15 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Dead EV batteries retain nearly 80% of their lithium capacity but most end up in landfills. Australian researchers show recycling could recover 99% pure lithium plus nickel and cobalt while producing 61% less carbon than mining. Recycling uses 83% less energy and 79% less water than extraction. With 13% annual battery market growth, waste could hit 137,000 tons yearly in Australia alone. Untapped goldmine of materials sitting idle.Stuck Off the Grid: How Wyoming's Pioneer Agri-Solar Farm Hit a Transmission Wall
15 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Cowboy Energy's $155M Wyoming agrivoltaics project - combining solar panels with cattle grazing - sits fully permitted but can't connect to grid. Tri-State Transmission offers 2034 start date, 9 years away, despite transmission lines crossing the property. Kafkaesque 45-day annual application windows and 18+ month reviews strangle renewable projects and in Wyoming coal politics can complicate matters.Breakthrough or Mirage? The Real Economics Behind Bill Gates' Hydrogen Superyacht
15 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Bill Gates' hydrogen-powered superyacht Breakthrough offers silent, zero-emission cruising - but at a steep cost. With limited refueling infrastructure and green hydrogen priced at $36/kg, clean sailing runs $59 per nautical mile. HVO diesel remains the practical fallback. While Breakthrough showcases innovation, EVWorld.com asks the hard questions: Is hydrogen truly viable for marine travel, or just a billionaire's experiment?New EV battery That's Made From Salt Could Last For 3,600,000 Miles
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
CATL's new Naxtra sodium-ion "salt" EV battery costs just $10–$19/kWh - about one-tenth of current lithium-ion prices (~$100–$115/kWh). It retains 85% capacity after 3.6M miles, charges at up to 5C (full in ~12 min), and goes 30–80% in 30 min even at –30 °C with ~93% usable capacity. The low cost, long life, and cold-weather performance could transform EV affordability and durability.

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.
