China’s sodium battery revolution sparks global EV rivalries and resets market rules
China’s CATL unveiled its first mass-market sodium-ion battery, dubbed the “salt battery,” with an energy density of 175 Wh/kg — matching lithium iron phosphate (LFP) performance while offering superior safety, cold-weather resilience and lower costs. Sodium is abundant, cheaper (1-3% the cost of lithium) and avoids reliance on conflict-prone lithium/cobalt supply chains. It also reduces […]

Google’s nuclear bet on clean energy faces scrutiny amid accusations of greenwashing AI’s soaring power demand
Google is investing in nuclear energy to power its AI operations, partnering with Kairos Power (molten salt reactors by 2030) and Elementl Power (three potential 600MW fission reactor sites). However, details on reactor designs and locations remain unclear, and regulatory hurdles could delay timelines. Google’s 2024 emissions rose 13% year-over-year, driven by AI data centers. […]

U.S. faces threat of Spain-style blackouts amid polarized energy debate, warns Interior secretary
U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum warns that America could face catastrophic blackouts like Spain’s due to overreliance on intermittent renewables and policies sidelining stable energy sources (coal, nuclear). Spain’s April 2024 grid failure, triggered by rapid renewable adoption and coal/nuclear plant closures, caused widespread chaos (stranded commuters, halted flights) and €1.5 billion in losses — […]
