BYD Atto 3 (Source: BYD) Europe and the US say that Chinese EV development is running wild and unchecked and on the verge of overwhelming the global market with, well, EVs the rest of the world can’t compete with. China last year overtook Japan as the world’s biggest car exporter ­– but most of those were ICE vehicles sold to Russia.

In the 1990s, the magnesium metal market was dominated by supply from North America (46%), what is now the CIS (25%) and western Europe (19%). Then came the rapid ascent of production in China and with it a flood of low-cost magnesium. By the early 2000s production in France, Italy and Norway had ended.

Spirit Airlines, once a fast-growing low-cost carrier, is struggling to convince investors that it has a clear path forward after an antitrust ruling blocked the sale of the company to JetBlue Airways. She said Spirit’s cheap flights and influence on other airlines’ prices gave Americans “an equal opportunity to travel.”

Powervault units can also automatically charge using low-cost, off-peak energy from the grid. As well as reducing the cost of production of a Powervault, the use of second-life batteries will also optimize the life-cycle of the Renault batteries before they are recycled.

Wind power isn’t far behind While solar is surging ahead in terms of cost-effectiveness, onshore wind isn’t far behind despite costs being 38% more than solar in 2023. But while low costs support a continued boom in renewables investments, there is concern among investors on profitability, grid integration, backup, and energy storage.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 put Ukrainian communications in a literal jam: Just before the invasion, Russian hackers knocked out Viasat satellite ground receivers across Europe. Then entrepreneur Elon Musk swept in to offer access to Starlink , SpaceX’s growing network of low-Earth orbit (LEO) communications satellites.

All are counting on battery innovations to improve EV performance, drive down costs, and eliminate dependence on scarce materials. The ideal battery will be made of low-cost, plentiful materials that are lightweight and flexible enough to allow vehicle design innovations. Anodes are most commonly made of graphite.

But the technology that I needed to make it happen—reliable low-cost communications, cheap screens and processors—didn’t exist yet. How did these ugly, piece-of-crap thermostats cost almost as much as Apple’s most cutting-edge technology? Eventually I realized I was making a perfect remote control for a thermostat.

And in any case, an inflexible approach to regulation has caused the cost of new nuclear to balloon – despite it being perhaps the most obvious solution to our long-term energy needs. Gas is the only answer. So that leaves gas with the task of keeping the lights on. Then came the shale gas revolution, pioneered in Texas.
