Could the European Union lead again on climate ?
As global warming impacts are increasingly scary, as both China and the US are ramping up climate change actiion, can the European Union still compete ? I would say yes, at least in two sectors : home renovations and industry.
At some point in the early 2010s, the European Union was leading on climate change action. These days, with China installing huge quantities of solar panels and producing and selling electric cars at an unprecendented rate, it’s harder to compete on these fronts. Meanwhile, the United States have launched last year the IRA (“Inflation Reduction Act “) with 369 billion dollars allocated to the…

@wizardshark, you will likely be delighted and riled up to learn about the Crosstown Concourse in Memphis, TN. The building used to be a Sears factory, and now the bottom levels are community space while the top several floors are apartments. I’ve never been, but it’s a blorbo to me. You can learn about it more at https://crosstownconcourse.com/our-history/
If anyone is interested in this issue and want to learn more about how it’s being brought to light and addressed, search terms like “circular economy”, “retrofitting”, “sustainability”, “circular renovation”, “circular construction”, and in particular “adaptive reuse” can identify all sorts of cool projects and policy changes that are making a difference. A neat search term here is “passive house principal”. The EU recently passed the Green Buildings Pact. Tangentially related is the green/sustainable construction industry, which is currently rapidly developing.
Fun fact- my apartment building used to be a highschool back in the 50s

Trasformare le auto a benzina in elettriche può essere quattro volte più economico che acquistare un nuovo veicolo elettrico.
Il retrofitting, come è noto, sta prendendo piede in America Latina.
Adducendo preoccupazioni in materia di sicurezza, alcuni paesi stanno chiedendo una regolamentazione e uno di essi ha vietato completamente l'installazione di retrofit su alcune auto.
Nel 2010, il presidente eletto dell'Uruguay José Mujica fece notizia per il mini-camion blu brillante con cui si recò alla cerimonia del suo insediamento.
Il veicolo, che sembrava un normale pick-up, è stato utilizzato per trasmettere un messaggio: l'Uruguay era serio nel suo tentativo di diventare più rispettoso dell'ambiente. Il veicolo a quattro ruote alimentato a gas era stato trasformato in un veicolo elettrico da Organización Autolibre, un'azienda locale di retrofitting.
La copertura virale della cerimonia da parte della stampa ha posto l'azienda sotto i riflettori, suscitando l'interesse degli appassionati di veicoli elettrici dentro e fuori l'Uruguay, che volevano convertire i loro veicoli ad alto consumo di carburante in veicoli elettrici economici.
"Questa copertura mediatica in molti organi di stampa in America Latina ha dato molta visibilità a questa tecnologia e, ancora oggi, ogni anno visitiamo la regione in Perù, Messico e Argentina", ha detto Gabriel González Barrios, fondatore e CEO di Organización Autolibre, a Rest of World . "Gli stessi distributori dei sistemi Autolibre ci invitano costantemente a formare i tecnici necessari per generare l'ecosistema locale per lo sviluppo locale di questo settore".
Nel corso degli anni, González Barrios e il suo team presso Organización Autolibre hanno contribuito a convertire migliaia di veicoli tradizionali in auto elettriche in 14 paesi latinoamericani. L'azienda forma persone e meccanici tramite corsi online e supervisiona le conversioni per le flotte aziendali. Finora, almeno 40 aziende hanno utilizzato i servizi di Organización Autolibre, ha affermato González Barrios. Mentre alcuni paesi hanno segnalato preoccupazioni sulla sicurezza dei veicoli di retrofit, González Barrios ha affermato che la sua azienda sta guidando gli sforzi per renderla una pratica più sicura e standardizzata in tutta l'America Latina.
"Vogliamo dimostrare che si tratta di un processo industrializzato", ha detto a Rest of World Andrés García, proprietario di un negozio di retrofitting a Bogotà, Colombia, che collabora con Autolibre . "Non è per hobbisti o persone inesperte".
González Barrios ha avuto l'idea per l'azienda nel 2006 dopo aver guardato il documentario sui cambiamenti climatici prodotto da Al Gore An Inconvenient Truth . Distributore di prodotti chimici per veicoli a gas all'epoca, è stato ispirato ad affrontare le preoccupazioni ambientali dal suo angolo di mondo.
"Abbiamo deciso di cambiare i motori a combustione dei nostri veicoli con motori elettrici a zero emissioni", ha detto González Barrios . L'esperimento ha avuto successo ed è stato conveniente, e lo ha portato a fondare Organización Autolibre.
Inizialmente, González Barrios ha utilizzato alcuni kit americani per l'ammodernamento dei veicoli, ma quando questi sono diventati troppo costosi, Autolibre ha stretto una partnership con Zhuhai Enpower Electric, un'azienda cinese di sistemi di energia elettrica.
