Global e-bus adoption surged to over 700,000 units, driven by China’s dominance and Europe’s rapid growth. In 2023, Europe registered 5,000 new e-buses, with Germany, the UK, and France leading. In the Western Hemisphere, Latin America is now at the heart of the transition, with an increase of over 100% in the electric fleet between 2020 and 2023.The transition cuts emissions, noise, and operating costs, redefining public transport sustainability and efficiency.02 Nov 2025 | Synopsis
BYD executive vice president Stella Li has predicted a significant consolidation and "mass shutdown" among Chinese car manufacturers. Due to an overcrowded market and fierce price wars, she suggests that only a few major domestic brands are likely to survive the next few years. This intense competition in the EV sector is leading to a major industry shakeout.02 Nov 2025 | Synopsis
Dave Ferguson, cofounder of Nuro, is launching a new robotaxi startup in San Francisco with backing from Uber and Lucid. The venture aims to develop autonomous vehicles tailored for ride-hailing, not retrofitted from existing cars. Ferguson believes purpose-built robotaxis are key to scaling autonomy and reducing costs, signaling a new phase in self-driving mobility innovation.02 Nov 2025 | Synopsis
Environmental crusader Bill McKibben argues we should not give billionaire Bill Gates undue influence on climate policy. Gates downplays climate’s existential risks, urging focus on poverty and disease, but McKibben highlights his poor track record and past misjudgments on renewables. He stresses that climate change already devastates economies and health, especially in poorer nations, and that clean energy expansion is both urgent and profitable01 Nov 2025 | Synopsis
Even though about 70 % of miles on the 10 longest U.S. interstates are now within 10 miles of a fast-charging station, range anxiety persists among EV drivers. This Fortune article explains that the feeling of running out of charge or being stuck without a charger remains a barrier - even as infrastructure expands - because it is partly psychological and tied to driver habits and perceptions.

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.
