Fact Check: Renewables Not to Blame for Texas Power Price Spike
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Fact Check: Against WSJ's claim, renewables did not drive the rise in Texas electricity bills. Expert analysis shows that inflation, natural gas price surges, grid upgrade costs, and post‑freeze recovery efforts are the true drivers of higher rates. Meanwhile, clean energy continues to offer long‑term affordability. Experts warn that scaling back solar and wind could raise, not reduce, future energy costs.Are These Charging Cubes the Answer?
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
MAN Truck & Bus has launched the Smart Charging Cube - a modular battery energy storage system ranging from 500 to 1,100 kWh, with up to four fast-charge ports per unit (400 kW), extendable to 1 MW via external charging, ideal for electric truck depots, construction sites, or grid-limited areas. It supports solar input, peak shaving, bidirectional power flow, and enables rapid deployment without major infrastructureWho Really Pays for the Trump-Japan Tariff Deal? American EV Buyers Might
24 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
American consumers - especially EV buyers - are the real payers in Trump's U.S.-Japan tariff deal, warns economist Steve Rattner. Tariffs on Japanese autos don't hurt Japan; they're passed through higher prices at U.S. dealerships. Even American-made EVs using Japanese parts may see cost increases. Though the deal includes Japanese investments, there's no guarantee of job gains. Increased EV prices could slow clean-tech adoption, underscoring the hidden costs of trade policy.Dust Off : The Unexpected Side Effect Of Having More And More EVs On The Road
24 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Electric vehicles reduce not only exhaust emissions but also brake dust - a major urban pollutant. A recent EIT Urban Mobility study in London, Milan, and Barcelona found EVs cut brake-dust pollution by 83% due to regenerative braking, significantly improving air quality. While heavier EVs slightly increase tire wear, non-exhaust emissions (brake, tire, road dust) still drop by ~38% overall. Better health, cleaner cities - a win for electrification.White House Is Trying To Prop Up Coal, Oil, And Gas - But The Economics Of Fossil Fuel Are Failing
24 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Since launching his second presidential term, Donald Trump has taken aggressive steps to re-energize the U.S. fossil fuel sector—reviving coal plants, approving pipelines, expanding mining leases, and slashing renewable energy incentives. Yet a recent report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) confirms that renewables remain dramatically cheaper and more efficient than coal, oil, or gas-challenging the economic logic behind the fossil-fuel revival."

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.
