Don t Waste Energy Divining Energy s Future; Ride With LNG Shippers Instead A hot market for liquefied natural gas makes companies that transport the fuel sensible plays at a time when oil is demonized.
Well, it s snowing in Saudi Arabia. Quite a bit, actually. So, with that bit of real-time information, those of us in the rest of the world can come to the inescapable conclusion that we are in an unwavering inferno of heat. Except where it s cold and there, it s record cold.
We need to accept the fact that there are going to be some borderline-idiotic, Rube Goldberg-style solutions to a problem that man discovered thousands of years ago. Carbon is a terrific store of energy and it burns like crazy, so you can keep yourself warm with it and/or use that energy in different forms to make something spin and create propulsion. It s pretty basic stuff, but we have now decided that planet Earth will be much better off if we don t use such simple solutions. We ll see. Then again

I tested an approximately $31,000 Toyota Prius 2020 Edition, from the 2021 model year.
The stalwart hybrid was jazzed up with some cool blacked-out exterior and interior features, but it s still the same old Prius under the hood: a glorious piece of automotive engineering.
Two decades after its arrival on the scene, the Prius continues to make good on the promise of stupendous fuel economy 52 mpg combined! and a relaxing, money-saving, low-emission lifestyle.
Every auto journalist has a car they love beyond all measure: ancient Bugattis, unruly Lamborghinis, elegant Aston Martins, cult-classic Acuras, beat-down old pickups, off-roading SUVs, suave Alfa Romeos, peppy Miatas, the singularly brilliant Porsche 911, and oh so many Ferraris. Always the Ferraris.