Negli ultimi anni, con la crescita della popolarità dei veicoli elettrici, è cresciuto anche l'interesse per il retrofitting dei veicoli normali, ha detto a Rest of World Bruno González, responsabile delle vendite presso Autolibre. Nel 2011, l'azienda ha riadattato una flotta di furgoni per le consegne per Bimbo, la più grande azienda di panificazione al mondo. Bimbo non ha risposto alle domande di Rest of World.
Nel suo rapporto del 2020 su questa pratica, l'Associazione latinoamericana per la mobilità sostenibile ha rivelato che erano stati immatricolati ufficialmente almeno 145 veicoli adattati.
La Latin American Retrofit Association, co-fondata da González Barrios, ha ora più di 30 membri in tutta la regione. Tutti sono distributori di kit di retrofit per veicoli elettrici o hanno officine specializzate nel processo.
Il retrofitting dei veicoli elettrici è una pratica diffusa in tutto il mondo da oltre 30 anni, con paesi come il Giappone e l'Australia che hanno stabilito linee guida nazionali per il processo. Un rapporto della Latin American Association of Sustainable Mobility elenca 21 aziende che attualmente vendono kit di retrofit EV per diversi veicoli in tutto il mondo.
Il più grande incentivo a riadattare un veicolo è la sua convenienza, ha detto González Barrios. La maggior parte dei nuovi EV disponibili in America Latina restano fuori dalla portata degli utenti di auto normali. Uno dei modelli più popolari, la Renault Kwid elettrica, costa circa $ 18.100. Convertire un'auto a benzina o diesel esistente in un veicolo elettrico usando il processo di Autolibre parte da $ 6.000.
Poiché la pratica è in gran parte un processo fai da te, non ci sono statistiche ufficiali sul settore del retrofitting in America Latina. Molti lavori di retrofitting sono svolti "da riparatori che cercano di prolungare la vita delle loro auto a benzina poiché non possono permettersene una nuova elettrica", ha detto a Rest of World Adolfo Rojas, presidente dell'Associazione degli imprenditori per la promozione dei veicoli elettrici in Perù.
Il processo di retrofitting richiede che tecnici EV qualificati rimuovano il motore, il serbatoio del gas, lo scarico e altri componenti da un'auto normale e inseriscano il motore elettrico, le batterie, il caricabatterie di bordo e il computer nello spazio vuoto. Il peso deve essere distribuito con attenzione in modo che l'auto non si inclini da un lato. I componenti elettrici originali, come airbag e sensori, devono funzionare correttamente e la batteria non deve surriscaldarsi. Autolibre Academy, il ramo educativo dell'azienda, offre corsi online su queste competenze di base a qualsiasi appassionato di EV interessato al retrofitting, ha affermato González .
Ma Rojas ha affermato che il processo di adeguamento presenta dei rischi.
I kit di retrofitting, molti dei quali sono disponibili su mercati online come Alibaba o MercadoLibre , spesso non garantiscono un "livello minimo di sicurezza e qualità per l'unità di retrofitting", ha affermato Rojas.
Secondo gli esperti di retrofitting, una volta modificati, i veicoli adattati devono ottenere permessi governativi che ne consentano la circolazione su strada in determinati Paesi.
Nel 2021, il ministero dei trasporti cileno ha approvato una legge che vieta il retrofit di tutti i veicoli passeggeri usati. "Si stavano eseguendo dei retrofit, ma si trascurava il mantenimento del livello di sicurezza dell'auto", ha detto a Rest of World Rodrigo Salcedo, presidente della Chile's Electric Vehicle Association. I ministeri dei trasporti e dell'energia stanno preparando un regolamento sulla conformità alla sicurezza.
In Colombia, dove i veicoli riadattati non incontrano ostacoli legali, alcuni chiedono controlli più severi.
García, dell'officina di Bogotà, ha detto che sta lavorando con altri esperti e appassionati di retrofitting per fare pressione per una regolamentazione specifica, tra cui un incontro con il dipartimento dei trasporti colombiano e SENA, il servizio di formazione professionale e tecnica del paese. Ha detto che la sua azienda vende kit di retrofit esclusivamente a tecnici certificati.
Jairo Novoa, uno dei clienti di García, ha riadattato una BMW del 1981. Ha detto a Rest of World che il processo aveva senso per una vecchia auto come la sua perché i pezzi di ricambio o di riparazione sono costosi e difficili da trovare.
Sebbene la maggior parte degli oltre 11.000 veicoli elettrici della Colombia siano nuovi di zecca, quelli riadattati "non hanno nulla da invidiare", ha detto Novoa. Tranne forse "quelli molto costosi come la Tesla".

