Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing. Climate Change. This was plain wrong. Energy Solutions.

MIT researchers conclude fundamental changes in the US energy-innovation system are needed to meet challenges of climate change and energy supply

Green Car Congress

The build-up of greenhouse bases in the atmosphere continues unabated, and its environmental and human costs are mounting. The energy/climate debate of rent years has been dominated by the idea that the price of fossil fuels must be raised to reflect the full cost of their use. Innovation should become that focus.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

The electric road ahead for heavy trucks is not exactly clear, and there are several roadblocks, some obvious and some far less so. Fleets don’t want to go electric at scale until they’ve done years-long pilots, but the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will artificially constrict that timeframe. Soon they won’t have a choice.
