Excerpt from this New York Times story:

Federal grants: On Monday, the Office of Management and Budget ordered a pause on almost all federal grants and loans, saying it was necessary to root out “D.E.I., woke gender ideology and the Green New Deal.” There is no such thing as the “Green New Deal,” but that language was clearly meant as a broadside attack on federal support for renewable energy projects. By Wednesday, the White House had rescinded that order, creating more confusion. But the scope of climate- and energy-related programs that could still be affected by such a freeze is vast, and includes several clean-energy programs and efforts working to limit pollution. Heatmap News compiled an extensive list.

Foreign aid: Last week, after a Trump executive order, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a 90-day freeze on almost all foreign aid. The stop-work order affected scores of programs around the world. Some projects have received waivers that will allow them to continue operating. But officials have already warned that programs focused on managing the impact of climate change will be permanently cut.

Fuel economy rules: On Tuesday, the newly confirmed transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, signed an order seeking to roll back fuel economy standards for automakers that had been set by the Biden administration. The move could result in more tailpipe emissions from cars and trucks, and slow the adoption of electric vehicles.

Wind power: Last week, one of President Trump’s first executive orders targeted wind energy. The move brought an immediate halt to all leasing of federal lands and waters for new wind farms, and directed federal agencies to stop issuing permits for all wind farms anywhere in the country for the time being.

Wind projects already under construction are unlikely to be affected for now. But some projects that were far along in the development process but awaiting final approvals may be scuttled.

Electric vehicles: Another executive order signed on Trump’s first day in office targeted electric vehicles. A tax credit for people buying EVs was scrapped, and federal funds intended to help install charging stations were put on hold.

While some funds that have been allocated for charging stations are still expected to be used, the moves are likely to slow the development of the electric vehicle industry in the United States, and help President Trump’s ally, Tesla chief executive Elon Musk. While Tesla is the largest EV maker in the country, it has its own network of fast chargers and stands to benefit if rival networks are slow to be built.

Some climate funding could survive: A Trump executive order targeting clean energy investments could affect the Department of Energy’s Loan Program Office, which under the Biden administration awarded $107.6 billion in loans and loan guarantees to help bring new energy technologies to market. But more than $60 billion of that has been finalized and would be hard for the Trump administration to claw back.

Companies that had received loan commitments from the agency say they are unsure when they might start receiving payments, though some pointed out that the agreements are legally binding and can’t simply be abandoned at will.

The thing that continues to shock me about the modern world is the multitude of ways we let cars ruin are lives.

Private cars continue to be a Blight, an obsession and focus on speed and size in car culture leads to accidents becoming more and more deadly.

Counties like China used to be completely dominated by bikes, now Beijing has some of the worse air quality in the world. Globally respiratory conditions in adults and children continue to rise. And co2 drives us ever closer to climate collapse

Switching to electric and hydrogen doesn't fix this either, parts still need to be mined, rubber still needs to be produced, as does plastic and old cars and bygone petrol stations need to be scrapped as many cannot be converted

Streets and cities used to be a place of community, but now they are dominated by cars. Want to go to the park? Sorry, it was torn up for a parking garage. Want to cross the road? Yeah, just wait ten minutes for all the cars to pass and get over in 10 seconds before someone decides that getting to mcdonalds is more important than traffic laws. Oh, and I hope you've not got a motor disability or are in a wheel chair or your royaly fucked.

Pedestrians used to have the right of way always, never cars. You never had to teach children to look both ways because cars were expected to stop. Of corse motor companies started paying schools to teach traffic safety and over the decades streets became devoid of people to the point where some see hanging around on a conner or playing curby as a crime.

Cars themselves cut of connections, drivers get ever more angry at simply mistakes and spend acumelate years of there life in traffic Jams. And don't think Lane expansions help, that just means the jam expands to meet the new capacity

The private car in the modern day is pointless and dangerous, cars do have a place, like for businesses or the police or I'd your disabled and public transport in nonaplicable, but other than that the car is of a bygone era

There's a reason that more young people don't buy cars and not just because there expensive and bad for the planet - though that is a factor - cars are simply to dangerous and difficult to use.

Edinburgh has experimented with banning cars from several Streets, reinstating conections and allowing kids to play. They up parking charges to dissuade people from using there car and clogging up the narrow streets, they instal low emissions zones to stop the most polluting cars entering.

And it works.

More and more people in Scotland are using public transport, the tram lines have been expanded, as have the train and bus routes. Travel becomes cheaper and these measure have begun to spread.

