Sinn Power has launched its first floating photovoltaic (FPV) installation in Germany using vertical photovoltaic modules arranged east-west with open water corridors. Located at the Jais gravel plant in Starnberg, it delivers 1.87 MW while covering just 4.65% of the lake surface - well under the legal 15%. The SKipp technology features a keel-like substructure for stability, with minimal surface shading and harm to the aquatic habitat.13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite ailing US President's rollback of the nation's climate policies and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, global climate action persists. Emissions may have peaked due to rising renewable investment. Nations like China are stepping up, and no country has followed the U.S. in leaving the Paris deal. Subnational actors like California remain engaged. COP30 may still drive progress, even without U.S. leadership.13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
As U.S. EV incentives phase out, automakers face a tougher market. Tesla leads with 43.1% EV share, but GM gains ground with 13.8%, thanks to a broad lineup and low incentives. Ford lags at 6.6%, struggling despite heavy investment. The industry braces for slower growth, signaling a shift from government support to market-driven competition. Survival now depends on scale, innovation, and execution.13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis

Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump each face rising strain despite their dominance. Xi’s grip on China remains firm but brittle, dependent on personal control and secrecy. Putin's regime, weakened by war and elite fatigue, is most likely to collapse first. Trump's fate rests with U.S. institutions and elections. Among the three, Putin risks falling first, Trump next, while Xi remains the most insulated - for now.

California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
