I suppose it’s appropriate that movies starring Ant-Man aka Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) have always been rather “small” in the scheme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yes, he showed up for Captain America in 2016’s “Civil War” and played a role in saving the universe in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” but those were parts of a […]

As you’ve probably noticed, we’re in the midst of a worldwide energy transition from carbon-emitting fuels to green renewables. In the midst of such upheaval, we shouldn’t be surprised by the effects of human resistance to change, and human doubts about successful change.

When we met a scientist/college-professor/environmentalist friend on the ski trail a few days ago, we somehow got on the subject of induction cooking stoves, only to find that he’d never heard of them. We said: Wait, what?? Should we maybe revisit the subject? (previous column November 2020) It probably came up because recently there’s been […]