Magnitude 4.6 Aftershocks In Morocco
Magnitude 4.6 Aftershocks – Morocco In the world of seismic activity, Morocco has been no stranger to the occasional rumble beneath its surface. One such occurrence that has captured the attention of scientists and the general populace alike is the Magnitude 4.6 aftershocks that have been felt in the region. In this comprehensive article, we delve deep into the science, causes, and consequences of these tremors to help you understand this natural phenomenon better. READ ALSO: Foreshocks, Aftershocks and Mainshocks Why Do Aftershocks Occur? Understanding aftershocks is crucial before moving forward. Smaller earthquakes known as aftershocks occur after a larger seismic event, such as a mainshock or a major earthquake. These tremors happen as the crust of the Earth reacts to the stress and strain from the main earthquake. The Magnitude 4.6 aftershocks in the case of Morocco are a result of earlier seismic activity. A new aftershock shook Morocco today, causing panic among the population still recovering from the devastating earthquake that hit the country last week. The aftershock, which measured 4.8 on the Richter scale, was felt in several cities, including Rabat, Casablanca, and Marrakech. No casualties or major damages have been reported so far. Morocco has seen a number of aftershocks with a magnitude of 4.6 following a severe seismic event, further complicating the situation. These aftershocks have intensified the challenges faced by the affected regions, as residents and authorities grapple with the ongoing seismic activity. While the main earthquake event may have already caused significant disruption, aftershocks can continue for days or even weeks, prolonging the uncertainty and posing additional risks. According to experts, this kind of seismic activity is normal after a strong earthquake, as the earth’s crust adjusts to the stress changes caused by the main shock. They also warn that moderate tremors between 4 and 5 magnitude can occur weeks or even months later, and that people should be prepared and follow safety guidelines. The structural stability of buildings and infrastructure has come under scrutiny because of the aftershocks' proximity to the original seismic event. Retrofitting and earthquake-resistant building techniques are essential for reducing damage in earthquake-prone areas like Morocco. Local government agencies and emergency services have maintained their vigilance, putting response strategies into place and ensuring that impacted communities receive the support they require. To reduce dangers, evacuation procedures have been strengthened and safety precautions are being made known to the public. Although unpleasant, aftershocks are a normal part of the earthquake process. It is important to keep in mind that preparation and resilience are essential in reducing their impact, even though they might cause worry and interfere with daily life. source https://t.co/s7HOp6WQlF However, they also reassure that a second strong earthquake in the short term is less likely, although they cannot rule out that possibility entirely. They explain that the probability of a large earthquake decreases with time, but it never reaches zero. They also stress that earthquakes are unpredictable and that no reliable method exists to forecast them. In conclusion, the Magnitude 4.6 aftershocks in Morocco are a testament to the Earth's ever-changing dynamics. Understanding the geological factors at play, the triggering event and the impact on communities is crucial for preparedness. By prioritizing scientific research and proactive measures, Morocco can navigate the challenges posed by seismic activity and ensure the safety and well-being of its people. Read the full article

"This week, the Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a new rule requiring airlines to make bathrooms more accessible for disabled people. All new single-aisle aircraft will be fitted with fully-accessible lavatories.
Most flights inside the United States are single-aisle and as technology has improved, they are used more frequently for long flights, including coast-to-coast trips that can last as long as six hours. Double-aisle plans are already subject to the regulation but are primarily used for international flights.
Out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg announced the new regulations, saying, “Traveling can be stressful enough without worrying about being able to access a restroom; yet today, millions of wheelchair users are forced to choose between dehydrating themselves before boarding a plane or avoiding air travel altogether.” ...
The secretary has made it a priority to improve service on airlines during his tenure. In 2022, six airlines were forced to pay millions of dollars in refunds to hundreds of thousands of customers and were also fined millions for causing the issues. The department’s firm stance on the side of customers has continued through this year after multiple companies have had meltdowns, stranding thousands of travelers.
All planes delivered to airlines starting in 2026 must include several upgrades. Planes already in service will not need to be retrofitted unless the plane is renovated.
“These aircraft must have at least one lavatory of sufficient size to permit a passenger with a disability (with the help of an assistant, if necessary) to approach, enter, and maneuver within the aircraft lavatory, to use all lavatory facilities, and leave by means of the aircraft’s onboard wheelchair if necessary,” the DOT said in a statement.
Accessible faucets and controls, grab bars, accessible call buttons and door locks, minimum obstruction to the passage of an onboard wheelchair, and an available visual barrier for privacy are also required upgrades."
-via LGBTQ Nation, July 28, 2023
Wayyyyyyy fucking overdue but I'll take it!! Also, very nice curb cut effect: We all get to be less miserable on airplanes, and older people don't have to worry as much about airplane bathroom fall risks.
