An analysis of nearly 300 million MOT test records shows that electric cars now match gas and diesel vehicles in lifespan and mileage, averaging 18.4 years and 124,000 miles. These findings can help consumers make informed choices and will hopefully continue to guide policymakers in shaping regulations, incentives, and end-of-life planning for sustainable vehicles.

Wave Power! Ocean Energy has deployed its 826-ton wave energy converter buoy, OE-35, at the US Navy's Wave Energy Test Site off Oahu's coast. This buoy is set to be connected to Hawaii's electricity grid. It has been tested in both Hawaii and Scotland as part of a $12 million project funded by the US Department of Energy and the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. The OE-35 can generate up to 1.25 MW of power by harnessing wave energy with a unique double-flow air system. Unlike typical wave power systems that act like piston engines with power and reset periods, the OE-35 uses a turbine based on the Wells turbine, invented by Alan Arthur Wells. This low-pressure air turbine spins continuously in one direction regardless of the air flow direction. As waves compress air in the buoy's chambers, the turbine spins. When the air expands and reverses flow, the turbine still spins in the same direction, eliminating the need for complex mechanisms to handle bidirectional air flow.

Electrifying Public Transportation Transportation is currently responsible for 37% of all carbon emissions in the U.S. Electrifying transportation is one of the fastest, and most effective, ways to reduce emissions and curb climate change. Despite its many advantages (cleaner air, reduced GHG emissions, improved infrastructure) the e...
