#JigarShah on high #gasprices shifting demand for #EVs & #hybrids - 192,000 public charging ports ready to go.
"At $5 per gallon, that’s $150–200 billion annually flowing out of Americans’ pockets, alongside a reduction of roughly 2–3 million barrels of oil demand per day and 300–350 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions. Clearly the technology exists in Europe and China—we already know how to build more efficient vehicles."

Comparison of pitchers on Nepenthes ventricosa x sibuyanensis clone B, and A. While the differences have become more slight for some reason, clone B tends to produce more hourglass pitchers and darker peristomes (once fully aged) contrasting a lighter body while A has more fat cylindrical traps and red color. Both have vined immensely before but still can’t quite seem to convince them to bloom…
Clone A is currently still available in the Shop, though as soon as they’re repotted both are likely to have vines chopped and propagated as they have multiples

The GuardianI know mallard hybrids are a dime a dozen, but I'm very excited anytime I see a mule, so. The Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in Portland has a male mallard-gadwall living there right now and he is very beautiful, even if the light was rough yesterday and he didn't want to cooperate much.
