Fossil Fuels and Fossilized Minds
30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Republican Party's zealous defense of fossil fuels (like coal) and opposition to clean energy are deeply irrational and driven by "fossilized stupidity" and political tribalism, not economic sense or scientific reality. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman asserts that this stance ignores the rapid technological progress making renewables competitive and the urgent need to address climate change, effectively embracing a "death wish" for the planet to appease special interests.Did Scientists Just Figure Out Why People Die A DECADE Earlier in the Southeast US?
30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study, entitled "Mortality caused by tropical cyclones in the United States" and published in Nature, reveals that excess deaths in the Southeastern U.S. are linked not to disasters themselves, but to long-term economic and health impacts from repeated exposure to climate shocks. New research shows these "invisible deaths" stem from systemic vulnerability, poor infrastructure, and underinvestment in recovery, to date taking more lives than all America's wars combined.Jeep's Recon Moab EV Is Finally Shedding Its Camouflage
30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Jeep's Recon Moab EV emerges as an electric Rubicon successor with removable doors and serious off-road capability, priced at $60k-$80k and range up 300 miles. But Stellantis is pulling back on EV launches due to weak demand and expiring tax credits. Meanwhile, Rivian's R2 arrives in 2026 at $45k, offering adventure capability with better value. The Recon's fate depends less on its trail prowess and more on whether Jeep commits to production in an uncertain market.Net Zero, Information Warfare, and the Economic Realities Behind the Rhetoric
30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A critique of The Critic's claim that net zero weakens the West, arguing it overlooks the economic fragility of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. While information warfare is real, these regimes face internal crises that limit their strategic reach. Western climate policy, though imperfect, is grounded in sound science and democratic debate. Net zero is not weakness - it's a test of resilience, coherence, and long-term leadership.Ghostworks Marine: The Maverick Shipbuilders Reinventing Electric Vessels for a Zero-Emission Future
27 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Ghostworks Marine, a Michigan-based shipbuilder, is pioneering zero-emission vessels like the M40, ECTO-10, and Minerva. With roots in high-performance racing and military design, the company blends advanced composites and electric propulsion. Their CARB certification enables California agencies to access incentives for clean marine tech, positioning Ghostworks as a leader in sustainable waterborne mobility across defense, cargo, and urban transit sectors.

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.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
12 Oct 2025 | 
The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
