Transport for Humans by Rory Sutherland and Pete Dyson argues that transportation should prioritize human psychology over speed and efficiency. The book explores how perceived time, emotional comfort, and intuitive design shape travel satisfaction more than engineering metrics. With insights from behavioral science, it urges planners to "travel smarter, not faster" by designing systems that feel better, not just move quicker.29 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Researchers dismantled Tesla and BYD EV batteries and found notable differences. Tesla's battery showed high energy density and modular design, while BYD's blade battery offered superior thermal stability and safety features. The study highlights trade-offs between performance and safety, suggesting that future EV battery innovation will depend on balancing energy output with durability and fire resistance.28 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Chinese EV maker NIO has surpassed 90 million battery swaps, just 100 days after hitting 80 million. With over 100,000 swaps daily and 4.75 billion kWh dispensed, its network now powers the equivalent of 2.37 million households annually. NIO expects to reach 100 million swaps by January 2026. The company also delivered a record 87,071 vehicles in Q3 2025, with cumulative deliveries nearing 873,000.28 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Greenhouse Gases article accurately debunks the myth that CO2's heat-trapping ability is saturated. Greenhouse gases continue to warm the planet because radiation escapes from higher, colder layers as concentrations rise. This reduces energy loss to space and increases surface warming. Satellite and surface data confirm ongoing radiative forcing, and climate models show a logarithmic relationship - each CO? doubling adds similar warming. The science is solid and widely accepted.27 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Born from Rivian's innovation lab, ALSO's TMQ is a quad-like electric cargo hauler designed for fleet use. It features modular storage, autonomous capabilities, and rugged off-road design. Targeting last-mile logistics and utility fleets, the TMQ blends Rivian's adventure DNA with futuristic tech. Its compact form and smart systems aim to redefine urban and remote delivery, offering a glimpse into scalable, electrified fleet mobility.

Jonathon Kolak, the only federal scientist tracking abandoned oil and gas wells in U.S. national parks, was abruptly fired in 2023. His work exposed methane leaks and legacy pollution across public lands. No replacement was named. Critics say his dismissal signals a retreat from environmental accountability and transparency, just as the U.S. faces mounting climate and cleanup challenges.

China's Thorium Molten Salt Reactor achieved the world's first thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, proving thorium can generate uranium-233 for future reactors. The experimental setup doesn't produce electricity but validates fuel viability. China aims to build a 100 MW demonstration reactor by 2035. This breakthrough supports safer, scalable nuclear energy and positions China as a leader in fourth-generation reactor technology.

The EMEA Automotive Carbon Neutral Summit 2025 will confront the gap between ambition and execution. Automakers must scale low‑carbon technologies, decarbonize sprawling supply chains, and secure renewable energy for factories and charging networks. Executives will push for clear policy, carbon pricing, and stable investment signals. Circular economy practices and global competition add urgency. The challenge: make carbon neutrality practical, profitable, and fast enough to meet climate goals.

Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.

Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.
