We Could Get Most Metals For Clean Energy Without Opening New Mines
21 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Recycling existing materials - such as mine waste, used electronics, and batteries - can supply most of the metals needed for clean-energy technologies, potentially avoiding new mining operations and reducing environmental and social impacts. Leveraging innovations in circular economy strategies and policy shifts toward reuse offers a sustainable alternative to traditional mining.Africa: The Green Transition's Surprising New Home
21 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Africa emerges as unexpected renewable energy leader, "leapfrogging" fossil fuels with 60% of world's best solar resources. Kenya targets 100% renewables by 2030, Ethiopia builds largest hydro project. Chinese clean tech exports up 153%. By 2030, renewables will account for 80%+ of new capacity. Economic necessity drives energy independence through domestic clean sources.Cybertruck Insurance Dilemma: Tesla's Challenge Ahead
21 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Tesla's Cybertruck faces an insurance crisis as major providers like GEICO and Hanover rescind coverage due to high repair costs, limited production data, and underwriting challenges. Owners report cancellations and steep premiums, while Tesla's own insurance offers partial relief in select states. The issue threatens future sales and highlights the gap between bold design and real-world support, leaving buyers uncertain and Tesla under pressure to respond.The Lithium Wars: EnergyX, Tesla, and the Race to Reinvent Battery Supply
20 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
EnergyX and Tesla are racing to reshape lithium supply chains. Energyx's modular LiTAS™'s system extracts lithium from brine with high efficiency, while Tesla builds a $1B acid-free refinery in Texas. Smackover, AR is EnergyX's likely launch site, offering infrastructure and proximity to EV markets. Meanwhile, sodium-ion batteries emerge as a low-cost alternative, potentially disrupting lithium demand but not replacing it. The future of batteries is diversified, fast, and fiercely competitive.China's 600 Wh/kg Lithium-Metal Battery Breakthrough: Hype or Real Progress?
19 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Chinese researchers report lithium-metal pouch cells reaching 600 Wh/kg - nearly double today's EV batteries. Published in Nature, the work uses a novel electrolyte and shows promising density but only ~100 cycles, far short of EV needs. Scaling, safety, and cost remain unproven. While credible science, it's early-stage. Current leaders like CATL, BYD, Amprius, and SES offer lower but durable densities; no one is yet close to 600 Wh/kg for real EVs.

The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels
13 Oct 2025 | 
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
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.