It's not just Scotland either, Ireland and prodigal have done similar. Brazil has expanded bike lanes to make cycling safer and introduced a bike share system.

Spain went even further and made train travel free and German citizens even tried to get Berlin to completely ban cars

The era of the car is ending, and the sooner people accept that public transport is safer, more affordable and better for the environment, the sooner and smoother the change will occur.

One day, when I'm and old lady sitting on by garden chair, I will look out and smile because coming down the street will not be and endless cavalcade of cars, it will be the odd company van, the single decker bus carrying passengers and merry children running down the streets.

Or you know we could keep using the car and literally destroy the world via climate change whatever you want really.

Johnny McTavish x reader

Warning: birth is mentioned

1,506 words

This is like the last fanfic in my notes app so other stories will take a little longer for me to write but I hope y’all bare with me lol. Anyways I hope y’all enjoy this.

The days following Johnny’s homecoming had been a whirlwind of joy, adjustments, and the occasional overwhelming moment. With his deployment over and the exciting news of your pregnancy sinking in, life had taken on a new rhythm. You and Johnny were preparing to welcome your first child into the world, and every day felt like a step closer to a new chapter in your lives.

Johnny had always been the take-charge type, but when it came to the baby, he was equal parts excited and nervous. His protective instincts kicked into high gear as he dedicated himself to preparing the nursery. You found yourself standing in what had once been his office, now an empty room with freshly painted pale yellow walls. The scent of paint lingered in the air, and sunlight streamed through the window, making the space feel warm and inviting.

Johnny stood in the middle of the room, a screwdriver in hand as he studied the instructions for the crib. His brow furrowed in concentration, and you couldn’t help but smile at how seriously he was taking the task.

“Need some help, handyman?” you teased, leaning against the doorframe.

He looked up and grinned. “Help? Nah, I’ve got this. Crib assembly is nothing compared to defusing a bomb.”

You laughed, stepping closer to him. “Well, let’s hope the baby doesn’t mind if the crib ends up a little crooked.”

He feigned offense, clutching his chest. “You wound me, love. Have a little faith.”

Despite his confidence, it took both of you—and a lot of trial and error—to get the crib assembled. By the end of it, you were both sitting on the floor, laughing at how many times you had to redo certain parts. Johnny wrapped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close as you admired your handiwork.

“Not bad,” he said, his voice filled with pride. “Our little one’s first bed.”

You rested a hand on your growing belly, feeling a wave of warmth at the thought of your baby sleeping soundly in the crib. “It’s perfect,” you said softly, turning to kiss his cheek.

Baby-proofing the house turned out to be an adventure in itself. Johnny took the task as seriously as a mission briefing, inspecting every corner of the house for potential hazards. You couldn’t help but giggle as he tested the stability of the furniture, installed safety gates, and covered every sharp edge with foam protectors.

At one point, you caught him crouched by the electrical outlets, his face a picture of determination as he secured outlet covers. “You know the baby won’t be crawling for months, right?” you asked, amused.

“Better safe than sorry,” he replied, his Scottish accent thick with mock seriousness. “Can’t have the wee one getting into trouble.”

You shook your head, laughing. “You’re going to be an amazing dad, you know that?”

He stood up and wrapped his arms around you, his expression softening. “And you’re already an amazing mum,” he said, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “We’re in this together.”

It was a quiet evening when it happened. You and Johnny were in the living room, sorting through tiny baby clothes and laughing at some of the ridiculous prints—like the onesie covered in cartoon sheep he had insisted on buying.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through your abdomen, making you gasp. You dropped the onesie, clutching your belly as Johnny’s head snapped toward you.

“Love? What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice filled with concern as he rushed to your side.

“I… I think it’s time,” you managed to say, your breath coming in short gasps.

Johnny’s eyes widened, but he quickly snapped into action. “Alright, we’re going to the hospital. I’ve got you.”

He grabbed the hospital bag you had packed weeks ago and helped you to the car, his calm demeanor masking the sheer panic he was likely feeling. The drive to the hospital was a blur of contractions and Johnny’s soothing voice, reassuring you that everything would be alright.

Hours later, the cries of your newborn filled the hospital room. Tears streamed down your face as the nurse placed the tiny bundle in your arms. Johnny sat beside you, his hand resting on your shoulder as he gazed at your baby with awe.

“She’s perfect,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “Just like her mum.”

You looked down at your daughter, her tiny fingers curling around your thumb, and felt a love so overwhelming it took your breath away. Johnny leaned down to kiss your forehead, his other hand gently stroking the baby’s cheek.

