It’s no secret — the 2024 US election for president is a super tight one, and the difference between what would happen under a Kamala Harris presidency versus another Donald Trump one is immense. Not enough people realize it, but Biden’s work advancing climate legislation is completely unmatched in US … [continued]

Elon Musk could be putting Tesla people in a real pickle, and not in the ways you may be thinking. Or maybe it’s just a not-very-thought-out “yeah, let’s do it!” after some mixture of imbibed potions and would never actually happen. Either way, since he’s put it out there, let’s … [continued]

As we’ve discussed a few times, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s dramatic, public departure into deep right-wing political culture has been turning many buyers and shareholders off from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). I’ve seen multiple former Tesla fans who had stock since IPO (2010) or since the Model S was launched (2012) say … [continued]

Is Elon Musk Genuinely Unwell?

Update: It seems the comment from Trump was a joke, not a reference to something Musk privately share beforehand. I have to admit — I didn’t watch or listen to the Elon Musk–Donald Trump interview. I was not confident it would be a good use of my time, and that … [continued]

Recently, I published a seven-part series on the Trump/Biden matchup, focusing on climate-relevant actions in Trump and Biden Administrations, and the campaign rhetoric and promises in 2024. Of course, Biden dropped out as the series was closing out and Harris became the candidate. Further muddying the waters, Tim Walz was … [continued]

The UAW has filed federal labor charges against what it calls “disgraced billionaires Donald Trump and Elon Musk” due to their illegal attempts to threaten and intimidate workers, whether explicitly or implicitly. Workers who self-advocate for better working conditions by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes, cannot be … [continued]

Four years ago, things looked bleak for federal action in the industrial sector. Biden and Harris’ current plan is light on specific climate action for industry as well. The committed Kigali Amendment and Paris Accord ratifications will have flow-down impacts of course. There are research dollars for low-carbon concrete and … [continued]
