A Brown University ecologist argues that clearing forest for solar doesn’t necessarily erase its climate benefit. In Rhode Island, an acre of solar could avoid ~70 tons of CO₂ annually, offsetting roughly 150 tons released by clearing in about two years. Over 20 years, solar could prevent ~1,400 tons versus ~200 tons absorbed by the forest. But habitat, water and land-use impacts still matter05 Sep 2026 | Synopsis
Regent Craft's prototype electric seaglider, Viceroy, completed its first human-crewed flight over Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. The zero-emission wing-in-ground effect (WIG) craft flew 1,956 feet at an altitude of 33 feet above the water for about 30 seconds. Regulated as a maritime vessel by the U.S. Coast Guard, the Viceroy can carry two crew members and up to 12 passengers. 05 Sep 2026 | Synopsis
The Lord Mayor of the City of London, Susan Langley, converted an official 1973 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI limousine into an electric vehicle. Modified by Electrogenic, the classic car was retrofitted with a 120 kW electric motor and a 62 kWh battery pack, providing a range of 100 to 120 miles along with rapid-charging capability. The initiative supports the City of London Corporation's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions.04 Sep 2026 | Synopsis
According to a comparison by YouTuber R Symons, electric vehicles (EVs) save drivers about 1.75 hours of "active time" every 10,000 miles compared to gas cars. While a gas fill-up is faster upfront, drivers waste roughly 50 minutes pumping and over 4 minutes per trip paying. Conversely, because EVs can charge passively at home, a driver only spends about 16.5 active minutes plugging and unplugging per 10,000 miles.

A hundred-year concession over 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil hands sweeping control to a private American firm, raising constitutional, ethical, and geopolitical questions. Framed as the "biggest oil deal in history," it shifts sovereignty and long-term authority away from Venezuelan citizens toward a narrow circle of well-connected interests.

In the 1890s, Omaha, Nebraska built one of America's impressive electric streetcar networks, transforming transportation and fueling suburban development. By 1955, the system was gone, sacrificed to the automobile. Now Omaha is spending hundreds of millions to bring electric rail back to its streets. The irony is striking: the new streetcar may once again serve the same purpose as the old one - using transportation to reshape the city.

Washington's new Venezuela oil deal makes the U.S. government a 35 percent equity holder in a private venture, displacing Chinese and Russian operators and raising major unanswered questions about ownership, legality, governance, and long‑term geopolitical stakes. With 65 billion barrels involved, transparency over who controls the enterprise is now essential.

A Lomar bulk carrier trial using Newlight's AI-controlled micro-dose hydrogen injection cut fuel use by 24% and CO2 by 28%. By injecting under 1% hydrogen into the engine air intake as a combustion catalyst, the system displaced nearly 150 tons of HFO with just 1 ton of hydrogen. The approach delivers about $500,000 in annual fuel savings per ship and sub-18-month payback, proving trace hydrogen can unlock immediate, cost-effective decarbonization without full fuel switching.
