Pissing off both sides doesnโ€™t actually mean youโ€™re right. Except for @MichaelLiebrich, who has been much more right than wrong in the 15 years Iโ€™ve been following him, and admits & publishes his misses. Even on the few points I disagree with here, Iโ€™m going to think more about.

Trumpโ€™s โ€˜EV Mandateโ€™ Message May Have Helped Him Win Michigan - Inside Climate News The president-elect frequently warned Michigan voters that electric cars would ruin the auto industry. Polls suggest that message helped sway public opinion.

The irony is that killing EV incentives will likely make it impossible for the US to be competitive with Chinese models, and that will kill US auto industry exports, and eventually probably domestic sales.

Early numbers from the Western Monarch Count suggest that this yearโ€™s overwintering population is very low. So far ~7k monarchs were observed across the entire range. Even as more arrive, the peak count will likely be less than 30k. 2023 had over 200k.
