Fuel Cells in Cars Without a Future? - An Analysis
01 May 2025 | Synopsis
"It is something like the eternal undead among alternative drive systems...The lack of success is not due to the technology itself...registration figures for fuel cell vehicles are continuing to fall: while 900 cars with hydrogen technology were sold in 2022, the figure was only 260 in 2023 and just 150 last year...4,000 new fuel cell trucks are registered in China every year... But in the same period, 75,000 battery-electric trucks are put on the road..."Isuzu's First Electric Pickup Is Here And It's A Beast: Meet The New D-MAX EV
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"The electric pickup is nearly identical to Isuzu’s popular gas-powered D-MAX, but swaps the diesel powertrain for a pair of electric motors...""The dual-motor powertrain enables it to match the performance of existing diesel models, with a combined 188 hp (140 kW) and a maximum torque of 240 lb-ft...Powered by a 66.9 kWh battery, Isuzu's first electric pickup boasts a driving range of up to 263 km (162 miles) on the WLTP."
Fusion Reactor Called "Norm" Could Outperform Everything We've Built So Far
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"TAE Technologies claims its setup produces 100 times the power of other designs at half the cost, but the road to commercial fusion is littered with hype."... field-reversed configuration (FRC)—a setup that holds piping hot plasma in place without relying on the gigantic magnets seen in traditional fusion designs like tokamaks...Norm reduces the machine’s size, complexity, and cost by up to 50%..."
This New Range Extender Proves Gas Engines Are Far From Dead
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"The 'range extender' bit is a gas-powered engine, usually small and compact, mounted in the car to recharge the battery if there aren't any charging stations nearby."Range extenders are a better choice versus traditional plug-in hybrids, ZF argues, because they're cheaper to produce, require shorter development cycles, and use simpler supply chains...ZF's new range extender can be had in two flavors: eRE and eRE+."
UK Researchers Make Breakthrough On Revolutionary Fuel That Could Transform Wide Range Of Industries
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"UK-based energy-tech company [Interesting Engineering] created a portable hydrogen generation module capable of producing up to 1,100 pounds of hydrogen daily [from ammonia]...Hy-5 can produce hydrogen with greater than 99.9% purity...a scalable and cost-effective way to produce hydrogen...Examples include manufacturing steel and cement glass, chemical production, hydrogen logistics, and off-grid EV charging with hydrogen fuel cell generators."

Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
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.
