LONDON - Researchers warn that if the Union Glacier in Antarctica region melts, the world could be facing a crucial tipping point. Scientists have predicted that, if the planet continues down this path, sea levels by 2100 could be at least 1.4 feet higher and up to 6.6 feet higher. That could wipe out entire
DEARBORN - The future Ford BlueOval City site has been under construction in Tennessee for roughly three years now, and even though the automaker’s plan for that site has changed amid weaker-than-expected demand for electric vehicles, it remains on track for completion, regardless. It’s unclear when Ford BlueOval City will actually open, but the 3,600-acre
TOKYO - Imagine an electric vehicle, powered by a new solid-state battery, that could travel nearly 750 miles on one charge, last 30 years and fully recharge in under 10 minutes. Could this be the Holy Grail of EV proliferation? After taking a back seat on EV implementation over the last decade with only one
