From “Mechanical Engineers Rock”:

Mary Barra has consistently maintained that electric vehicles represent the long-term future of the automotive industry.

Despite fluctuations in EV demand and market conditions, General Motors continues investing heavily in battery technology, vehicle platforms, charging networks, and manufacturing capacity. The company views electrification as a central pillar of its future product strategy.

The auto industry can morph, at whatever speed it chooses, to electric transportation. A prudent CEO needs to keep customer demand front of mind throughout this process.

Big Oil, on the other hand, is in a fight for its life, and needs to actively suppress the idea that fossil fuels are having a horrific effect on the climate, human health, and any hope for world peace.

If we’re not willing to make these industries pay the price of cleaning up after themselves, the environment will continue to degrade past the point of no return.

I suppose there are people who believe that the radical left is on a path to make Christianity illegal, and perhaps to install Islam as the official religion of the United States. This is remarkable for two reasons:

a) Every schoolchild in America learns about the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion at a very young age, and

b) This country made it successfully though 250 years with no one being ignorant enough to bring up this ridiculous concern.

One would hope that this figure of near 60% would indirectly translate into Trump’s ouster before he can take full control of the U.S. government.

We vote Trump’s stooges out of office in November and replace them people of honor. Trump is impeached, convicted and removed. From there, justice takes its course.

Nordex Q3 orders jump 30% and Vestas lands about a gigawatt in Australia. Plus why turbine factories skip Australia, high project costs, and whether batteries can replace coal.
