Fact Check: Renewables Not to Blame for Texas Power Price Spike
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Fact Check: Against WSJ's claim, renewables did not drive the rise in Texas electricity bills. Expert analysis shows that inflation, natural gas price surges, grid upgrade costs, and post‑freeze recovery efforts are the true drivers of higher rates. Meanwhile, clean energy continues to offer long‑term affordability. Experts warn that scaling back solar and wind could raise, not reduce, future energy costs.Are These Charging Cubes the Answer?
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
MAN Truck & Bus has launched the Smart Charging Cube - a modular battery energy storage system ranging from 500 to 1,100 kWh, with up to four fast-charge ports per unit (400 kW), extendable to 1 MW via external charging, ideal for electric truck depots, construction sites, or grid-limited areas. It supports solar input, peak shaving, bidirectional power flow, and enables rapid deployment without major infrastructureWho Really Pays for the Trump-Japan Tariff Deal? American EV Buyers Might
24 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
American consumers - especially EV buyers - are the real payers in Trump's U.S.-Japan tariff deal, warns economist Steve Rattner. Tariffs on Japanese autos don't hurt Japan; they're passed through higher prices at U.S. dealerships. Even American-made EVs using Japanese parts may see cost increases. Though the deal includes Japanese investments, there's no guarantee of job gains. Increased EV prices could slow clean-tech adoption, underscoring the hidden costs of trade policy.Dust Off : The Unexpected Side Effect Of Having More And More EVs On The Road
24 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Electric vehicles reduce not only exhaust emissions but also brake dust - a major urban pollutant. A recent EIT Urban Mobility study in London, Milan, and Barcelona found EVs cut brake-dust pollution by 83% due to regenerative braking, significantly improving air quality. While heavier EVs slightly increase tire wear, non-exhaust emissions (brake, tire, road dust) still drop by ~38% overall. Better health, cleaner cities - a win for electrification.White House Is Trying To Prop Up Coal, Oil, And Gas - But The Economics Of Fossil Fuel Are Failing
24 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Since launching his second presidential term, Donald Trump has taken aggressive steps to re-energize the U.S. fossil fuel sector—reviving coal plants, approving pipelines, expanding mining leases, and slashing renewable energy incentives. Yet a recent report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) confirms that renewables remain dramatically cheaper and more efficient than coal, oil, or gas-challenging the economic logic behind the fossil-fuel revival."

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.
Rivian's Infotainment Revolution: AI at the Wheel, No Smartphone Required
11 Oct 2025 | 
Rivian's infotainment system replaces CarPlay with a native AI-powered interface backed by Amazon and Volkswagen. It offers smart navigation, voice control, music/video streaming, and cloud-based personalization. AM radio is excluded, prompting bipartisan legislation to mandate its return. Autonomous driving integration is planned, with updates rolling out in 2025 and full features expected in the R2 by 2026.
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.
