Reimagining the Grid for the 21st Century with Virtual Power Plants

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that instead of investing in new utility-scale plants, grid operators should deploy virtual power plants (VPPs) - software-driven networks of rooftop solar, batteries, EVs, and smart devices that act as flexible grid resources. VPPs cost less ($43/kW‑yr) than utility batteries or gas peaker plants, are deployable in months, support grid reliability under heat stress, and offer substantial cost savings and resilience."

How Does Speed Affect EV Range?

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Car & Driver's real‑world testing confirms that electric vehicle range drops sharply as highway speeds rise. Above ~75 mph, EVs fall well short of EPA numbers, with efficiency losses increasing non‑linearly. Data and driver reports show aerodynamic drag dominates power use at speed, offering substantial range gains by slowing down. In many cases, reducing speed by 5–10 mph can boost range by around 10–20 %.

How Ancient Kings & Their False God Screwed Up Cleantech Adoption & Other Climate Efforts Today

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that historical use of divine-right monarchy and violent religion enabled climate inaction - where leaders treated natural disasters as "acts of god," discouraging proactive adaptation or clean-energy investment. This mindset persists today in forms like dominionism, which devalues stewardship and justifies resisting clean technology. Breaking from this theology, the author suggests, is essential for accelerating cleantech adoption and climate resilience."

Evaluating Mexico's EV Market: Underreporting and the Bigger Picture

26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Mexico's official EV sales figures significantly undercount actual adoption. CleanTechnica estimates more than 40,000 BEV units were sold in 2024-far exceeding INEGI's reported ~24,000-because many Chinese-brand dealers operate outside AMDA channels. Electrified vehicle sales surged - 84% in 2024, Q1 - 2025 plug-ins tripled, and nearly 250,000 EVs are projected to be built in Mexico by end - 2025. China's BYD, GAC Aion, Omoda, and Neta are reshaping Mexico City's streets - prompting a comparison that the capital now feels like Shanghai.

Average Used EV Costs Less Than Used Gas-Powered Vehicle, Study Says

26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

The average price of a used 1- to 5-year-old electric vehicle in June 2025 was $31,354 - about $1,200 less than the $32,525 average for used internal-combustion cars. According to iSeeCars data cited by Spectrum, EV used prices fell 4.8% year‑over‑year while gas-powered used car prices rose 5.2%. Teslas (Model S, X, Y) dominated the largest price drops. Value-conscious shoppers now find used EVs more affordable than gas cars.

Electric Vehicles Are Simply Better. Here's The Proof

26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

The article argues EVs are "an obvious upgrade over combustion machines - quieter, cleaner, more efficient and easier to maintain." The author contends that EV proponents have mistakenly framed the debate as a moral issue rather than highlighting these practical advantages. The piece presents EVs as superior technology based on performance and maintenance benefits rather than environmental arguments.

EV Repairs Are Cheaper Than Gas Cars, But There's a Catch, Says Study

26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

A recent study found that while the maintenance of electric vehicles is cheaper than gasoline-powered cars, the catch is that repair costs can be higher. This is especially true for Teslas, which use large, expensive "gigacastings" and advanced technology. Additionally, service visits for EVs may take longer, and it can take more than one visit to resolve an issue. However, overall, EV owners can still save money in the long run due to lower maintenance and operational costs.

Healthy Environment Ruled A Human Right By World's Top Court, As Campaigners Hail 'Seismic' Win

25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

In a landmark July 23 advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that every nation has a legal obligation under international law to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, affirming that a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a fundamental human right. The court found that inaction on climate change - especially by high-emitting countries - could constitute an internationally wrongful act, potentially triggering liability or reparations for affected nations including climate refugees from island states."

UN Chief Guterres: "Fossil Fuels Running Out of Road"

25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared that renewables have reached a "turning point": over 90% of new projects are now cheaper than fossil fuels - solar ~41% cheaper, wind ~53% cheaper. In 2024, investment in clean energy hit $2 trillion, $800 billion more than fossil fuel investment. Guterres warned that fossil fuels "are running out of road," urging global leaders and tech firms to shift rapidly to clean power.

Fact Check: Renewables Not to Blame for Texas Power Price Spike

25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Fact Check: Against WSJ's claim, renewables did not drive the rise in Texas electricity bills. Expert analysis shows that inflation, natural gas price surges, grid upgrade costs, and post‑freeze recovery efforts are the true drivers of higher rates. Meanwhile, clean energy continues to offer long‑term affordability. Experts warn that scaling back solar and wind could raise, not reduce, future energy costs.

Are These Charging Cubes the Answer?

25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

MAN Truck & Bus has launched the Smart Charging Cube - a modular battery energy storage system ranging from 500 to 1,100 kWh, with up to four fast-charge ports per unit (400 kW), extendable to 1 MW via external charging, ideal for electric truck depots, construction sites, or grid-limited areas. It supports solar input, peak shaving, bidirectional power flow, and enables rapid deployment without major infrastructure
