In the past few days I’ve been going deep on some very odd results out of a Canadian transit think tank’s research and reports for client municipalities, finding that bad assumptions and worse scenarios resulted in $1.5 billion being taken off of hydrogen bus costs. Discussion around this led to … [continued]

What will it take to reduce the emissions of the formidable power, buildings, transportation, and agriculture industries? It will require hundreds of wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles, and storage batteries. The production of these industries, in turn, will require water, energy, rare earth elements, and critical metals to produce, … [continued]

In the past week, I’ve been digging into the underpinnings of a few Canadian cities’ current fixation on wasting serious amounts of taxpayer money on hydrogen buses. I had been ignoring it, more than not, as I’d assessed global hydrogen fleet trials and results along with exorbitant global hydrogen transportation … [continued]

Last month, Super Typhoon Capricorn struck Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China, and was one of the most severe typhoons to hit the region since 1949. In this wild weather with torrential gusts and gigantic waves, the floating Mibet solar panels pounded by the typhoon remained incredibly buoyant and sturdy. Soon after, on … [continued]

Hydrogen is the gas that’s the second best escape artist in the universe. Helium has it by an edge because while helium is four times the mass of hydrogen per unit, it comes in atoms, not molecules. Hydrogen only comes with another hydrogen atom in the hydrogen molecule, which ends … [continued]

Tyson Foods — that enormous industrial beef consortium — has found itself the object of a consumer-protection lawsuit that alleges the company was disingenuous in its communication to consumers about its efforts and progress to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. What’s at issue are claims in marketing materials like suggesting … [continued]
