Andrew Mangano demonstrates that electric vehicles can travel across Australia powered primarily by solar energy, countering claims that EVs rely on fossil fuel electricity. The journey aims to prove the viability of renewable-powered transportation.
Plastic pollution in the deep sea may disrupt bioluminescent light production in organisms, impairing their ability to find food and mates. Researchers warn that ingested plastics could damage tissues and interfere with the chemical pathways that create bioluminescence.
Yellow-eyed penguins in New Zealand are disappearing from traditional breeding areas like Sandfly Bay. Conservationists are focusing on reducing deaths caused by fishing nets as a key threat to the species.
A photographer captured a mountain lion in front of the Hollywood sign, challenging assumptions about wildlife presence in Los Angeles. The image helped spark conservation efforts for the species in the region.
Fireflies are disappearing from Bali due to habitat loss, light pollution, pesticides, and climate change. Local activist Wayan Wardika launched Bring Back the Light in 2020 to restore the species.
Datacenter developers are allegedly manipulating EPA permitting processes by dividing emissions sources into multiple minor permits to avoid stricter major source reviews and environmental scrutiny.
US wildlife officials are increasingly managing encounters between bears and humans as bears enter populated areas. Wildlife workers face difficult decisions about how to handle the rising conflict between expanding bear populations and human settlements.
Heathrow's third runway project faces a four-year delay, with operations now projected for 2039 instead of 2035. Prime Minister Burnham declined to confirm support for the contested expansion.
NIO sold a 30% stake in its battery swap unit to Geely Holding for $2.4 billion valuation. The deal includes asset contributions and cross-ownership of charging infrastructure between the two companies.
An 11-megawatt solar power plant in Elgin, Illinois uses high-density racking to fit on a constrained, irregular land parcel. The innovative system enables solar developers to maximize renewable energy generation in space-limited urban areas.
A new UK study demonstrates that used electric vehicles maintain high reliability even with high mileage, based on standard road safety tests compared to gas-powered cars. This finding provides car dealers with stronger evidence to support used EV sales.
The Philippines' electric vehicle transition requires regional coordination within ASEAN rather than focusing solely on domestic initiatives. Regional cooperation is essential for sustainable EV adoption across Southeast Asia.
A partnership between geothermal startup Dandelion Energy and homebuilder Lennar completed nearly 100 homes in Colorado using geothermal heating and cooling technology. The development serves as a testing ground for transforming residential energy use across the country.
A new report claims Florida's major Everglades restoration reservoir under construction will be insufficient to save the ecosystem. The project, promoted by Gov. DeSantis as a "crown jewel," may require additional measures beyond current plans.
Pennsylvania rural communities face contamination from PFOA and other 'forever chemicals' that persist in the environment and human bodies. The story follows affected residents like Nicole Williams dealing with the health and environmental impacts of these persistent pollutants.
Zhejiang province in China has established market rules for 40 grid-side battery storage projects totaling 2.54 GW/5.1 GWh. Full price-and-quantity bidding for these projects is planned to begin in 2027.
Section 232 tariffs are expected to increase U.S. solar module prices by at least 40%, forcing developers to accelerate imports or secure existing inventory before minimum pricing takes effect.
Tegrona has launched free software that uses photographs to calculate how many solar panels fit on rooftops. The tool automatically corrects perspective, determines roof dimensions, and generates module layouts without requiring CAD tools or site measurements.
Brazil faces rising costs from grid curtailment and ramp rates, but lacks VPP regulations to optimize distributed energy resources. Virtual power plants could reduce reliance on expensive thermal generators while supporting energy transition.
Research identifies 485 chemicals in US pesticide products linked to breast cancer, raising safety concerns about food and consumer products. The study highlights regulatory gaps in pesticide safety reviews, particularly for inactive ingredients.
Bangkok declared a disaster zone after 300mm of rainfall in 48 hours flooded homes, shops, and roads with waist-deep water. The deluge swelled the city's canal network, submerging cars and inundating surrounding businesses.
Shipping fleet JUNA has deployed its 110th Scania electric semi truck, demonstrating years of real-world EV adoption by European fleets. The announcement highlights ongoing progress in electrifying heavy-duty transportation.
Tesla's Semi Class 8 truck factory launched in Nevada, positioning the vehicle as another success story for the company. CEO Elon Musk did not attend the official launch event in person.
Fireflies in Bali have nearly disappeared over four decades due to habitat loss, light pollution, pesticides, and climate change. A local man is leading conservation efforts to restore populations in Southeast Asian rice fields.
A year-long study in Milan demonstrates that phase change material backing reduces rear-side heat flux in solar modules by 45.2%, potentially improving PV efficiency. The research reveals that PCM's thermal history significantly affects heat rejection independent of surface temperature.
