As tax credits for electric vehicles (EVs), rooftop solar, heat pumps, and energy-efficient windows are set to expire, there is a sense of urgency to take advantage of these soon-to-disappear opportunities. The Trump administration is winding down these credits, leaving homeowners and car owners seeking guidance to navigate the fading incentives. In related news, U.S. mines are discarding valuable critical minerals, particularly lithium, which could power millions of electric vehicles. The discard of such minerals is a significant environmental concern, particularly given the growing global demand for electric vehicles and sustainable energy solutions. Alongside these developments, new climate warnings highlight the vulnerability of people experiencing homelessness to extreme heat and the rapid depletion of freshwater resources worldwide.
