The House Republican Reconciliation bill is "a sledgehammer on steroids" to America's economy - @robbieorvis.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/c...

"The irony is as thick as the smog that used to choke America’s cities" as Senate Republicans - the party of state's rights - repeal California's ability to protect its citizens from toxic air pollution. @margotoge.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/margoo...

“The U.S. can lead in the future of trucking — or become a fragmented, high-cost outlier in a freight system shaped by others.”

Electric heavy duty trucks as cheap as diesel by 2030. Is this the next technology America lets other countries lead on?

Friendly reminder that climate action is not a dangerous ideology, it's a genuine effort of empathetic human beings to make the world a better place for current and future generations of humans, without prejudice to country, race, or creed.

⚡🚚 The first thing Alex Johnson notices when he slides behind the wheel of his new #electric rig isn’t the torque or the touchscreen tech. It’s the quiet.
#Electrictrucks don’t just change what powers the vehicle. They change how the job feels.

New research from @energyinnovation.org reveals that House budget cuts to the IRA would cost the U.S. "more than $1 trillion in GDP over the next decade."

@emilypont.bsky.social breaks down the findings below ⬇️

The researchers at @energyinnovation.org have modeled the effects of the current GOP reconciliation bill. Folks ... it's bad.

The top line:

"Between 2026 and 2034 (the reconciliation window), national GDP decreases by nearly $1.1 trillion, cumulatively"

I'm bad at budgeting. Is a trillion a lot?

New CEC data underscore that battery-electric trucks are on track to become the preferred next gen tech for heavy-duty vehicle. Currently there are < 70 hydrogen stations statewide vs. over 16,250 charging ports for HDVs. Electrification isn’t just coming—it's already here. Dashboard: bit.ly/3EGX3kT

The growing momentum of EVs globally is evident in their rising market share. In 2024, EVs accounted for 21% of global light-duty passenger vehicle sales, up from 18% in 2023.

But to keep up the momentum, policymakers at all levels of government must continue supporting the domestic EV market so the U.S. can close the gap with China in production and sales.

The world is clearly past peak internal combustion engine sales, with passenger vehicle sales falling for the seven straight year in 2024. EVs are driving growth, and in the U.S., trends in investment, jobs, sales, and costs are all moving in the right direction. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/BpGgk/1/

#Electricvehicles are setting U.S. sales records, generating economic growth. But repealing government #EV policies would throw all that in reverse.

🚗 ⚡ Our Chris Busch's recent piece examines the increase in EV sales in the U.S. and globally.

The stunning transformation of China's new vehicle market continues. Just released 2024 data show EVs (including plug-in hybrids) made up 49% of light-duty passenger vehicle sales last year in China, up from 38% in 2023. The future of mobility is here—and it’s electric! apnews.com/article/chin...

California vehicle manufacturing jobs have climbed to historic peaks, tripling pre-EV era levels, standing at 31,400 in the most recent BLS data. More analysis at:
