China's shift to electric trucks may reshape global fuel demand
China is rapidly replacing its aging diesel trucks with electric models, signaling a major shift in the world’s largest vehicle market. Sales of electric trucks jumped 175% in the first half of 2025, with battery-electric vehicles now making up more than a fifth of the market. Electric trucks are now cheaper to buy and operate than diesel ones. Forecasts suggest heavy-duty electrics could account for half of new sales by 2028. Analysts estimate that the transition is displacing a substantial …

On the one hand, it does little to accuse the MAGA right of hypocrisy,
because they expressly reject moral and logical consistency,
aiming only for dominance and retribution.
On the other, it’s worth examining the way they bamboozled a majority of Americans into
believing conservatives are simply fighting for the principles of free expression and intellectual diversity.
The key to understanding this is recognizing how the right worked around the limitations …

A day after his latest inauguration, Trump pardoned the founder of the Silk Road website, which was notorious as a dark web drug den.
This was followed by the strange commutation for the founder of the Gangster Disciples in Chicago, who flooded the Windy City wi…
