This Week in Cleantech

New York Times

Paul Gerke and Mike Casey return from a two-week break to cover the looming copper shortage and how cheap solar quietly passed nuclear in global power output. They look at why vehicle-to-grid tech hasn’t taken off and whether Ford’s new Fathom pickup can change that, plus how solid-state transformers could ease grid bottlenecks for the AI boom. The New York Times’ Brad Plumer explains how heat batteries like Antora’s turn cheap power into industrial steam. Cleantecher of the Week is Endurance Energy’s founder, who tested the first subsea geothermal plant in an underwater volcano.
