziness to extreme new levels.
The global construction industry is at an inflection point. Mass timber has moved from an architectural curiosity to a material that countries are embracing as part of the climate and housing solution. It offers the ability to lock carbon into buildings while displacing concrete and steel, two of the most … [continued]
Mindanao in the Philippines, the southernmost island, is a power-hungry but energy-starved province. Like much of the Philippines, it is highly dependent on fossil fuels, but also has the highest potential for renewable energy in terms of wind (onshore and offshore), hydroelectric, geothermal, and solar. A significant step toward a … [continued]
