19 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Erick Guerra challenges the myth that more highways ease congestion or improve safety. He shows how induced demand, entrenched financial interests, and flawed planning standards drive endless road expansion. Instead, he calls for congestion pricing, downsizing overbuilt roads, and shifting focus from mobility to accessibility - steps he argues are vital for creating a safer, fairer, and more sustainable transportation future.New Technologies Will Hasten The End Of Fossil Fuels. Yay!
19 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Two breakthrough techs will accelerate fossil fuel decline: Hyundai's solid-state battery with copper anodes (higher energy density, safer, cheaper) & Orbis HaloDrive axial flux motor (100 Nm/kg torque, 35% cheaper, 97% efficient). Despite fossil fuel industry's political control of Congress and the Trump regime, unstoppable tech progress will make them obsolete. Let's just make sure taxpayers won't be asked to bail them out.Nuclear Alchemy: Turning Waste into Wonder Fuel
18 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Los Alamos nuclear physicist proposes converting radioactive waste into tritium - the rare $33M/kg fusion fuel that is quickly running out. Using particle accelerators & molten lithium, the process could produce 10x more tritium than fusion reactors while solving nuclear waste crisis. However, it faces challenges: massive infrastructure needs, precise timing, & unproven at scale. It could transform a liability into a climate solution.Switzerland's Innovation in Travel and Tourism: Now, Arbon's Autonomous Electric Bus to Boost Tourism
18 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Arbon, Switzerland is launching ARTOUR, the country's first autonomous electric bus, in late 2025. The Karsan e-ATAK will run a 2.5 km route with nine stops, linking the historic center to Saurer Werk 2 housing. Operated by Eurobus Ostschweiz AG under the SCCL project, it aims to boost tourism and sustainable mobility. ARTOUR offers zero-emission travel and showcases Switzerland's push toward smart, eco-friendly public transport.

False Binaries and Fossil Frames: Why the Real Climate Challenge Isn't Just Upstream
04 Nov 2025 | 
The Eurasia Review op-ed argues that decarbonizing fuels and electricity - not regulating consumer products - is the real climate priority. But this framing creates a false binary. Demand-side policies like EV mandates and efficiency standards drive upstream change. Ignoring them weakens climate strategy. Effective solutions require systems thinking, not either-or arguments. Climate action must target both supply and demand to succeed.
Tailpipe Truthers and the Post-EV Gambit: Mazda's Contrarian Climate Play
04 Nov 2025 |
Mazda challenges EV orthodoxy by arguing that tailpipe emissions alone don't tell the full climate story. At the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, it promoted a lifecycle emissions approach, favoring plug-in hybrids, synthetic fuels, and fuel-flexible drivetrains over full electrification. Critics see this as stalling, but Mazda frames it as a long-term bet on energy diversity and grid realism. Whether it’s visionary or outdated depends on how the world decarbonizes.
Trail Theater: Toyota's Scion 01 Concept Reviewed
04 Nov 2025 | 
Toyota's Scion 01 Concept is a hybrid off-road side-by-side with bold styling and a Tacoma-derived powertrain. It features "Silent Mode" for short-range electric-only driving but lacks plug-in capability or new battery tech. Despite its aggressive design and nostalgic branding, it offers no real innovation - just a repackaged hybrid system in a concept shell. It's more marketing theater than a meaningful step forward in electric mobility.
He Tracked Toxic Wells in America's Parks. Then the Government Cut Him Loose.
03 Nov 2025 | 
Jonathon Kolak, the only federal scientist tracking abandoned oil and gas wells in U.S. national parks, was abruptly fired in 2023. His work exposed methane leaks and legacy pollution across public lands. No replacement was named. Critics say his dismissal signals a retreat from environmental accountability and transparency, just as the U.S. faces mounting climate and cleanup challenges.
China's Thorium Breakthrough: A Strategic Leap Toward Safer, Sustainable Nuclear Energy
03 Nov 2025 | 
China's Thorium Molten Salt Reactor achieved the world's first thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, proving thorium can generate uranium-233 for future reactors. The experimental setup doesn't produce electricity but validates fuel viability. China aims to build a 100 MW demonstration reactor by 2035. This breakthrough supports safer, scalable nuclear energy and positions China as a leader in fourth-generation reactor technology.
