One of the most beautiful places on earth has been ravaged by an unfightable wildfire. Ironically, the crews spent some of their time protecting a fossil fuel pipeline. Vermonters can get up to $6,000 towards a new EV if their old car was damaged in extreme flooding amplified by climate change. An East Coast city is saving money by buying wind power for its citizens. The grinch power company isn’t happy about losing out. The Olympic city of Paris is going green with a big emphasis on dedicated bike paths between Olympic venues.
Host Conversation:
Brian discusses watching the Olympic opening ceremonies. James talks about the impact of smoke on photography and the use of EV chargers in Jasper. James plans a road trip and notes the changes in charging infrastructure over the past year. Brian shares an update on Cummins and hydrogen powertrains.Main Stories:

A lawsuit in Saskatchewan argues that expanding gas-fired electricity generation violates Charter rights. A CES Fast Fact™ from Dr. Paul Dorfman: 67% of energy produced by a nuclear plant is lost as waste heat. China doubles cash subsidies to propel EV sales as economic growth falls short. A Brazilian cattle rancher has been ordered to pay more than $50 million for destroying part of the Amazon rainforest. Australia's solar capacity is now 35.6 GW, with two-thirds on rooftops. Man gets third-degree burns from walking on sand dunes in Death Valley. Building collisions have reduced the total number of US birds by as much as 9%. Thanks to Joe Biden’s IRA, there's more factory construction in the US than in the past 100 years. Earth registered its warmest day in more than 100,000 years on July 21. Offshore wind is expected to power 20 million UK homes within five years. Chevrolet Equinox EV is now cheaper to lease than the gas version in the US.

The new UK government has announced plans for a rooftop revolution. Cycling in Chicago has surged as the city continues to hand out free bicycles. The city said the program was necessary since Oprah stopped giving out free cars in 2004. Yes, 2004. That reference is now celebrating its 20th anniversary. China’s battery prices are at a point where the whole world is going to start to change. And you know what? I would like a battery to power me. China is taking steps to green their steelmaking industry. All new steel plants permitted so far this year will be run by electric arc furnaces rather than coal.
Main Stories:
UK Government’s Rooftop Revolution: Keir Starmer’s Labour government announced plans for a “rooftop revolution” to fit millions more homes with solar panels, lowering energy bills and tackling climate change. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband approved three solar farms this weekend, generating 500 MW and 350 MW of power, respectively.

This price drop is driving a significant shift in global energy dynamics.
Bloomberg: China’s Batteries Are Now Cheap Enough to Power Huge ShiftsChina’s Green Steelmaking: China is forbidding new coal-based steelmaking for the first time in years, shifting to electric arc furnaces for all new steel plants permitted this year.
Bloomberg: China Forbids New Coal-Based SteelmakingChicago’s Free Bicycles: Cycling in Chicago has surged as the city continues to hand out free bicycles. The program aims to improve mobility justice.
Next City: Bike Chicago Cycle Giveaway Program Is a Win for Mobility JusticeLightning Round:
Vehicle fleet age is on the rise, with the average now being 13 years. If all clean electricity projects in Canada currently planned or under construction are successfully implemented, clean electricity capacity would grow by an additional 32%. China’s thermal power generation fell 7% year-on-year in June. New research from UCalgary shows that plugging into a standard 120-volt Level 1 charger meets the daily charging needs of 29% of electric vehicle drivers. Brazil leads the G20 in renewable electricity, with 89% of its electricity coming from renewables in 2023. EPA reaches a $241 million settlement with Marathon Oil for illegal pollution at nearly 90 facilities in North Dakota. Hankook Tire has developed EV-specific snow tires that increase range without sacrificing grip in cold weather. Houston seniors are struggling with heat and power outages following Hurricane Beryl. Gogoro’s battery-swapping system launches in Bogota, Colombia. JD Vance is picked as Trump’s VP, promoting the ‘Drive American Act’. Tesla’s California virtual power plant delivers 100 MW to help the grid during peak demand. BP projects oil demand growth to peak next year. Europe is facing heat-related disruptions at oil refineries.
