Republican Party's zealous defense of fossil fuels (like coal) and opposition to clean energy are deeply irrational and driven by "fossilized stupidity" and political tribalism, not economic sense or scientific reality. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman asserts that this stance ignores the rapid technological progress making renewables competitive and the urgent need to address climate change, effectively embracing a "death wish" for the planet to appease special interests.30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study, entitled "Mortality caused by tropical cyclones in the United States" and published in Nature, reveals that excess deaths in the Southeastern U.S. are linked not to disasters themselves, but to long-term economic and health impacts from repeated exposure to climate shocks. New research shows these "invisible deaths" stem from systemic vulnerability, poor infrastructure, and underinvestment in recovery, to date taking more lives than all America's wars combined.30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Jeep's Recon Moab EV emerges as an electric Rubicon successor with removable doors and serious off-road capability, priced at $60k-$80k and range up 300 miles. But Stellantis is pulling back on EV launches due to weak demand and expiring tax credits. Meanwhile, Rivian's R2 arrives in 2026 at $45k, offering adventure capability with better value. The Recon's fate depends less on its trail prowess and more on whether Jeep commits to production in an uncertain market.30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A critique of The Critic's claim that net zero weakens the West, arguing it overlooks the economic fragility of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. While information warfare is real, these regimes face internal crises that limit their strategic reach. Western climate policy, though imperfect, is grounded in sound science and democratic debate. Net zero is not weakness - it's a test of resilience, coherence, and long-term leadership.27 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Ghostworks Marine, a Michigan-based shipbuilder, is pioneering zero-emission vessels like the M40, ECTO-10, and Minerva. With roots in high-performance racing and military design, the company blends advanced composites and electric propulsion. Their CARB certification enables California agencies to access incentives for clean marine tech, positioning Ghostworks as a leader in sustainable waterborne mobility across defense, cargo, and urban transit sectors.

The EMEA Automotive Carbon Neutral Summit 2025 will confront the gap between ambition and execution. Automakers must scale low‑carbon technologies, decarbonize sprawling supply chains, and secure renewable energy for factories and charging networks. Executives will push for clear policy, carbon pricing, and stable investment signals. Circular economy practices and global competition add urgency. The challenge: make carbon neutrality practical, profitable, and fast enough to meet climate goals.

Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.

Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.

America's waves hold vast untapped energy - enough to power over half the nation's electricity needs. Yet wave power lags behind solar and wind. Devices must survive corrosive seas and violent storms, while no single design has emerged as dominant. Developers also face years of regulatory hurdles and high costs that deter investors. New test sites like Oregon's PacWave aim to prove the technology, offering hope that wave energy can finally move from promise to reality.

Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
