Clean Trucks, with Ruben Aronin

What does a zero-emission vehicle really mean?Clean transportation policies promoting sustainability have progressed over the years and have become even more important, both because transportation represents the largest portion of greenhouse gas emissions and because climate change has been accelerating at unprecedented rates. The public is likely more familiar with zero-emission cars, but zero-emission trucks are also becoming an integral part of mitigating climate and other environmental impacts.Transportation-based pollutionThe transportation industry as a whole has been the biggest source of greenhouse gasses over the time period since the Industrial Revolution. Impacts of emissions associated with transportation include harm to the environment as well as to human health. Trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles constitute six percent of the on-road fleet but produce up to 26 percent of transportation-based greenhouse gas emissions along with a plethora of pollutants that can cause various types of cancer, asthma, and other respiratory challenges. Diesel-fueled trucks and other large vehicles can also cause noise pollution and take an out-sized toll on road infrastructure. Benefits of Zero-Emission TruckingZero-emission trucking can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and emissions of other pollutants into the environment. By one estimate, US regions could save $735 billion in public health benefits due to cleaner air and result in 1.75 million fewer asthma attacks. The Inflation Reduction Act provides incentives for the manufacturing and purchasing of zero-emission trucks. People who buy zero-emission vehicles, for example, can receive significant tax breaks, subsidies, and even discounts on road tolls. Moreover, it is common for zero-emission trucks to be exempt from vehicle dimensions and weight restrictionsDrawbacks of Clean TrucksAlthough zero-emission trucks–battery electric trucks and hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks–as a whole have a lot of advantages, they still face significant challenges. For example, clean trucks may still be ill-suited for the range demanded of long-haul applications. Even with IRA incentives, clean trucks can be two and a half to three times more expensive than the diesel equivalent, although the cost of fuel and maintenance is likely less. Battery electric trucks can take up to four times longer than their diesel equivalent to charge. And even though hydrogen-operated trucks are more efficient than battery electric trucks, the US currently lacks the necessary hydrogen infrastructure to make them truly feasible. In addition, hydrogen trucks, when fully charged, have a range that is about 500 miles and battery electric… [about] 180 to 250. By comparison, a diesel truck running a full load can have a range of roughly 1000 to 1200 miles. Because the sustainable alternatives are heavier, they actually would end up carrying less and more trucks would be needed to do the same amount of work as a single diesel-powered truck could, increasing operational costs and decreasing efficiency.Aronin and Zero-Emission MobilityRuben Aronin is working to pave a path towards zero-emission mobility in the United States (especially California) with his team at Better World Group. They have worked to support multiple policies, including the Advanced Clean Truck Rule which is a significant part of California's zero-emission truck policy. That rule mandates that manufacturers–provided with four years of lead time–increase electric truck vehicle sales every year from 2025. Additionally, it promotes a 100% sales requirement of zero-emission trucks by 2036. Mr. Aronin believes that the Advanced Clean Truck Rule along with another policy, called the Advanced Clean Fleet Rule, will enable the quickest transitions to zero-emission trucks, particularly in the most pollution-burdened communities. His coalition includes the Teamsters and others to help ensure labor and environmental justice support. He also recognizes that it is often economically difficult or unfeasible for companies and individuals to purchase zero-emission trucks. To this end, tax credits and investments from the federal IRA and IAJ are essential. As the market grows, Mr. Aronin says that the price of the electric truck components and batteries are decreasing at a rapid pace.Who is Ruben Aronin?Ruben Aronin, current principal of The Better World Group, acts to advance clean transportation policies. He joined the BWG in 2012 and currently helps to lead BWG's advanced transportation project work. Aronin has previously created and implemented effective environmental policy initiatives to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy in over a dozen states across the country (including California). ResourcesAmerican Lung Association, Delivering Clean Air: Health Benefits of Zero-Emission TrucksMcKinsey, Preparing the world for zero-emission trucksFleetOwner, Future of zero-emission trucks: Challenges and promises aheadFurther ReadingMotorBiscuit, Are Pickup Trucks Really That Bad for the Environment?Tachyon, Environmental impact of trucks and sustainability practicesMcKinsey, How batteries drive the zero-emission truck transitionFor a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/clean-trucks-with-ruben-aronin/.

