My 1,900-mile road trip last week in an electric vehicle proved it's easily doable, but the charging experience is still not as seamless and convenient as pumping gas.

Why it matters: It puts an exclamation point on what we explored yesterday: low-carbon energy is surviving, in weakened form, despite the 2025 GOP budget law that slashed renewables subsidies.
The oil market is shifting quickly from a focus on war-related shortages to an emerging supply glut.
Why it matters: Oil prices drive inflation expectations, which, in turn, drive the interest rates that have been closely correlated to the stock market.
