Elon Musk Is Turning US Liberals Off Not Just Tesla But Electric Vehicles In General
01 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Recent study published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications journal found Conservatives consistently disfavored purchasing both Teslas and EVs, irrespective of their perceptions of Musk. Liberals showed declining intentions to purchase Teslas compared with other EVs, and, to a lesser extent, declining intentions to purchase EVs in general. We found both effects to be associated with negative perceptions of Musk."For Electric Vehicles, Smaller Is Better
01 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
"Electric vehicles (EVs) are crucial for decarbonizing transportation, but the growing trend towards larger models like SUVs and pickup trucks poses a challenge. Smaller EVs consume less energy, require fewer critical minerals for batteries, and are better suited for cities. To ensure the transition to electric mobility is effective and equitable, priority should be given to smaller, more affordable EVs, alongside investments in public transport and active mobility."When Cars Go Electric: Understanding The Tipping Points Transforming Transportation
01 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
"From less than 5% new EV sales around 2013, Norway rapidly crossed critical adoption thresholds, surpassing 15% by 2016, 50% by 2019, and reaching over 90% by 2025....Mainland Europe and China are following similar trajectories today"...third theory, complex adaptive systems...describes how interconnected elements of a system react to changes, creating feedback loops that accelerate transformations."
The US Commercial Rooftop Solar Market Is About To Explode, Federal Tax Credits Or Not
31 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...it's a mystery why federal policy makers are ignoring solar in favor of other, more cumbersome and expensive domestic energy resources..."New subscription-style pay-as-you-go financing models have relieved property owners of that burden. Virtual power plants, the distributed energy resource trend, and the booming community solar movement are three additional factors supporting the commercial rooftop solar movement."
A Powerful Essay On Renewable Energy Reminds Us How Witheringly Stupid The US Has Become
31 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Environmental author and activist Bill McKibben’s recent essay highlights the rapid global rise of solar power—adding a terawatt every two years—and the potential of wind energy, contrasting it with current U.S. policies curbing renewables. He criticizes the administration's baseload bias and new Interior Department restrictions on wind and solar, warning that such moves squander a historic opportunity for domestic clean energy growth.

Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
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.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
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.
