Over the past three weeks, I’ve been assessing various aspects of the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium’s (CUTRIC) positions, research, and publications on transit bus decarbonization. I’ve published ten articles directly about CUTRIC’s material and reports, or closely related and with serious implications for their claims that both … [continued]

I am old enough to remember a day when talking politics with people who didn’t agree with you did not mean the end of a friendship quite as often as it does now. I have a lot of theories on how things got this way, but as someone who works … [continued]

Like many, I continue to be a bit baffled that someone who has led a couple of companies to great things has also proven to be extremely simple minded and gullible on other matters. In one field, it’s all about “first principles” and digging down into the heart of matters … [continued]

President Joe Biden reinstated the standard, which went into effect at most agencies. As columnist Bret Stephens asks this week in the New York Times, “Can we … [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]

The social media platform X seems to be in real trouble. Since billionaire Elon Musk acquired the site for $44 billion in 2022, it appears that X revenue streams have plummeted. The bottom line has gotten so bad that Musk has sued a global advertising alliance and several major companies, … [continued]

A couple of years ago, BF Nagy contacted me, asking if I would be interested in contributing to a book he was assembling. He already had Bill McKibben, Mark Z. Jacobson and others signed up, so how could I disagree? Fast forward two years, and the book, Proven Climate Solutions: … [continued]

You might be surprised to know that the oil, gas, and coal industries make claims that aren’t completely aligned with reality, and indeed often make claims that have no discernible relationship to it. I know, I know, it’s a shocking revelation. That’s why Canadian firms in the sector are leading … [continued]
