On today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about the weather and the relationship between seasons with extreme temperatures. In the last episode, I discussed weather as it relates to hurricanes, but those don’t necessarily affect the entire country as temperature does. Temperatures, especially on the extreme side, have quite an impact on most parts of the country, so it’s important for us to take a look further into it and understand what we need to do to prepare and protect ourselves from future fuel issues.

Electric vehicles offer numerous benefits over traditional gas-powered cars and trucks, including lower maintenance and fuel costs. Imagine never having to pay for gas again, as electric vehicles eliminate the need for frequent refueling. This transformative shift in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly evident, with the year 2023 potentially marking a pivotal tipping point. On April 12, the EPA introduced new mobile source regulations, primarily targeting tailpipe emissions in various vehicle classes. These stringent rules are expected to have a profoundly positive impact on the environment and human health. In this episode, we will break down this new proposal and the significant changes that will be required, prompting a transition away from diesel vehicles and towards zero-emission electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles.
