Clean Tech has a weekly podcast this week that covers the most effective energy and climate stories of 15 minutes or more, which features Paul Jerk. Factor this And how the mic of Tigerkam.
This week’s incident included special guest Sam Black, a filmmaker and more perfect union journalists, who, after the re -election of Donald Trump, began investigating the initial effects of political uncertainty on the clean energy sectors.
This week’s “Clenture of the Week” is Kevin Duffing, Project Wangord, who recently shared a post about solar and fields. He cited an interesting figure: 100 acres of land for Ethanol = 1 acre land for solar, then asks: Do we want to continue burning food for fuel? Or do our homes, cars and grids use a part of this land?
BYD said last year, leaving Tesla behind, becoming the world’s best -selling EV brand, but most Americans have never seen the BYD car and will never be at any time.
The revenue on Chinese EV has kept BYD away from the US streets, but it will not help to be competitive in a long time. China’s industrial model includes government assistance, long -term planning, and aggressive innovation, which holds it in a position to overtake the US auto industry. BYD specially produces its ingredients at home, which makes its vehicles cheaper.

Quantum is a nanquestal. They are microscope fields of semiconductor material that are 10,000 times thinner than human hair, and according to the National Renewable Energy Lab, they have the ability to double the performance of solar cells.
Last Wednesday, First Solar announced a long -term trade partnership with the advanced material company UBIQD to embed the quantum dots directly in its solar panel, which has yet to measure the technology in the US -renewable source sector.

Trump’s budget will slow down the growth of renewable sources. The Rodium Group found that by 2035, they could eliminate 72 % of all the clean electricity that were manufactured in the United States under Ira. However, even among the policy headlines, renewable technology is making significant progress.
This piece charts the history of solar and paints a hope on how photovoltaics, air and batteries – like computer chips – like the growth in the market permanently follow the learning curves, becomes better and cheap.

After Donald Trump’s election, reporter Sam Blake launched an investigation into the early effects of political uncertainty on the clean energy sectors.
He focused on the mine, which is a growing solar manpower state, and quickly found that unemployment between the Electricity in Bihar has triggered. This misery was driven by a widespread uncertainty around the destiny of Federal Clean Energy Tax Credit. In response to this uncertainty, many developers stopped or abandoned projects in solar, battery storage, and air energy, which put the future of these clean energy efforts before any government policy changed.
