China has transformed from rural poverty to high-tech megacities in 35 years, leading the global clean energy shift with massive EV and solar output. Yet its authoritarian model - marked by surveillance and censorship - raises concerns as it enters the AI age. The West must cooperate on climate tech but compete to ensure AI develops under democratic norms, not autocratic control.
WattEV’s San Bernardino, CA charging depot reached a new record: ~700,000 kWh/month delivered, enough for 34,000 miles/day of EV trucking. They currently have 12 dual-cord 360 kW chargers (supporting 24 trucks) and plan to add 36 more cords (including 6 MCS 1.2 MW chargers) to meet rising demand.

Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
