15 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Dead EV batteries retain nearly 80% of their lithium capacity but most end up in landfills. Australian researchers show recycling could recover 99% pure lithium plus nickel and cobalt while producing 61% less carbon than mining. Recycling uses 83% less energy and 79% less water than extraction. With 13% annual battery market growth, waste could hit 137,000 tons yearly in Australia alone. Untapped goldmine of materials sitting idle.Stuck Off the Grid: How Wyoming's Pioneer Agri-Solar Farm Hit a Transmission Wall
15 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Cowboy Energy's $155M Wyoming agrivoltaics project - combining solar panels with cattle grazing - sits fully permitted but can't connect to grid. Tri-State Transmission offers 2034 start date, 9 years away, despite transmission lines crossing the property. Kafkaesque 45-day annual application windows and 18+ month reviews strangle renewable projects and in Wyoming coal politics can complicate matters.Breakthrough or Mirage? The Real Economics Behind Bill Gates' Hydrogen Superyacht
15 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Bill Gates' hydrogen-powered superyacht Breakthrough offers silent, zero-emission cruising - but at a steep cost. With limited refueling infrastructure and green hydrogen priced at $36/kg, clean sailing runs $59 per nautical mile. HVO diesel remains the practical fallback. While Breakthrough showcases innovation, EVWorld.com asks the hard questions: Is hydrogen truly viable for marine travel, or just a billionaire's experiment?

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.
