SiriNor's Groundbreaking Electric Jet Engine: No Fossil Fuels, Just Pure Electric Power
28 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"SiriNor's engine represents a breakthrough in non-combustion jet propulsion. Unlike traditional turbines that rely on burning jet fuel, this system uses electricity to power tip-mounted motors around a central fan, effectively driving airflow through the engine."The aircraft likely to adopt these engines first will be in the 9- to 30-seat range - suitable for regional hops of 500 to 900 kilometers."
These Countries Are Electrifying Their Bus Fleets the Fastest
27 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"Buses - including city, coach and school buses - make up approximately 5% of global transport carbon dioxide emissions. Electrifying the bus fleet could also provide a model for electrifying trucks, which make up about a quarter of transport emissions."Five countries - China, the Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland and Denmark - are already setting an example by growing their electric bus sales from less than 6% to more than 60%..."
Administration's Attack On EV Charging Just Suffered A Major Setback
27 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"A US District Court judge in Washington State has ruled that the feds must un-freeze roughly $1 billion in funding...while funds were available for all states, only 16 filed suit...alleged that the funding freeze was illegal... California Attorney General Rob Bonta called [the Administration's] move "unconstitutional"...California looks forward to continuing to vigorously defend itself from this executive branch overreach..."This New Electric Foiling Boat Looks Like An Old-School F1 Car And Handles Like A Motorbike
27 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"A wide grille-style bow and fuselage cockpit are the key F1-styling features and once it is foiling it looks for all the world like F1 throwback on stilts."The advantage of hydrofoils is that they offer much less water resistance, once a craft is going fast enough to create the required lift from the wings under water...
"FoilOne are not alone in heading down the hydrofoil route and the market for eclectic, foiling motor boats is in the on-the-water cost will likely be closer to €120,000"
The Reality Check on E-Bike Resale Values
27 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"According to BikeExchange data from 2024, used e-bikes typically retain 40–70% of their original price, depending on condition, battery life, and brand reputation. My Trek e-bike, which I bought for $2,800, ended up selling for $1,950 after some negotiation.
"That's about 70% of the original price...key factor wasn't just the bike's condition - it was the brand recognition and the fact that the battery still held a strong charge after two years of regular use."

XPeng, now branded as Aridge, has secured 600 regional orders and plans further expansion.
Can 24M's Battery Deliver 1,000 Miles?
14 Oct 2025 | 
24M Technologies claims its SemiSolid battery design could enable 1,000-mile EV range. The architecture promises higher energy density, lower costs, and improved safety, but remains in development. Real-world deployment depends on materials, manufacturing scalability, and market demand. If successful, it could redefine electric mobility.
The Twilight of Strongmen: Who Falls First - Xi, Putin, or Trump?
14 Oct 2025 | 
Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump each face rising strain despite their dominance. Xi’s grip on China remains firm but brittle, dependent on personal control and secrecy. Putin's regime, weakened by war and elite fatigue, is most likely to collapse first. Trump's fate rests with U.S. institutions and elections. Among the three, Putin risks falling first, Trump next, while Xi remains the most insulated - for now.
California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?
13 Oct 2025 | 
California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.
The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels
13 Oct 2025 | 
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
