China is embracing solar power, with panels on the North Barren Mountain in ZhangjiakouCostfoto/NurPhoto/Getty Images A massive rollout of wind and solar power across China may mean the country’s emissions peaked in 2023, in what would be a historic turning point in the fight against climate change. China’s CO2 emissions hit an all-time high in 2023 as its economy rebounded from the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic.

A new analysis indicates that China’s carbon…

Just before this special issue on invention went to press, I got a message from IEEE senior member and patent attorney George Macdonald. Nearly two decades after I first reported on Corliss Orville “Cob” Burandt’s struggle with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the 77-year-old inventor’s patent case was being revived. From 1981 to 1990, Burandt had received a dozen U.S. patents for improvements to automotive engines, starting with his 1990 patent for variable valve-timing technology (U.S. Patent No. 4,961,406A). But he failed to convince any automakers to license his technology. What’s worse, he claims, some of the world’s major…
QUESTION: Did you honestly say that Hillary was better than Kamala? HG ANSWER: Yes. This has NOTHING to do with either’s claimed policies. As part of the vetting process years ago, the question was whether they were intelligent enough to handle the job. You need someone who is authoritarian and can stand their own between all the players for the Deep State at these cabinet meetings. Hillary has a brain, and she would not allow them to push her over. That does not mean I agree with the policies or the direction of her thinking. Kamala does not have what…

Trump, on the other hand, would present much more risk vis-a-vis his China policy. His tariff threats would wreak havoc on global trade and supply chains if carried out. He may also go even further, considering one of his former Cabinet members called for a complete decoupling from China. The trading system would eventually recover, but not before suffering prolonged turbulence. Despite this, a second Trump administration may counterintuitively make inroads with Southeast Asian governments. His transactional approach may find more support in Southeast Asia, where governments prefer to talk about deliverables such as investment deals instead of human rights…
