Reimagining the Grid for the 21st Century with Virtual Power Plants

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that instead of investing in new utility-scale plants, grid operators should deploy virtual power plants (VPPs) - software-driven networks of rooftop solar, batteries, EVs, and smart devices that act as flexible grid resources. VPPs cost less ($43/kW‑yr) than utility batteries or gas peaker plants, are deployable in months, support grid reliability under heat stress, and offer substantial cost savings and resilience."

How Does Speed Affect EV Range?

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Car & Driver's real‑world testing confirms that electric vehicle range drops sharply as highway speeds rise. Above ~75 mph, EVs fall well short of EPA numbers, with efficiency losses increasing non‑linearly. Data and driver reports show aerodynamic drag dominates power use at speed, offering substantial range gains by slowing down. In many cases, reducing speed by 5–10 mph can boost range by around 10–20 %.

How Ancient Kings & Their False God Screwed Up Cleantech Adoption & Other Climate Efforts Today

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that historical use of divine-right monarchy and violent religion enabled climate inaction - where leaders treated natural disasters as "acts of god," discouraging proactive adaptation or clean-energy investment. This mindset persists today in forms like dominionism, which devalues stewardship and justifies resisting clean technology. Breaking from this theology, the author suggests, is essential for accelerating cleantech adoption and climate resilience."

Evaluating Mexico's EV Market: Underreporting and the Bigger Picture

26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Mexico's official EV sales figures significantly undercount actual adoption. CleanTechnica estimates more than 40,000 BEV units were sold in 2024-far exceeding INEGI's reported ~24,000-because many Chinese-brand dealers operate outside AMDA channels. Electrified vehicle sales surged - 84% in 2024, Q1 - 2025 plug-ins tripled, and nearly 250,000 EVs are projected to be built in Mexico by end - 2025. China's BYD, GAC Aion, Omoda, and Neta are reshaping Mexico City's streets - prompting a comparison that the capital now feels like Shanghai.

Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse

17 Oct 2025 | Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.

Sticker Shock and Stagnant Pay: Why New Cars Are Slipping Out of Reach

17 Oct 2025 | New car prices have outpaced wage growth, making ownership increasingly unaffordable. Even Ford's $30K EV pickup and other sub-$30K models may remain out of reach for many without incentives or financing reform. With monthly payments rising and federal credits phasing out, the affordability gap is reshaping the auto market. Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.

Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind

16 Oct 2025 | Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