In this short podcast, Bryan explains the history of AWG, or American wire gauge, which is the sizing system we use for conductors in the United States. Wires weren't standardized before the 18th century (1700s). As fencing, telegraph, and electrical wires started coming out, there was a need for a standardized system. In England, a standardized system called the Birmingham wire gauge (BWG) was developed in the 1800s. The American Telegraph Company developed the American equivalent, the AWG, shortly afterward. These systems standardized wiring diameters, and the AWG's wire sizes get bigger as they get lower (including NOT wires, which are noted by the number 0 on the gauge, like 2/0). The AWG scale is a logarithmic scale, meaning that the wire sizes don't vary by a fixed amount; there is a 20% variation between diameter sizes. Our brains are programmed to understand proportionality (i.e., logarithmic values and patterns) better than discrete values. This sizing system based on a logarithmic scale makes it easier for us to observe differences between the diameters. The metric system for wire sizing is NOT logarithmic; there is a root-10 progression between sizes; this standard is called IEC 60228.   Learn more about the 5th Annual HVACR Training Symposium at https://hvacrschool.com/Symposium24.

In this episode of Digging Deep for Treasures, my special guest Kelly Kirby Worley, and I talk about the topic of surrender. I don't know about you, but I find that word difficult to swallow. The dictionary defines surrender as to “cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority. For me, thinking of the word surrender brings to mind the words, “losing face, swallowing my pride, and accepting defeat.” So how could surrender mean freedom? You might think-- isn't surrender and freedom paradoxical? So how can that be? Well, you'll have to find the answer to that when you listen to this episode of Digging Deep for Treasure. Kelly Kirby Worley is an artist, writer, and Bible teacher passionate about helping women discover that the secret to living a happy life is ever-increasing intimacy with Christ. A passion, she says, is birthed from an overflow of gratitude for what God has done and continues to do in her own heart and life: "Hearing His voice before the noise of the world and its people profoundly affected me. Today, my Breakfast with God, a/k/a, BWG, is my favorite past-time, and it's from this place of ever-increasing intimacy with Jesus, a writer was born." Kelly is an active member, volunteer leader, and Blog contributor for COMPEL Training, a faith-based online training community for writers founded by Lysa TerKeurst, President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Kelly's 30-day online Bible study designed to help women cultivate intimacy with Jesus and a love for God's Word had to be rescheduled due to Covid.

