Depending on which side of the fence you sit on, either Waymo or Tesla is leading the robotaxi revolution in the United States. Objectively, Waymo has far more self-driving cars and robotaxi users, but Tesla fans think only Tesla has the right approach long term, and that improvements in “Full … [continued]
Here’s a big chance for cheap, small-car proponents in the USA. Stellantis is bringing the Fiat Topolino EV to town, and it checks the boxes for what many of us have been wanting. The question, as always with small cars in the US, is if many people will actually buy … [continued]
The full potential of geothermal energy can be realized through creation of new well technologies and retrofitting of existing wells, hybridization with other renewables, novel power-generation resources and technologies, and community-based heating, cooling, and resilience. Graphic by Al Hicks, NREL.
Clean energy may be the ultimate no-brainer, but how it is presented often gets in the way of the message. These groups want to change that.
Most of us would like to really know how much safer (or not) various robotaxis are than human drivers, and in particular how much safer (or not) they are than the human drivers they’re replacing. Tesla puts out these very generic safety statistics that are by and large useless because … [continued]

Floating solar PV power has become more and more popular. It was quite niche for several years, but it is getting more or less “mainstream.” As it has gotten bigger and bigger, innovative designs for certain climates and geographies have been getting developed. I recently wrote about floating solar PV … [continued]
A snowy country like Norway is going to approach solar power in a different way from a place like the Bahamas. It’s not surprising to find out, then, that a company in Norway has developed a “vertical PV” system designed to help deal with very snowy conditions. Now that company … [continued]
