Halve Our Energy Use
We must halve our energy use to avoid climate catastrophe: new modelling. 'New research shows that a transition to renewable energy alone is not fast enough to keep global temperatures below 2050 target levels.' (University of N.S.W., Sydney) >
Car Battery Charging "On Steroids"
Terra 360 (they claim it's the fastest in the world) 'Delivering up to 360 kW of power and a full charge in less than 15 minutes.' (ABB - a merger between ASEA and Brown Boveri) >

Very Fast Charging Batteries
Synthesis of Pseudocapacitive Porous Metal Oxide Nanoclusters Anchored on Graphene for Aqueous Energy Storage Devices with High Energy Density and Long Cycling Stability along with Ultrafast Charging Capability. 'a strategy to realize high-performance aqueous energy storages using porous Mn3O4 (p-MG) positive and porous Fe2O3 (p-FG) negative electrodes, where granular nanoclusters composing nanoparticles are produced on graphene through lithiation-induced conversion and the shortened ion diffusion lengths in p-MG and p-FG give fast charging rate and excellent cycle stability is reported.' (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) >
Australia is 91% Reliant on Foreign Oil
'Australia’s transport fuels are highly vulnerable to international prices and supply chains and yet demand-side solutions, particularly the electrification of transportation, have been ignored.' (The Australia Institute, Canberra) >
SHIPPING EMISSIONS
Why is it important to pay more attention to ship emissions? 'Ships’ detrimental impact on air quality continues to increase as the sector grows.' (European Federation for Transport and Environment, Brussels) >