E48 That Great Business Show, 'Ireland's best business podcast'Presented by Conall O Móráin3.00" Rita Ora (yes, that RO) introduces our first guest, Catherina 'Cat' Butler, co-founder with Niall Phelan [both founders are vegan] of The Naked Collective drinks company. Cat was previously a financial controller at Lifestyle Sport, something called a 'Business Navigator' with IKEA, Finance Director at United Drug, CFO at logistics company Primeline…so all in all, nothing to do with a drinks company…AND we just love that. A truly great pivot!They produce 'naked' (nothing added, only goodness) drinks under the Mude (beloved of Rita, see above) and the So.Beer non-alcoholic beer.She explains how IT company ORTUS (www.Ortus.ie) found a workaround to stop their emails (with the word 'naked' in them) being sent to spam.She was looking for something bigger, a business that would allow her to live out her 'true values'.She wanted to leave a legacy of which she could be proud.She explains how to win a crowded marketplace and how she managed to get the support of big name retailers, including Spar and BWG, at the very beginning. They've recently been nominated for the Spar International Brand Challenger programme that will give them visibility across 13,500 shops across 48 countries.They're already selling in Ireland, the UK, Italy, Canada and the USA, where co-founder Niall has just re-located (with his family) to spearhead the 'Naked' assault on the North American market.They produce their products in the UK, Mississippi, USA and Niagra Falls, Canada. Cat explains how bad Brexit was for them. They aim to produce their drinks as near to their markets as possible.Their product was featured at the Academy Awards - and she explains how they pulled that one off.They have already raised €6 million last October and they're currently raising another €6 million for sales/marketing to grow their brands particularly in North America. Their entire team, to date, has been hired 'virtually' during the Pandemic.She wants TeamGBS to buy their products, available in Spar, Tesco and Lidl, and she wants your feedback. They're also open for funding and happy to talk to anyone who might like to invest. Her hire in a heartbeat? Roz Purcell.26.00" Alan O'Neill, author of Culture Matters - the 4 must have values to supercharge your business.'Secret' One - is the organisation culture. Culture is the most important driver of business success. He explains what he means by corporate culture. He explains why and how respect is essential in a business. But, how do you get people to adopt a corporate culture? Alan tells us how. We discuss 'pigs' working in financial services and the destruction they can leave behind.'Secret' Two - having a North Star. The team has to 'sing off the same hymn sheet'.He talks about how to train young, seventeen year-old, employees and getting them to adopt the business aims.'Secret' Three - have an ongoing review of the company strategy as companies evolve more and more rapidly nowadays. Alan thinks that 400 days is about the furthest out any business can realistically forecast nowadays.'Secret' Four - people. He explains 'customer centricity, accountability, respect and agility' - he gives examples for each in just two minutes - total!His 'hire in a heartbeat' - he's not allowed to mention one woman, but he chooses Martin Tobin of Landbell46.00" Catherine Cleary, Ashe Conrad-Jones, co-founders of Pocket Forests - planting forests in just 6sq metres. Their business is based on a 1970s concept from Japan. Interestingly, they say there are no others doing what they're doing across the island. We ask how much the service costs...but did we get an answer? They argue that planting trees in cities add value to property values.They have been hired by the Digital Hub to plant a forest in a skip. Thorntons skips have given them a free skip to plant their forest, and there's a logical reason why the skip is planted in a skip. You can now sit in your own little forest and eat lunch.Their ideal clients will have land and money and they'd love to have a developer on board.Interesting they use a 'no dig' method - that is fascinating and includes the 'lasagne method' and coffee sacks.And how many clients do they need to justify a business? Is it a side hustle? No. They both want it to be a their bread and butter business.They're still running their numbers, something that Deborah Meaden on Dragon's Den might not approve of.They're looking at a 'meal pack' of trees that they could send in the post to budding gardeners. They're already working with the Newry Felons, former political prisoners in Northern Ireland.The biggest forest they want to plant is only half a tennis court sized.The dynamic duo promised faithfully to post themselves on LinkedIn, where TeamGBS will be able to get in touch with them.

 Lisa and Amy are excited to delve into The Mystery on Cobbett's Island! Guess what? It's June again, and the BWGs time travel back to the beginning of summer for their first vacation after the end of the school year… huh? Tag-a-long Di joins the inner circle on a trip to Cobbett's Island where the Wheeler's have rented a house for the summer. They find a hidden letter that gives a hint about where a treasure chart is located, kicking off the first (maybe) mystery of the summer. Before they can leave town, Trixie needs to go shopping for a new bathing suit, which seems to be a major event. Questions in this episode? Can future doctor, Brian, treat something other than a closed head injury? Has time travel caused Diana to lose some of what little smarts she has? Why does every BWG vacation end up having a chore wheel? What's with the obvious  flirting between Brian and Honey? Is Di trying to make Mart jealous, or does she really think Peter is the tops? Maybe you'll find out, maybe you won't, but listen anyway, and Lisa and Amy will do their best to figure it out for you. In Lisa's ender, there's more fun and games courtesy of Godfrey and Lillian Frankl.

Will the BWGs catch all three specimens of the ghost fish and win the contest? How powerful is a head injury and can it actually help the patient?

