Toyota is as much as its previous methods, and a few new ones. Simply after Donald “I hate California” Trump was reelected, Toyota went on the attack against California and its ZEV targets.

6. Common Primary Revenue — from the solar
Jennifer Sensiba had an interesting story on how daylight and photo voltaic panels may very well be a substitute for UBI (Common Primary Revenue) in sure locations. It’s an fascinating piece, and titillating concept.

Admittedly, I might have used that title throughout a lot of the final 15 years that I’ve been overlaying these items, however the numbers are so dramatically totally different from what they have been 15 years in the past that it’s nearly unbelievable. The recent information of the month is the world has just hit two terawatts of installed solar power capacity!
8. Sensible grid rising

Because the Photo voltaic Vitality Industries Affiliation said yesterday“The Inflation Reduction Act has done more to expand domestic manufacturing than any other piece of legislation in American history and that is helping to accelerate the politics of the energy transition.” Precisely! And it’s not solely the IRA, but in addition the Bipartisan Infrastructure Regulation and the CHIPS and Science Act. Final week, I seen that non-public investments related to these large accomplishments have reached nearly $1 trillion. So, regardless of every thing, or possibly particularly in gentle of every thing, we a minimum of wish to say thank you to Joe Biden for serving to to revive US manufacturing and make the US an even bigger cleantech economic system once more.
