What we need is something called cozy futurism, a concept I first encountered while reading a blog post by software engineer Jose Luis Ricón Fernández de la Puente. Climate change is a great example. Last year, Jeff Bezos created a US $10 billion fund to make investments in organizations fighting climate change.

The past two years, after all, required the State Office of the Environment to not only inspect and approve the factory itself, but also the entire industrial area with several large-scale facilities. In times of climate crisis, the availability of water will play an increasingly important role for future developments and settlements.

Since internal combustion engines will remain the primary mode of choice for mobility in the foreseeable future, both alternative (renewable) fuels and high-performance combustion concepts/ engines using fuels adapted for that purpose will be preferred for reducing the combustion impact on climate change.

An electric HiLux … it’s only a concept. Or, as Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen put it: “It’s up to the FCAI to explain the clear contradiction in their two positions. Will it save our weekends but cost more than a house to do it? Which led some to ask what the f**k the FCAI was on about. Look, I get it.

The fundamental green attribute of an EV is its ability to provide personal mobility without producing tailpipe emissions, delivering an unprecedented climate benefit even after accounting for all of its life-cycle emissions. Unfortunately, our intuitive concepts about CO2 conflict with our scientific appraisal of its harmfulness.

Biofuels are commonly touted as a dual solution to the problems of dependence on foreign energy sources and climate change, but their impacts are not confined to these two areas. Such an approach has previously been used to visualize connections between concepts in the scientific literature and to identify logical gaps in study.

Among the other findings were: PEV Pioneers tend to have higher engagement in technology- or environment- oriented lifestyles, and express higher levels of environmental concern than Mainstream buyers (NVOS respondents). Most Mainstream respondents have little familiarity with PEVs, and are particularly confused about the concept of a PHEV.

The widely held belief that you need to cut mobility to fight climate change is simply not true. It requires a new concept of mobility, supported by a cluster of new technologies as well as more sustainable behaviour.” Transport 2050 is a roadmap for a competitive transport sector that increases mobility and cuts emissions.

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention.
