Recycling aluminum uses only 5% of the energy needed to make virgin metal in smelters.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) has led the push for a nationwide bottle bill to both increase aluminum supplies and reduce reliance on plastic packaging.

Maybe it is because I don't have an account on his social media platform, but I haven't seen our President's response to one of the worst acts of political violence we've seen in this country since J6 yet.

Have you?

Tesla is desperately hoping that rolling out robotaxis will help them start to turn the tide to reverse the damage that has been done to their brand.

They're supposed to go on the roads of Austin next week so they gave a safety demonstration. E-Loon is a loon is all I have to say.

JetZero’s flagship aircraft, the Z4, features a blended-wing design that the company claims could reduce fuel consumption by as much as 50%.

The Greensboro facility is scheduled to break ground in the first half of 2026, with a prototype aircraft expected by 2027. Each Z4 will accommodate approximately 250 passengers, and the plant is projected to reach a production capacity of up to 20 aircraft a month.

Maybe hold off flying until you can fly on one these?

May was GM's second-best month in history for EV sales, which follows 94% year-over-year growth in the first quarter. In the first two months of the second quarter, GM’s share of the U.S. EV market was about 15.5%, more than double their position a year ago and approaching the company’s national market share of 17%.

The fact is that Republicans are the party responsible for our too huge national debt!

That's the modern GOP in a nutshell!

To help people make informed choices on electric vehicles, the project team created what is essentially a library lending program for EVs. Any resident in the designated region can sign up to borrow an EV, such as a Chevy Bolt or Ford F-150 Lightning, for two to six weeks for free.

Our legacy mainstream corporate media will ignore that confession though since they'll do all they can to protect the Republican Party sadly though.

The data makes one point very clear except to those unwilling to accept their responsibility:

Those who didn’t vote are as responsible for the outcome of the election as those who did.

A mine in North Carolina has found an additional source of income from selling serpentine rock dust to farmers as a soil amendment that has the added benefit of pulling carbon dioxide out of our polluted atmosphere.

These Republicon tariffs are an example of them selling access to rich American consumers. The GOP has embraced Putinism and corruption and it sure seems that our major legacy mainstream media appears to be fine with their attempt to Sovietize the USA.

I like Republicon as a nickname for them.

GM has ended range anxiety in the electric truck category.

In an independent, real-world range test by Edmunds, the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck traveled 539 miles, exceeding its official EPA estimate of 492 miles.

GM and Ford can end Tesla's reign as the largest EV supplier in the USA!

That's an area in which Americans are woefully failing to do at the pace we should be doing it.
