How The EV Pullback Is Affecting Factories And Jobs In The South
01 Feb 2026 | Synopsis
Automakers including GM, Ford, Hyundai/Kia, Toyota, and multiple battery partners are scaling back EV plans, delaying factories, or taking write‑downs as EV demand softens. The pullback hits Southern states that attracted most investments - especially Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, and parts of Alabama - leaving billions in projects and thousands of expected jobs in question. We Rode In Dozens Of Driverless Robotaxis In China
31 Jan 2026 | Synopsis
China's robotaxis - run by Baidu, Pony.ai, and WeRide - operate extensively in cities like Beijing, Wuhan, and Guangzhou, often with no safety driver. Rides are smooth and reliable, but pickups can be quirky and wait times vary. Foreigners face challenges: Chinese‑language apps, real‑name verification, and WeChat/Alipay payments. Overall, China is the easiest place today to experience fully driverless transport.Electrifying Light Vehicles In The United States Shows Emission Reduction Potential For All Vehicle Types And Powertrains
31 Jan 2026 | Synopsis
BEVs have the lowest life‑cycle carbon footprint of all 2023 U.S. light‑duty vehicles, across every size and segment. Even under cold climates, fossil‑heavy grids, shorter lifetimes, or battery replacements, BEVs still emit ~30% less than ICE vehicles. Fully electrifying 2023 sales would cut fleet emissions 59% (820 Tg CO₂e), with the biggest gains from electrifying large SUVs and trucks.Active Managed EV Charging Can Double EV Hosting Capacity
31 Jan 2026 | Synopsis
Active managed EV charging uses real‑time control to stagger charging, cut peak load by ~50%, and shift up to 95% of charging to off‑peak hours. The approach can double or even triple a grid’s EV hosting capacity, delaying distribution upgrades by up to 10 years and reducing system costs by as much as $400 per EV annually while still ensuring drivers meet their charge needs.Here's Why You Still Can't Get An Electric Car With A Solid-State Battery
30 Jan 2026 | Synopsis
Solid-state batteries promise huge gains in safety, charging speed, and energy density, but SlashGear reports they are still not in EVs because manufacturing remains extremely difficult, expensive, and hard to scale. Automakers struggle with dendrite formation, material stability, and mass-production yields. A few niche products like Verge's Donut Lab motorcycle battery exist, but full-size EV packs are still years away.

Reinventing the Windmill: Two Radical Ideas Aiming to Break Wind Power's Biggest Bottlenecks
13 Feb 2026 | 
Two companies aim to reinvent wind power. Airloom Energy uses a low, oval ground track with small blades for easy transport and installation in places big turbines can't go. Radia takes the opposite approach, developing a giant aircraft to deliver ultra‑large blades to remote regions. Both target wind's biggest barrier: logistics, signaling a new era of experimental turbine design.
The Undoing: Inside the Repeal of the CO2 Endangerment Finding
13 Feb 2026 | 
The repeal of the CO2 endangerment finding marked a major shift in U.S. climate policy. EPA chief Lee Zeldin, long aligned with fossil‑fuel interests, drove the rollback through a fast, opaque process critics say ignores science and raises long‑term economic and environmental risks. Courts or a future administration could restore the finding, and Congress could codify it to prevent future reversals.
Waymo Robotaxi Crash Tests Public Trust in Autonomous EVs
12 Feb 2026 | 
A recent Waymo robotaxi crash in Phoenix has become a test of public trust in autonomous vehicles. The incident involved an electric Waymo SUV striking a towed pickup, prompting federal scrutiny and renewed debate over robotaxi readiness. Waymo and other U.S. and Chinese operators use electric platforms, linking autonomy to electrification. The crash highlights that public confidence, not engineering alone, will shape the future of robotaxis.
Do Renewables Make Climate Change Worse?
12 Feb 2026 | 
A claim that renewable energy is making extreme weather worse flips cause and effect. Climate change, driven by fossil fuels, is damaging solar and wind projects, not caused by them. There is no scientific evidence that renewables intensify storms or heatwaves. Instead, they cut emissions and reduce long-term climate risk. The narrative that renewables worsen climate change is a misinformation tactic, not a serious reading of the science.
Do Electric Cars Deliver Carbon Savings? A Critical Look
11 Feb 2026 | 
A Daily Mail article claims electric cars deliver no carbon savings, but it relies on a narrow UK study that compares EV charging emissions to tailpipes only, ignoring oil extraction, refining, and fuel distribution. When lithium refining and battery production are included for EVs and upstream oil emissions are included for ICE vehicles, peer reviewed lifecycle studies show EVs still deliver substantial lifetime carbon savings, especially as grids decarbonize.
