Clear Skies Ahead - Delta Partners With Maeve On M80 Hybrid Regional Aircraft
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Delta Air Lines Delta is partnering with Maeve to develop the M80, a hybrid-electric regional aircraft aiming for 40% fuel savings. It uses electric motors to spin exterior fan blades, powered by batteries recharged via onboard turbine engines that also provide thrust. This setup reduces emissions on short-haul routes. Maeve targets a 2031 launch, with Delta's support signaling growing airline interest in sustainable aviation.Sinn Power Inaugurates Its First Floating Photovoltaic System With Vertical Modules
14 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Sinn Power has launched its first floating photovoltaic (FPV) installation in Germany using vertical photovoltaic modules arranged east-west with open water corridors. Located at the Jais gravel plant in Starnberg, it delivers 1.87 MW while covering just 4.65% of the lake surface - well under the legal 15%. The SKipp technology features a keel-like substructure for stability, with minimal surface shading and harm to the aquatic habitat.Why US About-Face Is Not A Death Knell For Global Climate Action
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite ailing US President's rollback of the nation's climate policies and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, global climate action persists. Emissions may have peaked due to rising renewable investment. Nations like China are stepping up, and no country has followed the U.S. in leaving the Paris deal. Subnational actors like California remain engaged. COP30 may still drive progress, even without U.S. leadership.For the US EV Market, The Training Wheels Are Off. Tesla Will Survive. Who Else Will?
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
As U.S. EV incentives phase out, automakers face a tougher market. Tesla leads with 43.1% EV share, but GM gains ground with 13.8%, thanks to a broad lineup and low incentives. Ford lags at 6.6%, struggling despite heavy investment. The industry braces for slower growth, signaling a shift from government support to market-driven competition. Survival now depends on scale, innovation, and execution.Nio Firefly Launches New 'Night Creature' Special Edition EV Model

AI's Power Problem: The Hidden Grid Strain Behind the Digital Boom
05 Nov 2025 | 
A New York Times op-ed warns that AI and data centers are driving up electricity demand, straining grids, and raising power bills. Tech firms often obscure their energy use while consumers bear infrastructure costs. The piece calls for mandatory energy disclosures, better regulation, and more efficient AI systems. It challenges the myth of "clean tech" and urges climate policy to address digital infrastructure’s growing carbon footprint.
Sportivetta Zero1: ItalSpeedForm's Microcar for the Post-Diesel City

False Binaries and Fossil Frames: Why the Real Climate Challenge Isn't Just Upstream
04 Nov 2025 | 
The Eurasia Review op-ed argues that decarbonizing fuels and electricity - not regulating consumer products - is the real climate priority. But this framing creates a false binary. Demand-side policies like EV mandates and efficiency standards drive upstream change. Ignoring them weakens climate strategy. Effective solutions require systems thinking, not either-or arguments. Climate action must target both supply and demand to succeed.
Tailpipe Truthers and the Post-EV Gambit: Mazda's Contrarian Climate Play
04 Nov 2025 |
Mazda challenges EV orthodoxy by arguing that tailpipe emissions alone don't tell the full climate story. At the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, it promoted a lifecycle emissions approach, favoring plug-in hybrids, synthetic fuels, and fuel-flexible drivetrains over full electrification. Critics see this as stalling, but Mazda frames it as a long-term bet on energy diversity and grid realism. Whether it’s visionary or outdated depends on how the world decarbonizes.
Trail Theater: Toyota's Scion 01 Concept Reviewed
04 Nov 2025 | 
Toyota's Scion 01 Concept is a hybrid off-road side-by-side with bold styling and a Tacoma-derived powertrain. It features "Silent Mode" for short-range electric-only driving but lacks plug-in capability or new battery tech. Despite its aggressive design and nostalgic branding, it offers no real innovation - just a repackaged hybrid system in a concept shell. It's more marketing theater than a meaningful step forward in electric mobility.
