I am going to be totally without controversy today and say “Happy Mothers Day” to all the moms out there. You are all amazing. Ok…. most of you are. Some of you raised little a-holes but we can talk more about that on Father’s Day.

I kid. Let’s talk climate change for a second. Carbon free is a cool concept but I ask, what changes are we willing to make to make it happen? Everyone has a plan but no one is talking about the practical consequences.

Here’s a fact. The US emits 13% of the world’s emissions (China is 26%) and 28% of those emissions are created from Electricity generation and another 28% from transportation. Electric cars NEED electricity and 30% of that in the US is generated from coal. Which is carbon! So electric cars are super cool… but where does the electricity come from? Also… ever read an article about where all the rare earth minerals we use in batteries and such come from…here’s one that should scare the hell out of you.
