...ridiculous considering that the United States overwhelmingly dominates global vehicle production and accounts for more than 20 percent of global gas consumption, although America accounts for only 4.6 percent of global population. It’s laughable that India should be criticized for attempting to enter the auto era as America’s love affair with cars enters its second century. The double standard of Western environmentalists smacks of a “do as I say, not as I do” attitude toward the Indian innovators. Not only should India’s government more actively facilitate...

Fittingly for a group that takes its name from the Buddy Holly hit “Rave On,” Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo pay homage to the ’60s-era American pop inspirations that are frequently cited but rarely revived. The band incorporates instrumental nods to their beloved Holly and Lou Reed along with close vocal harmonies that recall the pre-pubescent crooning of the Everly Brothers and the cheerful banter of the Ronettes. The Raveonettes’ unapologetic lifting...
