Reimagining the Grid for the 21st Century with Virtual Power Plants

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that instead of investing in new utility-scale plants, grid operators should deploy virtual power plants (VPPs) - software-driven networks of rooftop solar, batteries, EVs, and smart devices that act as flexible grid resources. VPPs cost less ($43/kW‑yr) than utility batteries or gas peaker plants, are deployable in months, support grid reliability under heat stress, and offer substantial cost savings and resilience."

How Does Speed Affect EV Range?

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Car & Driver's real‑world testing confirms that electric vehicle range drops sharply as highway speeds rise. Above ~75 mph, EVs fall well short of EPA numbers, with efficiency losses increasing non‑linearly. Data and driver reports show aerodynamic drag dominates power use at speed, offering substantial range gains by slowing down. In many cases, reducing speed by 5–10 mph can boost range by around 10–20 %.

How Ancient Kings & Their False God Screwed Up Cleantech Adoption & Other Climate Efforts Today

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that historical use of divine-right monarchy and violent religion enabled climate inaction - where leaders treated natural disasters as "acts of god," discouraging proactive adaptation or clean-energy investment. This mindset persists today in forms like dominionism, which devalues stewardship and justifies resisting clean technology. Breaking from this theology, the author suggests, is essential for accelerating cleantech adoption and climate resilience."

Evaluating Mexico's EV Market: Underreporting and the Bigger Picture

26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Mexico's official EV sales figures significantly undercount actual adoption. CleanTechnica estimates more than 40,000 BEV units were sold in 2024-far exceeding INEGI's reported ~24,000-because many Chinese-brand dealers operate outside AMDA channels. Electrified vehicle sales surged - 84% in 2024, Q1 - 2025 plug-ins tripled, and nearly 250,000 EVs are projected to be built in Mexico by end - 2025. China's BYD, GAC Aion, Omoda, and Neta are reshaping Mexico City's streets - prompting a comparison that the capital now feels like Shanghai.

Electric Vehicles Are Simply Better. Here's The Proof

26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

The article argues EVs are "an obvious upgrade over combustion machines - quieter, cleaner, more efficient and easier to maintain." The author contends that EV proponents have mistakenly framed the debate as a moral issue rather than highlighting these practical advantages. The piece presents EVs as superior technology based on performance and maintenance benefits rather than environmental arguments.
