21 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Norway's ferry operator Norled lost €85M after investing in hydrogen ferries like MF Hydra, which cost more to build and operate than battery-electric or diesel alternatives. Hydrogen fuel is expensive, inefficient, and emits more CO2 than expected - double that of diesel and 40x more than electric. Battery ferries like MF Nesvik prove cheaper, cleaner, and more practical. Critics say Norled's hydrogen gamble cost jobs and failed to deliver strategic value.Archer Beats Out Joby for Lilium eVTOL Patents

Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
