Over 85 scientists condemned a Trump Administration climate report for misrepresenting data and downplaying climate threats. Critics say it mimics the "tobacco strategy" - manufacturing doubt to delay action - by cherry-picking evidence and bypassing peer review. Led by fossil fuel allies, the Department of Energy's review promotes fossil fuel industry interests and could influence future policy despite broad scientific rejection.
Honda's EV Fun Concept, nicknamed "Ride the Wind," marks the brand's debut into full-size electric motorcycles. Revealed without camouflage, the sleek matte-black sportbike features CCS2 fast charging, urban-ready range, and minimalist styling. Developed by Masatsugu Tanaka, it reflects Honda's push toward electrification and is set to challenge rivals like Zero and LiveWire in the commuter EV segment.
The article recommends used EVs like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, and Fiat 500e as smart first cars for teens due to low prices (often under $10K), safety tech, and limited range that keeps teens close to home. These models are widely available, easy to maintain, and offer features like app-based tracking. Overall, they're practical, budget-friendly choices for new drivers, but also check with your insurer since EVs can have higher premiums.
Hydrogen-powered inland vessels have begun operating in the Netherlands, notably the H2 Barge 2 retrofitted with fuel-cell and electric propulsion. Operating between Rotterdam and inland terminals, it completes ~100 round trips yearly, cutting about 2,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Funded under the EU's Zero Emission Ports North Sea (ZEM Ports) project, the initiative highlights hydrogen's promise for clean maritime transport - but widespread adoption still faces cost and incentive obstacles.
India's EV sector is rapidly evolving beyond headline makers like Tesla and BYD, developing a homegrown ecosystem. Local startups and incumbents are advancing battery tech, charging networks, and deep-tech innovation. Government support -including FAME II, PLI schemes, and customs exemptions - is boosting domestic manufacturing, startups, and infrastructure. While global attention lingers on foreign brands, India's EV ecosystem is quietly maturing with scale and resilience.
Sun vs. Sagebrush: Nevada's Solar Boom Meets Its Wild Heart
12 Oct 2025 | Nevada's Esmeralda 7 solar project was canceled amid ecological concerns and political pushback. Conservationists opposed its scale and impact on desert wildlife and cultural sites. The Trump administration halted its review, citing regulatory burdens. Though 12 million acres are solar-designated, only 20,000 are developed. Advocates urge smarter siting, wildlife corridors, and use of degraded lands to balance clean energy goals with wilderness protection.
12 Oct 2025 | The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
Rivian's Infotainment Revolution: AI at the Wheel, No Smartphone Required
11 Oct 2025 | Rivian's infotainment system replaces CarPlay with a native AI-powered interface backed by Amazon and Volkswagen. It offers smart navigation, voice control, music/video streaming, and cloud-based personalization. AM radio is excluded, prompting bipartisan legislation to mandate its return. Autonomous driving integration is planned, with updates rolling out in 2025 and full features expected in the R2 by 2026.
Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
