Ozarks Shootout 2025: Speed, Safety, and the Rise Recreational Electric Marine Propulsion
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The 2025 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout drew over 100,000 spectators and crowned Darana Hybrid's 242 mph turbine catamaran as Top Gun. While electric boats weren't in the top tier, Vision Marine's 180 hp motor remains the fastest electric entry on record. Public concerns about shock risk are unfounded—marine-rated systems use GFCIs, ELCIs, and sealed connectors to ensure safe charging and operation. Electric propulsion is gaining ground, but infrastructure and perception still lag.Mercedes-Benz eCitaro: The Electric Bus Redefining European Public Transit
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The Mercedes-Benz eCitaro is a leading European electric bus, evolving from a battery-only model to include a hydrogen fuel cell range extender. This dual strategy allows for strategic deployment: battery models for short city routes and fuel cell versions for long, demanding ones. This flexibility is key to its success in helping cities transition to zero-emission public transport.Renault Races Past Hydrogen with All-Electric Alpine Flagship
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Renault signals a bold pivot beyond hydrogen with Alpine's 470 hp electric 390 GTS. High hydrogen costs, poor infrastructure, and energy inefficiency drive the move toward scalable EVs. Unveiled by Renault and Alpine, the GTS blends luxury, performance, and national pride - boasting 345-mile range, premium design, and an "overtake" boost. It's a clear statement: France sees electrification as the future of high-performance mobility.Rivian CEO Says It 'Blows My Mind' That The US Auto Industry Is Reprioritizing Capital Toward Gas-Powered Vehicles
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe criticized continued U.S. investment in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, calling it a strategic mistake. He argued that pouring billions into gas-powered platforms delays progress and risks falling behind global EV leaders. Scaringe emphasized that electrification is inevitable and that legacy automakers must pivot faster to remain competitive in a rapidly shifting market.Electric Aviation's Summer Surge: Startups, Certification, and the Race to Redefine Flight
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Electric aviation is accelerating as startups like Joby, Archer, Ampaire, and ZeroAvia push toward FAA certification and commercial launch. New FAA rules streamline approval for powered-lift aircraft, while propulsion strategies—battery, hybrid, and hydrogen—diversify range and infrastructure needs. Despite regulatory hurdles, investor confidence and airline partnerships signal that 2025 may be the breakout year for sustainable flight.

Tesla's Swedish Standoff: When Silicon Valley Meets Union Solidarity
29 Oct 2025 | 
Tesla faces a prolonged labor strike in Sweden over its refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement. What began with 70 mechanics has grown into a nationwide solidarity movement, challenging Tesla's anti-union stance. The dispute highlights a clash between Silicon Valley individualism and Nordic labor consensus, raising global questions about the future of work, electrification, and corporate accountability.
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.
