Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.)

Electric Vehicles:
Volkswagen doubled EV deliveries in 2021, delivering 263k EVs worldwide.
- The most important thing in the article is a chart with their annual EV sales since 2019, showing a pretty solid trend.
A comparison between the electric Chevy Silverado and the F-150 Lightning.
- Walmart reserved 5k vans to be delivered starting in 2023.
- FedEx increased its order from 500 to 2,000 with the plan to add up to 20,000 more in the future.
- The company will employ 900 people.
- West Virginia agreed to purchase at least $15m worth of buses produced at the facility.
- This is a combined €500 million investment.
- The goal is at least 1,700 charging ports within five years.
- The chargers will be accessible to any truck, not just manufactured by the three companies in this venture.
- Rivian will pay for the charging equipment as well as 10 years of operation and maintenance.
- 13 Level 2 chargers have been converted to Rivian chargers at Yosemite with two more to come.
- 12 Level 2 chargers are going to be built at the Golden Gate area.
- These will be part of the Rivian Waypoint network.
- CCS plugs are the SAE standard used across the industry by most modern EVs.
- They applied for between $375,000-$500,000.
- This is focusing purely on operational cost/revenue, so it's not completely impossible.
Energy:
Pattern Energy Group LP has started operation of a new, 1,050MW wind project in New Mexico!
- The four projects are:
- 12.6GW of coal power is scheduled to be retired in 2022, out of the total of 14.9GW.
The EIA also projects that nearly half of new electricity generation will be solar power in 2022.
- 46% solar
- 21% natural gas
- 17% wind
- 11% batteries
- 5% nuclear
- 0.2% other
Policy:
- The new rule is expected to save 40m pounds (18m kg) of GHG emissions annually.
