The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a ban on funding for wind and solar energy projects on American farmland. This decision is aligned with the Trump administration’s strategy to reduce incentives for renewable energy and support fossil fuels and biofuels instead. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins emphasized that taxpayer dollars will no longer fund […]
Researchers from King’s College London have conducted a study suggesting that solar panels in space could potentially fulfill up to 80% of Europe’s renewable energy requirements by 2050. By employing a computer model of the continent’s power grid and using Nasa’s designs for space-based solar power (SBSP) systems, the study indicates that such technology could […]
BYD has made a significant leap in the Fortune Global 500 list, moving up to #91 and climbing over 50 spots from its previous rank of #143 in 2024. The company’s impressive growth is evidenced by its annual revenue of approximately USD 107.1 billion and a record of 4.27 million new energy vehicle (NEV) sales […]
New York City has introduced its first hybrid-electric ferry, named Harbor Charger, to provide a cleaner transportation option to Governors Island. This vessel, which began service recently, marks a significant advancement in sustainable maritime transport. With a hybrid design that allows it to run on electric power part of the time, it aims to replace […]
