Hydrogen Transportation After HVS: Narrow Niches, Big Subsidies, Long Pilots
HVS was not a fringe hydrogen truck company with a sketch and a slogan. It had a serious ambition, a real engineering team, public support, private funding, partnerships, prototypes, and a target market that sounded plausible enough: zero-emission heavy-duty freight. Hydrogen Vehicle Systems wanted to build fuel-cell trucks for a … [continued]

The Ocean Is Not A Server Rack: Panthalassa, Peter Thiel, And Wave-Powered AI Compute
I have been seeing LinkedIn posts about Panthalassa’s wave-powered AI data-center concept recently, and the reaction they’ve been getting is familiar. Big funding round. AI power bottleneck. Ocean energy. No grid connection. No land constraint. Autonomous machines. A new category. It had all the ingredients of a story built to … [continued]

Brian Fennessy, new head of the U.S. Wildland Fire Service, says his agency is ‘trying to bring on additional aircraft and bring them on early,’ and dismisses criticism of prevention methods.
Why Should You Care About Changes In Atlantic Ocean Currents?
What is causing a critical Atlantic Ocean current system to weaken much sooner than generally predicted? You guessed it: global climate change. Data accumulated in an April 2026 study, published in Science Advances, points to likely catastrophic consequences for Europe, Africa, and the Americas as a result of these Atlantic … [continued]

Ireland’s Energy Poverty Problem Needs Flexible Electric Heat, Not Fabric-First Delay
Ireland’s energy poverty problem is not an electricity access problem. Almost every Irish household is connected to electricity. The problem is whether households can keep a warm, healthy home without cutting back on food, medicine, transport, or other essentials. That makes Ireland different from countries where the main energy poverty … [continued]
