The Bristell B23 Energic, an all-electric trainer aircraft from BRM Aero and H55, offers smooth handling, low operating costs ($8–$9/hr), and a 60-minute flight time under EASA rules. FAA limits U.S. flights to 40 minutes due to stricter reserves, but upgrades are planned. Despite reduced payload from battery weight, performance rivals piston aircraft. Its success signals growing momentum in electric aviation.18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Leaked images reveal Rivian's upcoming e-bike, developed by its spinoff ALSO Inc. The sleek, silver prototype features full suspension, cargo rack, and inverted fork - blending utility with Rivian's signature design. Backed by a $1B valuation, ALSO aims to disrupt micromobility with a bold October launch. The bike signals Rivian's move beyond trucks, building a broader electric mobility ecosystem for urban riders and lifestyle commuters.18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
BYD, once China's fastest-growing EV maker and 2024's top seller globally, is now facing serious headwinds. Since May, its domestic sales have begun to shrink while international deliveries aren't enough to compensate. A fierce price war - central to its rapid rise - is under regulatory scrutiny in Beijing. Margins are being squeezed by aggressive discounting, and the company must now navigate cooling demand, tighter oversight, and investor pressure amid declining profits.18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Early climate models from the 1960s accurately predicted key warming patterns - Arctic amplification, faster land heating, and nighttime temperature rise. Developed by pioneers like Syukuro Manabe, these models proved surprisingly robust. Their success boosts confidence in today's forecasts, which warn of accelerating disruption. What's worrying isn't just the warming - it's how fast it's unfolding, with risks to ecosystems, infrastructure, and global stability.18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Tesla's proposed $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk ties rewards to extreme goals like an $8.5 trillion market cap and mass deployment of robotaxis and humanoid bots. Critics say it's not just excessive—it's structurally reckless, concentrating power without time-commitment safeguards and risking distorted priorities. The LATimes argues this isn't bold innovation, but a governance failure with long-term risks to shareholders and corporate accountability.

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 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.

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.
