Our homes are a significant source of carbon emissions that are warming the planet, and sometimes it feels like we don't know how to fix it. Residential and commercial buildings account for 13% of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Some of that is a result of burning fossil fuels directly for heating and cooking, but a little more than half comes from indirect emissions of home electricity use, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To reduce those emissions, Americans will n

A new report from the International Energy Agency digs into the details of energy and AI, and I think it’s worth looking at some of the data to help clear things up. Here are four charts from the report that sum up the crucial points about AI and energy demand. 1. AI is power hungry, and the world will need to ramp up electricity supply to meet demand. This point is the most obvious, but it bears repeating: AI is exploding, and it’s going to lead to higher energy demand from data centers. “AI

North Americans love their SUVs. Minivans, not so much—despite wanting ever-larger vehicles that hold more people and more stuff. They also increasingly like electric cars, though not at the most optimistic rates projected a few years ago, in part because EVs are still pricier to buy.

A handful of engineers who worked at Lucid Motors and on Apple’s electric car project have launched a new startup that puts a fresh spin on electric hub motors. The new startup, called Conifer, has developed its motor to be free of rare earth elements by using more abundant ferrite magnets, which the company says not only reduces cost but limits supply chain risk. Conifer also says its proprietary stator offers higher efficiency and power than comparable options while being half the size.
