Mirai means "future" in Japanese. When Toyota made a big bet that hydrogen was the future of driving, naming its first hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell EV the Toyota Mirai seemed a fitting move for those huge ambitions. Things haven't worked out that way. As early adopters found out, the Mirai wasn't the ideal future that so many wanted it to be.

Ensuring that the company continues to evolve in what Kemper calls "a complicated space" has been critical, especially with its goal of having a significant impact on mitigating climate change. . But meeting that lofty challenge is increasingly not just a function of Kemper's gained expertise in renewables and clean technology from stints at the UN and financing clean energy projects in developing countries before founding Palmetto, he told us recently.

Oil and gas companies are heavily investing in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in an effort to reduce emissions while continuing fossil fuel production. Experts warn that CCS technology is largely unproven at the scale needed for meaningful decarbonization and that Big Oil may be using it as a greenwashing tactic.

Any time you hit the road, whether you're taking a short or long trip, it's a good idea to have backups handy. A spare or backup tire, some anti-freeze, windshield wash fluid, a road hazard kit, and, last but not least, one of the best portable tire inflators and a portable jump starter. You never know when cold weather, inadvertently leaving the dome light on, or plain old Father Time can curse you with a dead battery.

Andrzej Duda, the president of Poland, is expected to meet this weekend with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Vancouver Island, and there appears to be just one thing on the Polish president's mind: war. At a speech Friday in Vancouver before a small audience of about 100 diplomats, business leaders and global affairs experts, Duda talked about the need for fellow North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members to prepare for war, starting by increasing their defence spending to two to three per cent of GDP, continuing to supply Ukraine with weapons, and ramping up the West's military industrial capacity.

The US and its G7 allies were quick to ban Russia's coal, gas, oil and petroleum products, but has so far shied away from placing restrictions on the nation's nuclear fuel. What's behind the West's hesitation? President Joe Biden stated on April 19 that the IBEW plant in southern Ohio had produced "the first 200 pounds" (90 kg) of "that powerful enriched uranium", the first ever made in the US.

We've heard a lot about Quantum computing and somehow it seems like it's nuclear fusion - there's all of these great advances that make the news, but the idea of actual use in business seems a long way off. For me, it seems... I understand it conceptually. I just can't figure out why its possible. Maybe its' because I grew up being able to see transistors and how they work and so even though the ability to put thousands and possibly millions of transistors on a silicon chip is a feat of engineering, I still sort of know how it works.

I read an article recently predicting that the AI (Artificial Intelligence) revolution we are supposedly in, is going to result in a much greater demand for natural gas. I am sure that was not good news for people who have been promising a "zero carbon" world by 2030 or 2035.
