However, as a large emitter of greenhouse gasses (51 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents in 2019 alone), the U.S. military has been researching, anticipating, and planning for the effects of climate change for decades.

    Vehicles of Extraction

    Originally published: Science for the People on Volume 25, no. 2, Bleeding Earth by Paris Marx (more by Science for the People)  | (Posted Oct 16, 2022)

    After years of false starts, the electric vehicle (EV) finally seems to be picking up steam. Last year, the Biden administration announced ambitious targets to increase the adoption of EVs, along with funding for a number of measures aimed at making them more attractive to Americans. By 2030, the president wants half of all new vehicle sales to be electric. To encourage that, the government is providing financial incentives for drivers to buy them, installing new charging stations across the country, helping build the supply chain, and extending support to retool the factories that are manufacturing these supposed cars of the future.1 It’s a comprehensive plan for a large-scale effort, and industry seems to be on board.
