wired.com Molly Taft 2025-10-10 11:50:17

The Trump administration has already added nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies for oil, gas, and coal in 2025, a report released Tuesday finds, sending an additional $4 billion out the door each year for fossil fuels over the next decade.

Hyundai is out with a new concept car that previews a smaller EV that could slot below the Ioniq 5.
