She has been a celebrated corporate chef with brands like Monark Home, Sub-Zero & Wolf, and Miele U.S.A., and has worked to showcase cooking technology such as convection, induction, speed cooking, steam cooking, and more. Recently, she co-founded the organization Kitchens to Life to “Elevate the electric kitchens conversation, educate stakeholders about today’s remarkable cooking options and facilitate the adoption and enjoyment of electric kitchens for performance, people and planet.” Personally speaking, as a private chef, when I am cooking on a gas-emitting, particulate-producing, fire-breathing gas rangetop while my forearms are singeing, my face is flushing, the overhead hood is roaring, the air conditioning is blasting, with the doors and windows shut to keep out the unprecedented wildfire smoke, and I look outside and see a blood orange surreal sunset through the lens of the world’s worst air quality in my beloved, verdant Bay Area, it frankly brings me to tears. When I help a client with a new kitchen, we look at how the cooktops, wall ovens, ventilation, secondary ovens (speed ovens, combi-steam ovens, and more) work together with today’s incredible updates and technology to do so much more with often fewer appliances than they thought possible.

The recent analysis from ARK indicates that the Tesla Model 3 (even the $44,500 Model 3 Long Range*) outcompetes the highly popular Toyota Camry on a total cost of ownership basis. According to KBB, over a three-year period the Tesla Model 3 is likely to retain 69.3% of its original sales price, 20+ percentage points or 37% more than the Toyota Camry, which will retain 48.6%,” ARK analyst Sam Korus writes. The investment firm showed how 2018 Tesla Model 3 sales compared to overall sales of all cars in various price brackets, and highlighted the Model 3 in the price category in which it fit. The result makes it clear the Model 3 has much more room to grow in its price category when you’re looking at annual cost of ownership rather than upfront cash price.

The era of oil is coming to an end, with global oil production set to halve in the next five to six years. It shows that with no new investment, global oil production — including all unconventional sources — will drop by 50% by 2025 (Figure 1). Instead of offering solutions in line with the Paris Climate Agreement, the IEA recommends “continued investment in oil and gas supply” in line with its policy, constantly overestimating the growth potential of fossil fuels (see the EWG analyses of the IEAs misleading scenarios on Energy Watch Group website). The growth of renewable energy sources worldwide provided about 70 million tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) in 2017, which is only 22% of the expected oil gap.

It was the #1 luxury car in the USA in Q1 2019, the #1 small or midsize luxury car in 2018, the #1 electric vehicle in the USA in Q1 2019 and all of 2018, the #1 top selling car in California in the second half of 2018, the 11th best selling car in the USA in 2018 and the 13th best selling car in Q1 2019, the #1 best selling car in the US in terms of revenue in Q4 2018, the #1 best selling car from an American car company in the second half of 2018, and together with the Model S accounted for 20% of US luxury car sales in 2018. Tesla wasn’t just the #1 electric vehicle or #1 small or midsize luxury vehicle or #1 luxury vehicle in these three countries. The car was #1 in Norway, and Tesla accounted for a whopping 31% of Norway’s total passenger auto sales. I wouldn’t make a bet on 2019, but I do think the Model 3 will be the best selling car in the Netherlands and Switzerland in 2020.
