14 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
ComEd launched testing for its first vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging pilot with three Illinois school districts. The initiative uses bidirectional chargers on electric school buses to explore energy optimization, grid support, and cost savings during peak demand. Part of ComEd's Beneficial Electrification Plan, the pilot aims to scale V2G tech and includes partners like Nuvve and Resource Innovations.The Illusion of Clean: How Big Oil Perfected the Art of Greenwashing
13 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Big Oil's decades-long greenwashing campaign used PR to mask environmental harm. Chevron's "People Do" ads, Exxon's climate denial lobbying, and BP's carbon footprint push shifted blame to consumers. Investors like BlackRock and execs like Rex Tillerson profited, while conservative politicians traded support for donations. Lawsuits from cities and youth groups now challenge fossil fuel deception, aiming to hold companies accountable in court.This Giant Black Box is the EV Charger of the Future
13 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A massive black box spotted in California is the Smart Charging Cube, a mobile EV fast charger built by AW Automotive and MAN Truck & Bus. Designed for electric big rigs, it delivers up to 400 kW from its onboard battery and up to 1,000 kW when connected to a Megawatt Charging System. It’s built for job sites and fleet use, offering high-speed charging without permanent grid infrastructure.WeRide Enters Belgium as Autonomous Robobus Rolls Into Leuven

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.
