[EU's] "Energy Performance of Buildings Directive...sets targets to install EV chargers in buildings with more than 3 parking spaces. But the rules for existing residential buildings, and especially apartment buildings, are too vague and lack concrete targetsT&E urges "implement a clear and simple right to plug into national law, for both owners and tenants...Ensure that all new and renovated apartment buildings are fully cabled for EV charging.."

It is also the world's first electric aircraft to be certified under the part 23 airworthiness regulations for normal category aircraft...The RX4E made its maiden flight in 2019. Since then, the project has accumulated more than 1,200 flight hours and 1,800 take-offs and landings in three aircraft."The company says it has an agreement with the developers to commercialise the plane in 15 countries, including for manufacturing operations."

"The Ohio companies' focus on fuel cell passenger vehicles is unique nationwide, especially for a state that doesn't yet have any public hydrogen fueling stations...[Engineering firm DLZ] station in Columbus can generate about 20 kilograms of hydrogen per day, using electricity from a solar array atop a large building on company property...Whether hydrogen-powered passenger vehicles are the best use for renewable energy remains questionable."07 Jan 2025 | Synopsis
"From cutting-edge electric hydrofoils to elegant speedboats, here are some of the newest innovations to take to the waves""2025 looks set to be the year of the electric boat. There's now a small fleet of innovative new watercraft available, from speedboats to ferries and electric hydrofoils, scaled up in size and intent thanks to leaps and bounds in new battery technology..."

Aptera is driving into CES 2025 for the first public showing of its production-intent solar electric vehicle... a completed three-wheeler has made its way to the Las Vegas Convention Center for its public debut this week, after a short detour to Italy."...the vehicle that's heading for production will have a 700 watts of integrated solar cells on its upper surfaces – which is reckoned good for up to 40 miles (64 km) of range without needing to plug in thanks to the vehicle's slippery body design and lightweight construction."

At the Detroit Economic Club, the White House signaled a shift on Chinese EVs, saying they may enter the U.S. market only if they build vehicles in America. The stance reframes Chinese competition as a jobs-first opportunity, tying access to domestic factories and workers. It acknowledges China's EV strength while asserting U.S. control over the terms of entry and the future shape of the auto industry.

Analysis finds the Ynet op-ed sharp and partly right about Europe's structural challenges, but overly reliant on selective framing and cultural stereotypes. It praises the piece's clear narrative and investor relevance while criticizing its tendency to overstate regulation’s role and ignore Europe's strengths. The op-ed is persuasive, but better read as a strategic argument than a balanced economic diagnosis.

The Daily Signal claims the "climate panic machine" has collapsed, but the evidence says otherwise. Climate science remains robust, public concern is steady, and EV sales continue to grow globally. Policy adjustments in Europe and Canada are refinements, not retreats. The narrative of collapse depends on anecdotes, not data. The transition is moving forward whether the U.S. chooses to lead or not.

Astro Mechanica's hybrid-electric jet engine still burns fuel. It uses a turbine-driven generator to power electric motors that control compressor stages, enabling smoother transitions between turbofan, turbojet, and ramjet modes. There are no batteries. The electric assist improves efficiency and adaptability, but combustion remains the core energy source. It’s not an electric jet - it's a fuel-burning engine with electric augmentation.

The U.S. has sold Venezuelan state-owned oil and placed the proceeds in U.S.-controlled accounts, including one in Qatar. Officials call the move legal and humanitarian, but the arrangement lacks transparency, bypasses Venezuelan citizens, and concentrates control in the executive branch. This unprecedented action raises serious questions about sovereignty, oversight, and democratic accountability.
