China's 600 Wh/kg Lithium-Metal Battery Breakthrough: Hype or Real Progress?

19 Aug 2025 | Synopsis

Chinese researchers report lithium-metal pouch cells reaching 600 Wh/kg - nearly double today's EV batteries. Published in Nature, the work uses a novel electrolyte and shows promising density but only ~100 cycles, far short of EV needs. Scaling, safety, and cost remain unproven. While credible science, it's early-stage. Current leaders like CATL, BYD, Amprius, and SES offer lower but durable densities; no one is yet close to 600 Wh/kg for real EVs.

The Infinite - and Insatiable - Growth of Highways

19 Aug 2025 | Synopsis

Erick Guerra challenges the myth that more highways ease congestion or improve safety. He shows how induced demand, entrenched financial interests, and flawed planning standards drive endless road expansion. Instead, he calls for congestion pricing, downsizing overbuilt roads, and shifting focus from mobility to accessibility - steps he argues are vital for creating a safer, fairer, and more sustainable transportation future.
