From the article:

Now, according to official statistics, China’s sales of electric vehicles and hybrids have in fact reached a tipping point. They’ve accounted for more than half of retail passenger vehicle sales in the four months from July, according to the China Passenger Car Association, a trend that’s poised to send appetite for transport fuels into a decline that will have a major impact on the oil market. [...] “The future is coming faster in China,” said Ciaran Healy, an oil analyst at the International Energy Agency in Paris. “What we’re seeing now is the medium-term expectations coming ahead of schedule, and that has implications for the shape of Chinese and global demand growth through the rest of the decade.” For a global oil market, which has come to rely on China as its main growth driver for most of this century, that will erode a major pillar of consumption. The country accounts for almost a fifth of worldwide oil demand, and gasoline makes up about a quarter of that.

India's Rail Network Runs on 96% Electricity

Image and text from this Fast Company article:

By the end of the year, India’s main rail network—around 40,000 miles long—could be 100% electrified. It’s more than 96% electrified now. In the U.S., by contrast, that number is around 1%. “India has been such an amazing example of a rapid transition of a diesel rail system to an electric rail system,” says Yasmine Agelidis, senior attorney at Earthjustice, an environmental nonprofit advocating for the U.S. to move to zero-emissions trains. “It’s a great model for the U.S. to look at because India had a lot of diesel rail already, and the U.S. is in a similar boat.”

Actually what do I study if I am kind of a little bit a stem-girlie but also really definitely not. And I like psychology, religion, languages and linguistics, cultural anthropology/ethnography. Like maths (algebraic, bad at numbers), abhor statistics, like physics (but really bad at a lot of it), dislike chemistry, is okay with biology but not extremely passionate about it quite lukewarm really though medicine is my favorite aspect of it and i kind of like it. Well?
