"2,040 reservations brought in nearly $34 million"The sum gets the company into pre-production and validation testing, and it unlocks a $21.9 million grant from California's Solar Mobility Manufacturing Project...The grant is contingent upon Aptera buying $21.9 million in production equipment to build the car in the state...If Aptera can show a production-intent vehicle that's can do what's been claimed, the outfit's staying power and 46,000 reservations would indicate nothing is out of the question..."

"The biggest thing to know is that you'll need to think a bit harder about refueling than you're used to...EV charging requires some more planning ahead."Note that EV chargers are often finicky and may spit out errors a couple of times before successfully accepting your payment...Fundamentally, charging an electric car comes down to locating a station that suits your needs (slow or fast) and your car (Tesla or not)."

"100,000 public or shared private electric vehicle chargers have been installed throughout California, which is on top of over 500,000 at-home chargers. This comes just weeks after the approval of a $1.9 billion plan to build a bigger, better charging network."The plan details how the money will be spent with at least 50% dedicated to benefiting communities disproportionately impacted by pollution. With this funding, the state expects to reach its goal of 250,000 public chargers in the next few years."

"New and existing customers of Ford EVs can get a fast-charging adapter at no cost through June 30, 2024, to charge on Tesla superchargers. The adapter will cost $230 after the offer expires."While initially charging on the network will require an adapter provided by the respective automakers, they would no longer be needed once vehicles integrate Tesla's charging standard."

"...the next transportation bill needs to offer clean mobility options, like transit, car share, active modes, and electrification.."Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), gave state transportation officials discretion over how to spend money distributed by the $1.2 trillion package... Transportation for America warned in a new analysis of 57,000 projects that the law has revealed itself to be a "climate time bomb"...more than half of the funds - about $70 billion - so far spent on resurfacing and expanding highways."

Jonathon Kolak, the only federal scientist tracking abandoned oil and gas wells in U.S. national parks, was abruptly fired in 2023. His work exposed methane leaks and legacy pollution across public lands. No replacement was named. Critics say his dismissal signals a retreat from environmental accountability and transparency, just as the U.S. faces mounting climate and cleanup challenges.

China's Thorium Molten Salt Reactor achieved the world's first thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, proving thorium can generate uranium-233 for future reactors. The experimental setup doesn't produce electricity but validates fuel viability. China aims to build a 100 MW demonstration reactor by 2035. This breakthrough supports safer, scalable nuclear energy and positions China as a leader in fourth-generation reactor technology.

The EMEA Automotive Carbon Neutral Summit 2025 will confront the gap between ambition and execution. Automakers must scale low‑carbon technologies, decarbonize sprawling supply chains, and secure renewable energy for factories and charging networks. Executives will push for clear policy, carbon pricing, and stable investment signals. Circular economy practices and global competition add urgency. The challenge: make carbon neutrality practical, profitable, and fast enough to meet climate goals.

Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.

Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.
