Explained: Getting Electric Airplanes Off the Ground
27 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
When building an electric airplane, the primary challenge is energy density. This is the amount of energy the battery contains per kilogram...AV Gas are exceptionally energy-dense at around 43MJ/kg or 12kWh/kg. By comparison, the best battery technologies today are around 0.3kWh/kg, meaning they are 40 time heavier...One business case that meets these tight constraints is flight schools. Federal EV Tax Credit At Risk - How Much Does It Really Drive Sales?
23 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"Some of the best-selling EVs on the market today - like the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Hyundai IONIQ 5 - are ineligible for the federal tax credit..."Across all of the electric vehicles sold in the United States, credit-eligible models sold at about 1.4 times the rate of ineligible vehicles...The difference between the two groups is likely even larger than the 1.4 times figure we found...ven before the discount from the federal EV credit, credit-eligible cars are nearly $9,000 less than their ineligible counterparts..."
US Army Taps Raytheon To Replace Fuel Lines With Beamed Power
23 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"The average US soldier today carries up to 140 lb (64 kg) of gear on their back – and a lot of this is in the form of batteries to run their equipment..."Raytheon's Advanced Technology team...[aims to beam] high-energy coherent microwaves that are transmitted from a secure generator to forward positions where it's converted back into electricity...series of demonstrations, with one in 1975 transmitting 475 W of microwave power across distance of a mile (1.6 km) and then converted to DC electricity with an efficiency of 54%."
NIST Trains AI To Hear The 'Oh Crap' Moment Before Batteries Explode
23 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"The nature of lithium-ion battery fires is that by the time smoke triggers a traditional smoke alarm, the fire might be well under way...One hint that things might be about to go awry is when the safety valve breaks in a hard battery case to release the pressure caused by a chemical reaction within the unit...Overheating batteries were subsequently detected 94 percent of the time...the safety valve gave two minutes' notice in testing..."Northvolt CEO Resigns As Europe's Big Hope For A Battery Champion Files For Bankruptcy
23 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"Northvolt said it would continue functioning as normal during the restructuring process, which is expected to finalize in the first quarter of next year...the reorganization of the company would help it access approximately $245 million in new financing, totaling around $145 million in cash and $100 million debtor-in-possession financing...Northvolt Ett, the company’s flagship battery gigafactory...in north Sweden...will remain operational."

The Quiet Battery Revolution That Is About to Rewrite the EV Story
10 Jan 2026 | 
Solid-state batteries are finally moving from lab to road, led by Verge's TS Pro motorcycle using a Donut solid-state pack and early semi-solid EVs in China. These technologies promise higher energy density, faster charging, and improved safety compared to today’s lithium-ion cells, but at much higher cost. As production scales and prices fall toward parity in the early 2030s, solid-state chemistry is poised to reshape EV range, economics, and mainstream acceptance.
Progress Amid Fragmentation: Why the Energy Transition Is Moving Faster Than the Politics Around It
08 Jan 2026 | 
The global energy transition is no longer driven by climate diplomacy but by industrial rivalry and market forces. Despite geopolitical fragmentation, clean energy deployment - from solar and wind to batteries and EVs - is accelerating. Competition among the US, EU, and China, not consensus, is driving progress, even as grids, permitting, and fossil fuel dependence remain stubborn obstacles through 2030.
Why Clean Energy Capital Keeps Winning
07 Jan 2026 | 
Clean-energy stocks and green bonds are attracting global capital not out of ideology, but because they offer better growth, lower risk, and strong policy support. Fossil fuels face structural decline as demand flattens and cost curves diverge. Investors are reallocating toward electrification, renewables, and grid infrastructure, making clean energy the new baseline for long-term returns. Markets are pricing the transition, not debating it.
The Latin American Trap We Pretend Not to See
06 Jan 2026 | 
For a century, the U.S. has repeated the same interventionist reflex in Latin America, shaped by the Dulles brothers, the Harriman network, and the corporate-driven logic exposed in War Is a Racket. Venezuela is the latest stage, even as China quietly outmaneuvers Washington through investment, infrastructure, and energy ties that challenge the petrodollar and reshape regional power.
The Thirst Of A Nation: Tehran's Water Crisis
05 Jan 2026 | 
Tehran faces a deepening water crisis driven by climate change, aquifer depletion, and aging infrastructure. Iran’s proposed Caspian desalination plan is risky and contested, and any future government will inherit the same hydrological limits. The crisis exposes how water, more than politics, now shapes the nation's stability and its path forward.
