Well, here we go. Aside from some truly insane and absurd Cabinet picks, which I’m not even going to write about here (but let’s just say it’s well beyond putting the foxes in charge of the henhouse), we’re getting some initial leaks on Donald Trump’s legislative plans when he takes … [continued]

There are a lot of takes going around that try to explain why Donald Trump — despite all of this — won the election against Kamala Harris. Some of it has validity around the edges. Some of it definitely doesn’t. But when it comes down to it, this was a … [continued]

We are all in a weird place right now with what to expect in the US EV market in the coming years. That’s in large part because we have no real idea what Donald Trump is actually going to do with regard to EVs, the economy, and tariffs. Yes, he … [continued]

Let’s just start this off by saying that Donald Trump doesn’t have a lot of deep longstanding beliefs on topics that don’t directly concern him. And he’s one of the most transactional politicians I’ve ever seen, in a world of course where politicians are exceptionally transactional. We assume many things … [continued]

A Lame Duck Can Be A Mean Duck, & That’s What We Need Right Now

The term “lame duck” describes weakness. A lame duck can’t keep up with the rest of its flock, and thus can more easily fall to predators. A politician facing the end of their last term ends up in a similar position, with little to no influence because everyone knows they’ll … [continued]

And what would that mean? On the most recent Tesla quarterly conference call, Elon Musk brought up the possibility of creating US policy on self-driving cars. “There should be a federal approval process for autonomous vehicles.” This would theoretically be through the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) issued by … [continued]

For the past eight years, the United States has been missing in action in climate leadership globally. Biden’s climate policy experiments, aimed as much at attempting to deal with the root causes of working class and middle class grievance as at useful emissions reductions, will persist in some diminished form. … [continued]

The election hasn’t officially been called, but it’s close enough. Donald Trump — despite all of this and much, much more — will be president of the United States again. Let’s be honest, there are much more important issues than the US EV market now, but given that our focus … [continued]
