But instead of replacing millions of cars and trucks, a new approach is gaining attention: converting existing vehicles into electric ones.At workshops near the Indian capital, old diesel trucks are being retrofitted with electric powertrains — extending their lifespan while cutting emissions and costs. The process is faster and significantly cheaper than buying new electric vehicles.But can retrofitting scale fast enough to make a real impact?

simsa03: What I don't understand about the rush to SMR nuclear reactors: Why not adopt already existing naval nuclear reactors and their designs? Is it that they use up to 90% enriched fission material whereas civilian reactors only use 5% to 20%? So, although naval reactors use weapons-grade nuclear material, they come with the advantage that they can be shut down and powered up in seconds which could make them appropriate to balance the volatility of renewables in the grid. #nuclear #renewables #peakrenewables #energy #infrastructure
