Does America's Current Interior Secretary Know What a Battery Is?
31 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum questioned the reliability of wind and solar, stating solar fails at night and dismissing batteries - as if they didn't exist. His comments came amid the administration’s plan to eliminate green energy tax credits and revoke preferential treatment for renewables. Critics pointed out the irony: under Burgum's previous tenure as North Dakota governor, wind and solar made up over 40% of that state’s electricity.Ford's "Model T Moment": What Jim Farley Is Signaling with a New EV Platform
31 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Ford CEO Jim Farley calls the upcoming August 11 debut of its next-gen EV platform a “Model T moment,” signaling a leap toward affordable, mass-market electric vehicles. Developed by a skunkworks team with ex-Tesla engineers, the flexible platform targets ~$25K pricing, U.S. production, and simplified manufacturing to compete with Chinese EVs and expand Ford’s reach beyond Mach-E and F-150 Lightning.2027 Chevy Bolt Teases Sharper Styling and a NACS Charging Port
30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...GM confirmed earlier this year will begin production at the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, by the end of 2025...the second-generation Bolt appears to be more of a deep refresh than a truly new vehicle. It sports the same egg-shaped body as the outgoing EUV model."Chevy also confirmed the Bolt will gain a NACS charging port, allowing the EV to be plugged into Tesla's massive Supercharger network."
Big Tech Wants Nuclear-Powered AI Now, But Here's What They're Not Telling Us
30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
To power US data centers with the tech would require a large-scale, all-hands-on-deck deployment of (currently non-existent) SMRs in every corner of the grid. That means a flood of funding, the use of legacy reactors in the meantime (hopefully without any accidents), and a lot of luck. In the meantime, the explosive growth in data centers will create distress for local residents, as well as the planet. A Tiny 29-Pound Electric Motor Just Beat Everyone in Power Density
30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Yasa, a UK-based engineering firm under Mercedes-Benz, has created a breakthrough prototype electric motor weighing just 28.8 lb and generating 737.5 hp - setting a new benchmark for power density at roughly 42 W/kg. While Koenigsegg's Dark Matter motor delivers 800 hp, it is significantly heavier. Yasa's design avoids exotic materials, enabling scalable production of up to 50,000 units annually.

UAE's AAM Aspirations Take Flight In Ras Al Khaimah
14 Oct 2025 | 
XPeng AeroHT completed manned flight tests of its Land Aircraft Carrier in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. The modular system combines a five-seat EV with a detachable two-seat eVTOL drone. Backed by a UAE flight permit, the tests support the country's broader strategy to lead in urban air mobility through infrastructure, regulation, and commercialization. XPeng, now branded as Aridge, has secured 600 regional orders and plans further expansion.
Can 24M's Battery Deliver 1,000 Miles?
14 Oct 2025 | 
24M Technologies claims its SemiSolid battery design could enable 1,000-mile EV range. The architecture promises higher energy density, lower costs, and improved safety, but remains in development. Real-world deployment depends on materials, manufacturing scalability, and market demand. If successful, it could redefine electric mobility.
The Twilight of Strongmen: Who Falls First - Xi, Putin, or Trump?
14 Oct 2025 | 
Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump each face rising strain despite their dominance. Xi’s grip on China remains firm but brittle, dependent on personal control and secrecy. Putin's regime, weakened by war and elite fatigue, is most likely to collapse first. Trump's fate rests with U.S. institutions and elections. Among the three, Putin risks falling first, Trump next, while Xi remains the most insulated - for now.
California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?
13 Oct 2025 | 
California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.
The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels
13 Oct 2025 | 
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
