Sails on ships are a romantic and idealized vision of the world. Our history as a species includes innumerable tiny vessels pushed by wind across great expanses of featureless ocean, bold explorers and traders risking all on the science of sextants and the vagaries of the weather. But in recent … [continued]

Business and biodiversity may seem odd bedfellows at first glance. After all, doesn’t it take every possible effort to create a thriving commercial activity? Strategic roadmaps. Detailed record-keeping. A climate of collegiality. So much is needed to produce profitable goods or services. Who has time to factor in biodiversity? Pharmaceutical … [continued]

Globally, October 2024 was nominally the second warmest October since directly measured instrumental records began in 1850. Some US states are in a state of denial about the climate crisis and its effects on everyday citizens. Others are charging head-on into establishing policies and legislation that will address the shift … [continued]

Recently I collaborated with David Cebon, head of the Cambridge Centre for Sustainable Road Freight, and interested parties on a complete list of all of the abandoned hydrogen bus trials globally. There are a couple of dozen of them, and I’m pretty sure there are more transit agencies that have … [continued]

It’s been over three years since I bothered to publish an article on the dead end but glitzy space of urban air mobility with their origami electric vertical take-off and landing passenger aircraft. Instead, I focused my aviation related assessments on how aviation will actually decarbonize over the next few … [continued]

I have a lot of sympathy for Winnipeg. I’ve been there for work many times. I’ve been there in their frigid, tens of degrees Celsius below zero winters. I’ve been there in their dusty summers. I’ve even tried to get across the main intersection that pedestrians still aren’t allowed to … [continued]
