We love journalism. We need journalism. We need local journalism, high-access national journalism that puts a check on the power elite, and deeply investigative journalism that goes where few would dream to go. If people truly respected one of the great thinkers behind the forming of the United States, they would respect that the work of journalists is valuable — critical — to a democratic society. Thomas Jefferson said:
With 2017 being such a huge breakthrough year in the transition to electric vehicles, it raises the question: “What major news, milestones, and developments related to electric vehicles will occur in 2018?”
Trump or no Trump, Wyoming makes a good case for transitioning out of coal and into wind energy, with more benefits for local ranchers.
In the electric vehicle (EV) world, 2018 is shaping up to be the year of Chinese electric vehicles and global startups. China is doing everything it can to establish its international brand in this arena — perhaps the hottest new consumer market of the 21st century. It makes us wonder how the West will react? Tesla, Volkswagen, BMW, Ford, GM, Daimler, and others have strong statements on electric vehicles and autonomous ones at that, but how prepared are each of them to genuinely compete?

As much as we’ve covered the technicality of the AV challenge, we’re even more interested in the socioeconomic backbone of the technology. How will society coordinate self-driving cars and who exactly will pay for it all?
The US solar industry is getting $12 million in grid integration research from the Trump administration, what are coal workers getting for Christmas?
Just two days ago, we were wondering what the future of the once-promising Faraday Future (FF) would be. Our question was promptly answered. Much as we predicted, ex-employees banded together to form two electric vehicle (EV) startups and continue the electric future.
What are the energy efficiency prospects for the public at large in electricity-intensive Florida? Given its poor efficiency position relative to California, wouldn’t it benefit from a big effort? Yes, it would, but . . .
This was supposed to be the month of the Tesla Model 3. Things didn’t turned out exactly as planned. But it still might be a key breakout month for the breakthrough electric car. Several of the stories this week focus on the car and its production, barely overshadowing several hot Tesla Semi stories. Have a look below for more on the Model 3, the Semi, and other topics.
Here’s an in-depth look at electric semi trucks and electric heavy-duty trucks on the market today and planned for the coming years.
