Update to Sustainability WikiBook (Using the power of Generative AI)

BySustainMe

It’s been a while since the Perpetual Sustainability(tm) wikibook has been updated. The idea behind the book was that people could link through on each sustainability-related topic and find up-to-date information on the topic as only Wikipedia can provide — the genius of crowdsourcing. We let ChatGPT 4.0 work on an update (and the graphic). What do you think? YOU Q: Please generate an outline improved from the one attached that includes hyperlinks to each…

EV v ICE, What’s the Price?

EV v ICE, What’s the Price?

BySustainMe

 Every couple months something pops into my news feed or email about how bad or expensive Electric Vehicles (EVs) are compared to the olde Internal Combustion Engine (ICE machines).  (See cartoon from Yale Climate Connection Don’t be fooled: Electric vehicles really are better for the climate.) One that popped up was from a very biased web site (can’t call it a magazine or journal). The cost for EVs to operate were $17 per gallon, equivalent….

Oil & Gas Spills in North America Since 2010

ByBizMan

This was posted over in SustainZine originally, but it does pertain to Innovation. The costs of the old systems of fossil fuels are far greater than the price we all pay at the pump. Plus they are crazy subsidized (one estimate is 1% of GDP directly and about 6% indirectly). But here’s the article. *** SustainZine *** A question I sometimes ask of people who think that fossil fuels are here forever more and that…