“We did it,” he said, his voice full of wonder.

“No,” you corrected, smiling up at him. “She did it. She’s already a fighter, just like her dad.”

When you arrived home the next day, you were greeted by the unexpected sight of the 141 crew waiting outside your house. Soap, Ghost, Price, and Gaz stood on the porch, each of them holding bags and boxes overflowing with gifts.

“About time you two showed up,” Soap said, grinning as he stepped forward. “We thought we’d have to storm the hospital to meet the wee one.”

Ghost, ever stoic, held a small stuffed bear in one hand. “Thought she might like this,” he said, his tone softer than usual.

Price handed over a large care package filled with homemade meals, snacks, and even a few indulgent treats for you. “Figured you two could use this,” he said. “You’ll need all the energy you can get.”

Gaz leaned against the doorframe, a pack of diapers slung over his shoulder. “Don’t say we never did anything for you,” he joked, earning a laugh from Johnny.

As the group filed into your house, their camaraderie filled the space with warmth and laughter. They took turns cooing over the baby, their tough exteriors melting away as they admired her tiny hands and feet.

“She’s beautiful,” Soap said, his voice unusually soft. “You two did good.”

That night, as the house quieted down and the baby slept soundly in her crib, you and Johnny sat together on the couch. His arm was around your shoulders, and your head rested against his chest.

“I never thought life could be this perfect,” Johnny said, his voice low and content.

You looked up at him, your heart swelling with love. “It’s perfect because of you,” you said. “Because of us.”

He kissed you softly, his hand resting on your baby’s nursery monitor. “Here’s to our little family,” he said, his voice full of hope for the future.

And as you drifted off to sleep in his arms, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, you would face them together.

This month's car review (from a Navi magazine)

difficult for men

Nissan March Cabriolet (CVT) 1.79 million yen

NISSAN MARCH CABRIOLET

The ``Cabriolet'' has been added to Nissan's ``cash cow'' March, with approximately 300,000 units sold each year around the world.

This model was originally exhibited as a reference at the 31st Tokyo Motor Show, but it was decided to go on sale this time because ``many customers requested that it be commercially available.'' However, it's already been two years since the last motor show, so I can't help but wonder, ``Why now?''

Regarding this, when the current March was announced in 1992, it was declared that there would be no model changes for 10 years. However, if we think about the next five years, we cannot rest on our laurels, so we announced the Cabriolet as the top grade of the March brand, creating a buzz and drawing attention to the March again. This seems to be a more realistic reason.It is produced by Takada Kogyo, a Nissan affiliate company that also produced the previous March-based Be-1 and Pao.

The exterior of the March Cabriolet is quite cute. In addition to simply removing the roof, a light notch was added to the rear end of the body to tighten the buttocks.

It somehow reminds me of the Peugeot 205 cabriolet.

The interior is basically the same as the March, but the seat fabric is modeled after a Milan city map and is exclusive to the Cabriolet. The chic sand beige hood is electric, so it doesn't take much time or effort to open or close it, and it only needs to be locked in two places at the top of the front window. The lowered top fits almost within the waistline of the body, but in order to secure that space, the interior length is about 10cm shorter than that of a hatchback. As a result, the rear seat has just enough space to accommodate two adults.

Unfortunately, the sky was cloudy that day, but it felt great to drive fully open on the highland roads around Risonare Kobuchizawa, which was the base for the test ride. Generally speaking, a 4-seater that opens up has a wide opening, which means that the wind is forced into the cabin, but in the case of the March, the high A-pillar of the tall boy style remains, so the side windows can be opened. Once you raise it up, the wind doesn't really bother you.

The closed-body March is available with two engines, 1ℓ and 1.3ℓ, but only the 1.3ℓ, which produces 79 ps, is available in the Cabriolet. However, due to the reinforcements added to the open body, the vehicle weighs 110kg more than before, so its power performance is on par with the liter version of a hatchback. When you step on the accelerator, the exhaust pipe emits a brave sound, but the speed does not increase as much as that sound. A roll bar (which guarantees safety in the event of a fall) is installed to ensure rigidity.

Although the roof rails (which Nissan calls them ``roof rails'') are still in place, the floor trembles when you go over a large step. Well, in any case, it's not so much that it's a hindrance to driving normally around town.

