Large #ElectricTrucks give fewer environmental benefits [Surprise - NOT!} #EVs now include larger trucks like #Ford150Lightning #DodgeRam1500, but #MIT #TrancikLab #data shows larger EVs provide #diminishing #ClimateBenefits #Heavier #EVs require more #electricity to #charge & may have a similar #EmissionsImpact to smaller gas-powered cars, although #Ford spokesperson Artealia Gilliard notes that emissions savings will improve as the #grid is #decarbonized [so...never] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/02/17/climate/electric-vehicle-emissions-truck-suv.html

Because of climate change, loss of natural environment and changing migration patterns, about 16.5 percent of bird and mammal pollinators are currently threatened with extinction. We need these pollinators for nearly 90 percent of the world’s plants and 75 percent of food crops. So no more pollinators means no more food.#WildlifeHabitat,#naturenerd,#ClimateBenefits

#NuclearFusion

If this #technology is TRULY used for #TheGood of #ThePeople it could mean unlimited, cheap, clean power for all. It could even mean #FreeEnergy.

#FusionScience could “bring electricity to the grid with no carbon 👣 , no radioactive waste & far fewer resources than it takes to harness ☀️& 💨power. Beyond #ClimateBenefits …it could help bring cheap electricity to impoverished parts of the 🌍.”
