Quantum Computers Will Change Energy
13 Apr 2026 | Synopsis
Quantum computing will make the grid far more efficient by solving problems today’s computers can’t. It will cut waste, boost renewable use, and speed up breakthroughs in batteries and materials. Early benefits appear this decade, with major grid impacts in the early 2030s and broader transformation by the mid‑2030s as systems mature.German Shipbuilder Meyer Werft's "Vision": A Battery-Electric Cruise Ship
13 Apr 2026 | Synopsis
Meyer Werft's Vision concept is a fully battery‑electric 80,000‑GT cruise ship using Corvus Energy batteries, promising up to 95% emissions cuts. Designed for short‑ to mid‑range European routes, it could launch by 2031 if ordered soon. Electric propulsion removes funnels, frees deck space, cuts noise and vibration, and reimagines onboard layouts as ports expand charging infrastructure.How To Properly Test-Drive An Electric Car
12 Apr 2026 | Synopsis
A proper EV test drive means checking familiar basics plus EV‑specific traits: regenerative braking behavior, one‑pedal driving, tyre wear from heavier weight, and how intuitive the touchscreen controls are. Test charging is essential - scheduling, speeds, network integration, and battery health. Real‑world range varies with driving style, climate, terrain, and modes, so evaluate all before buying.Joby Begins Nationwide eVTOL Tour In Advanced of Pilotless Flight
12 Apr 2026 | Synopsis
Joby Aviation's electric air taxi made a public flight over San Francisco, marking a milestone toward pilotless urban air mobility. The demonstration showcased its quiet, zero-emission design and advanced automation systems. Joby aims to launch commercial service in 2025 with piloted flights, then transition to autonomous operations. The event signals growing confidence in eVTOL technology and regulatory progress toward sustainable, self-flying urban transport.France Funds Development of Ascendance Hybrid-Electric VTOL Propulsion System
12 Apr 2026 | Synopsis
Ascendance has secured €12.2 million in French government funding under the France2030 program to advance its Sterna hybrid-electric propulsion system and dual-use battery technology. The investment supports scaling production for both its Atea VTOL aircraft and smaller uncrewed platforms. Ascendance positions hybrid-electric power as a practical bridge between all-electric and hydrogen systems, enabling near-term emissions cuts while maintaining range and performance.

Iran, Oil Shocks, and the Net-Zero Blame Game
13 Apr 2026 | 
The City A.M. column argues that the Iran crisis proves Britain's net‑zero policy is economically reckless. It claims the UK's refusal to tap domestic oil and gas left it vulnerable to inflation and energy shocks, with growth stagnating and PMI data showing weakness. The author calls for renewed fossil‑fuel production to restore stability - ignoring that global oil dependence itself drives volatility and that renewables reduce long‑term geopolitical risk.
New York's Uber Insurance Fight And The Hidden EV Collision
12 Apr 2026 | 
New York's push to reclassify Uber and Lyft drivers under higher‑cost insurance rules has triggered a political fight, with warnings it could drive out part‑time drivers and raise fares. The move also threatens EV adoption in ride‑hail fleets, since EVs already face higher premiums. The outcome will shape gig‑work economics and the future of shared electric mobility in New York and beyond.
Most People Already See Climate Change As Close To Home
11 Apr 2026 | 
Most people already see climate change as happening now and close to home, so the path forward is shifting from persuasion to action. Communities can move ahead with local energy, resilience, and infrastructure projects because public support is strong, even when national leaders resist. The real opportunity is mobilizing the broad majority that accepts climate reality and building visible momentum that makes denial politically irrelevant.
"Build It Right" On The High-Voltage Frontier
09 Apr 2026 | 
In southeast Minnesota, residents facing a proposed 765‑kV transmission line fear damage to fragile karst groundwater, wildlife habitat, and rural character. The project promises regional reliability and clean energy, but locals demand independent science, real mitigation, fair compensation, and genuine decision-making power before accepting the burden of a new energy "superhighway."
The Real Energy Disaster Would Be Standing Still
09 Apr 2026 | 
A counter-narrative to claims that renewables are driving an environmental and economic crisis. Clean energy investment is not waste but strategic modernization; Europe's energy challenges stem from fuel imports, not wind and solar; and waste issues are solvable. The real risk is clinging to an aging fossil-centric system while global competitors scale the next energy economy.