According to the person in charge of development, the keyword for the development of the March Cabriolet was ``a usable cabriolet.'' To achieve this, we focused on four points: (1) electric soft top, (2) heated glass rear window, (3) 4-seater seating, and (4) trunk-through mechanism. By the way, the Fiat Punto Cabrio, which is seen as a rival, does not have (2), and the Toyota・The Cynos Convertible does not have ① or ④. The price of the Punto is 2.45 million yen, and the advanced grade Cynos is 2.103 million yen. The March on the other hand costs 1.79 million yen for the NCVT specification, so it can be said that the March has the advantage in terms of equipment and price.

Regarding the March Cabriolet, I thought the styling was good and the construction of each part was okay, but to be honest, I felt like it was a little out of place. So, I thought, ``Why is that?'' But in the end, I thought that the March Cabriolet was too cute, or rather, it gave the impression that it was ``for girls.'' It was said to be strong. At least I can't imagine myself, a 30-year-old man, driving one, or rather, I don't really want to imagine it.

March Cabriolet, difficult for men. (Kawanishi)

PIC CAPTIONS

The March Cabriolet has a total length x width x width = 3720 x 1585 x 1430mm, and is 25mm longer and 5mm taller than the closed body. The body color is green, red, and silver as shown in the photo. Regardless of the body color, it is combined with a beige hood. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, front seat double airbags, ABS, and seatbelt pretensioners. The price is 1.79 million yen for the CVT model and 1.69 million yen for the 5MT model.

Rome Airport in Italy successfully cooperates with Nanjing AE

Background:

To encourage the purchase of electric vehicles and EV charging stations, the Italian government approved a new incentive measure, which has officially come into effect in 2023. The incentive measure is part of dedicated funding for the automotive industry, with about $8.7 billion expected to be spent in the year 2023-2024 to provide subsidies for the purchase of  vehicles of low-pollution and low-emission and charging infrastructure. The introduction of this incentive measure will inject new vitality into Italian electric vehicle market.

Policy subsidies:

What incentives are there for buying an electric car in Italy?

The most important new content of the electric vehicle incentives announced officially in 2023 include subsidies for the purchase of charging stations and a list of beneficiaries. For example, the long-term rental companies offer double subsidies for those whose income is below 30,000 euros .The total fiscal coverage of electric vehicle incentives in 2023 is $150 million.This move will further expand the user groups of electric vehicles and allow more people to enjoy the convenience and benefits of environmentally friendly travel.

Additionally, further donations are expected to be used to purchase and install electric vehicle charging stations. 40 million euros will be used to subsidize the installation of EV chargers. The policy aims to reduce net emissions to zero by the year 2050 and replace diesel vehicles by 2035 or earlier.

Current status of charging infrastructure:

By the end of 2022 , Italy had 36,772 EV chargers installed at 19,334 charging stations (stations or poles) and 14,048 public locations. Equally important, the output power of charging point is also growing.The number of ultra-fast charging points has been tripled, with the output power ranging from 100kW to 350kW. This improvement measures will greatly improve charging efficiency and meet the growing charging demand. 

The number of charging stations close to city centers and major cities is growing rapidly . There are more than 600 charging stations every 10 kilometers, aiming to solve the charging problem in the popularization of electric vehicles and provide users with more convenient charging services. Motorway charging points increase rapidly compared to the previous year. In one year, the number of charging stations has been quadrupled , with 64% of them having the power of 150kW or more, providing drivers with shorter charging times for long-distance journeys.

Case:

AE system (AEAUTO) signed a batch order of #120kW DC fast charging stations with Italian bus operators in the first half of this year. The EV chargers will be used for the airport internal bus fleet, buses, and luggage transport vehicles, to improve the overall operational efficiency of the airport and make it convenient for passengers. Meanwhile, this will reduce carbon emissions and provides employees with environmentally friendly and efficient charging service.

There are a lot of fleets in Rome airport in Italy. Including land transportation services and passenger and baggage transport vehicles within the airport area, which require dedicated base locations for maintenance and charging. These vehicles play a vital role in airport operations, providing indispensable support for maintaining flight operations and comfortable passenger travel. Therefore, providing efficient charging solutions for these electric ground service vehicles and employee electric vehicles is crucial for airports.

EV Car Charger Installation and PAT Testing in Manchester: A Complete Guide

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to rise, the need for reliable EV car charger installation in Manchester has never been greater. With the UK government pushing for a greener future and the ban on petrol and diesel cars approaching, more homeowners and businesses are investing in EV charging solutions. At the same time, ensuring electrical safety remains a top priority, making PAT testing in Manchester an essential service for landlords, businesses, and homeowners.

Powering the Future: Ireland’s Shift to EVs, Home Charging, and Solar Energy

Ireland is at a tipping point in its transition to electric vehicles and renewable energy. With record-breaking EV sales, evolving government incentives, and a surge in demand for home charging and solar power, the shift to sustainable transport and energy is no longer a distant goal—it is happening now.

