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?New EV battery That's Made From Salt Could Last For 3,600,000 Miles
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
CATL's new Naxtra sodium-ion "salt" EV battery costs just $10–$19/kWh - about one-tenth of current lithium-ion prices (~$100–$115/kWh). It retains 85% capacity after 3.6M miles, charges at up to 5C (full in ~12 min), and goes 30–80% in 30 min even at –30 °C with ~93% usable capacity. The low cost, long life, and cold-weather performance could transform EV affordability and durability.Volkswagen's U.K Division Is Locking ID.3 Horsepower Behind a Subscription
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis

US Administration Unfreezes $5 Billion for EV Chargers with Major Changes
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Compelled by federal court ruling, the Trump administration unfroze $5B for EV fast chargers, dropping equity and climate rules. Funds target interstates via the NEVI program, with 80% federal coverage and 20% local match. Gas stations gain easier access, but rural and underserved areas lose priority. Critics warn of charging deserts and slower adoption. States must submit revised plans in 30 days to access funding.

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.
