Maersk McKinney Moller Institute...study rightly concluded that battery-powered ships are not only viable but increasingly competitive...Ships traveling thousands of kilometers across oceans could theoretically reduce onboard battery storage if intermediate charging facilities existed."...ships traveling trans-Pacific routes from China to North America might recharge near the Aleutian Islands...
"Practical and economically attractive solutions exist where ships already routinely pause: maritime choke points.'

"If we eliminate [Danish] business car purchases and just focus on private new car buyers, the percentage of electric cars jumps to nearly 80 percent"...the central purchasing agency for Italy...has begun the process of adding 600 battery electric buses...the largest supermarket chain in Australia, has agreed to lease 60 battery electric delivery trucks from UK-based Zenobe.
"The EV revolution is happening, with or without the United States.

"From Audi's e-tron to the Nissan Leaf, mainstream electric cars now cluster between 87% and 94% range retention after five years, marking a dramatic leap in battery longevity."Today's mainstream packs fade only 1.8% - about a 9% total drop in five years - thanks to liquid cooling, smarter BMS balancing and tougher cell chemistries...At the summit, Audi's e-tron and the Jaguar I-Pace boast midpoints above 92%..."

"...this isn't strictly due to governmental and workforce policies, nor is it due to China effectively plagiarizing Western designs...pound-for-pound, it's likely that China would still be producing more affordable new cars... And the reasons have to do with supply and demand."...China holds such a stranglehold on these crucial resources...These include metals, petroleum-based products, electric circuitry...the Chinese hold significant cost advantages against the United States..."

"The 2026 Leaf's 0.26 drag coefficient is a significant improvement over the 0.29 of the outgoing Leaf achieve what Nissan claims will be up to 303 miles of range with a 75-kilowatt-hour battery pack. That's a 42% range increase with just a 25% increase in battery capacity."...Shaping the Leaf to be both aerodynamically efficient and aesthetically pleasing was as much about what designers didn't do as what they did..."

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.
