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.Volkswagen's U.K Division Is Locking ID.3 Horsepower Behind a Subscription
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
British-market buyers can now opt to pay a monthly fee for that horsepower increase..details in fine print, where a disclaimer notes that "Engine power is [148 hp] as standard, [168 hp] if you activate the optional power upgrade for a fee.""...the fee is equivalent to $22.50 per month, $225 for a year, or a one-time purchase of $878...the one-time purchase is priced the same as 39 months of monthly subscription..."
US Administration Unfreezes $5 Billion for EV Chargers with Major Changes
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Compelled by federal court ruling, the Trump administration unfroze $5B for EV fast chargers, dropping equity and climate rules. Funds target interstates via the NEVI program, with 80% federal coverage and 20% local match. Gas stations gain easier access, but rural and underserved areas lose priority. Critics warn of charging deserts and slower adoption. States must submit revised plans in 30 days to access funding.

California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?
13 Oct 2025 | 
California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.
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.
