One could be forgiven for believing that, with all this talk of the coming “climate catastrophe,” Americans would be scrambling to flee Hurricane-prone states like Texas and Florida.

Honda Is Finally Getting Serious About Electric Cars
Investors have been wondering when Honda (NYSE: HMC) would get with the electric-car program, and now there’s an answer. At the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Honda’s CEO unveiled a show car called the Urban EV Concept — and said it previews a new electric Honda that will debut in 2019.