At the start of 2025, new figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) confirmed what many had predicted. EV sales are soaring, with a 20 percent increase in registrations compared to the same period last year. In January alone, 4,925 new electric cars were registered—the highest monthly figure to date. February is showing an even stronger trend, with early data pointing to a 36 percent rise over last year. With petrol and diesel prices fluctuating and the expansion of charging infrastructure continuing, more Irish motorists are making the switch.

The question now is not whether electric vehicles will dominate Ireland’s roads, but how quickly the supporting infrastructure can keep pace with demand.

Rethinking How We Charge

While public charging networks continue to expand, home charging remains the most convenient and cost-effective option for EV owners. Recognising this, the government has made adjustments to the SEAI EV Home Charger Grant, which now provides €300 towards the installation of a home charging unit. Notably, this grant is available to all homeowners, even those who do not yet own an electric vehicle, provided they have off-street parking and a suitable electrical connection.

For many drivers, the process of installing a home EV charger can seem daunting, but with the right expertise, it is a seamless experience. Mark Daly, who recently had a charger installed by ePower, had this to say:

“I am delighted with E-Power. Jackie made the process simple from start to finish, looked after everything. Needed charger ASAP and was well looked after. Sean the electrician was a pure gentleman and super efficient – did a fantastic job installing the charger exactly where we wanted it, and the job was so neat and tidy. I couldn’t say enough about the whole process from start to finish.”

Mark’s experience is one that many homeowners share. With professional installation, expert guidance, and efficient customer service, home charging can be set up quickly and hassle-free, ensuring drivers can charge their EVs as conveniently as they would their phones.

A new initiative is also set to change how we think about home charging accessibility. The Shared Charging Pilot Scheme, supported by Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI), allows homeowners to rent out their chargers to other EV drivers via a peer-to-peer booking platform. This addresses a long-standing challenge in Ireland’s cities and towns, where many drivers lack private parking but still want to make the switch to an electric vehicle. By opening up private charge points for shared use, this scheme could significantly reduce pressure on the public charging network.

Solar Power and the EV Connection

Alongside the rise of EVs, solar energy is becoming an increasingly attractive option for Irish homeowners. Those who install solar panels now have the potential to power their cars using their own renewable electricity, further reducing their reliance on the grid. The combination of solar PV panels, battery storage, and a home EV charger is fast becoming a key strategy for energy-conscious homeowners looking to lower their bills and minimise their carbon footprint.

However, government incentives for solar are changing. As of January 2025, the SEAI grant for solar panel installation has been reduced from €2,100 to €1,800, with further reductions expected in the coming years. This means that homeowners considering solar energy would be wise to act sooner rather than later before financial supports decrease further.

The Business Case for EV Charging at Home

For companies with electric fleets or employees driving company-owned EVs, home charging presents both an opportunity and a challenge. Should the company cover the cost of installation and electricity, or should employees be responsible and claim back expenses? The answer depends on the business model, but with capital allowances available on EV charger installations and VAT reclaimable on related expenses, many companies are seeing the value in funding home charging solutions.

Employees, on the other hand, must weigh up the financial benefits of home charging against the evolving Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax rules. While BIK relief on electric company cars remains in place for now, it is being phased out. The exemption currently stands at €20,000 but will drop to €10,000 in 2025 and be removed entirely by 2026. For those considering an electric company car, the next year will be a crucial window to take advantage of lower tax liabilities before rates return to standard levels.

Of course, no infrastructure is perfect, and when issues arise, the mark of a great company is in how they handle them. Patsy O’Connor, an ePower customer, shared his experience dealing with a technical issue:

“The measure of a company is how they handle their customers when things go wrong. In this instance, while dealing with E-Power’s technical department, I consider myself fortunate to have met with Patrick, whom I know went above and beyond to get my issue sorted. Their service call booking team were also very helpful and pleasant.”

In a growing industry where customer service is often overlooked, efficient support and quick problem resolution set great providers apart. Businesses investing in EV charging solutions should ensure they work with companies that offer not just installation, but long-term support and technical expertise.

The Road Ahead

Ireland’s transition to electric mobility and renewable energy is accelerating, but it is not without its challenges. Grid management, infrastructure investment, and the need for smarter energy use will shape the next phase of this transition. Yet, for homeowners and businesses willing to invest now, the benefits are clear—lower costs, greater energy independence, and a reduced environmental impact.