Vamos chamar os homens pra conversar? Durante a pandemia, identificamos diversos efeitos do home office para as mulheres. Alguns dados já são sabidos como o aumento da violência da violência doméstica contra as mulheres e a sobrecarga dos trabalhos domésticos em cima das mulheres. Tivemos também, relatos positivos como: “Estou achando ótimo, estou até menos estressada” e aquelas que estão tentando absorver a mudança: “Eu parei de querer as coisas ‘do meu jeito', deixei rolar e parei de cobrar o apoio, tô mais leve.” Portanto, o artigo que mais me tocou foi o da jornalista Amanda Costa. Ela diz assim: “Vejo as empresas fazendo rodas de conversa terapêutica com as mulheres sobrecarregadas, mas será que esse trabalho não devia ser feito com os homens? Os (homens) que já “estão no prumo” poderiam dar o exemplo, explicar como a vida fica melhor e como é boa a sensação de tratar a parceira de igual para igual, de valorizar a mulher que tem em casa e a profissional que ela é no mercado! Fica aqui minha sugestão, para que as empresas e instituições ajudem suas mulheres por meio do incentivo aos homens!” E essa foi a motivação pra preparar esse episódio do podcast #tenho tanto pra falar. Chamo para a conversa, onde todos tem lugar de fala, Amanda Costa (Chief Kindness Officer Escola do Caos) e o Daniel Costa CMO da BWG. O que vcs acharam????

These are people who really understand Sangiovese and have a vision as to where they would like to bring it. Organic viticulture is now central to everything Castellani does. So is high tech!

On this annual birthday episode of the Beautiful Writers Podcast, my wish is to give the gift of conversations you haven’t heard before. Fresh and (hopefully) profoundly helpful content to uplevel your writing experience. Today’s show makes my heart happy. It’s a collection of excerpts from industry superstars conducted over several years for the Beautiful Writers Group (my membership community, where this podcast was born and writers get all sorts of support for $25 a month). I’m elated to finally share some of my most cherished snippets of advice from our expert series interviews, today, free of charge. We start this birthday party off with the author of "Get It Done" and "Start Right Where You Are," Samantha Bennett (who now joins me every month to answer questions in our monthly Q & A calls). Sam is a creative genius with an enviable bedside manner. Meaning, she gives our members soulful, tear-jerking, butt-kicking advice they can’t get enough of. I have no doubt she will get you motivated and EXCITED about what you can and will achieve—in as little as 15 minutes a day. Next, Harrison Scott Key—winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor for his memoir "The World's Largest Man"—will make you laugh (and blush) with his insane stories. Nothing and no one in his life are off limits. Harrison's nearly unbelievable work ethic will either scare the hell out of you or renew your faith in scaling any publishing mountain. Warning: get earplugs for the kids! (Smiley.) The bestselling author of "Paris Letters" and "A Paris Year," Janice MacLeod, helps us say YES to our writing life over everything that doesn’t matter. She shares how she scripted every writer’s dream life by ditching the day job to travel the world—in do-able steps. Plus, I can almost guarantee you’ve never heard what she learned about the power bookstores have over your book covers. (Say, what?!) Arielle Ford, author of ten books (including her international bestseller "The Soulmate Secret") has the unique mindset of having been a literary agent and top book publicist (with 12, #1 NYT bestselling placements). Though grounded and practical, Arielle bleeds mystical. For this show, she shares her Secret Sauce for connecting with the Unified Field, where everything you want—in publishing and in everyday life—is already waiting for you. Tim Grahl, book marketing rockstar, is the author of "Your First 1000 Copies" and the recent, "Running Down a Dream" and helped five of his author clients hit the NYT bestseller’s list in the same week! In this conversation, Tim talks about how to put your best foot forward on Amazon.com (where 40-65% of books are sold)—which includes details of ramping up your author page and how to get those pesky 1-star reviews removed. Author Rhonda Britten, who has one of the most painful childhood stories imaginable, created a program to keep from taking her own life. Fearless Living has healed her and countless others and led to four books and an Emmy-winning role as a life coach for TV's "Starting Over." Rhonda is always coming up with new tricks and the one she shares here—a touching exercise for connecting deeply with your book—is one of the coolest tips I’ve ever heard. And finally, acclaimed YA novelist, Aditi Khorana--who was my guest co-host here last month with best-selling novelist Rosie Walsh--shares how her 1,000-word a day diet helps her be so prolific. Among other things in this excerpt, we talk about how to train your beautiful muse to show up and play full out. I wish I had time to share all of our BWG expert interviews with you here!
