An experiment at a Spanish wind farm recorded almost 74% fewer annual bird deaths at turbines where one blade was painted black, compared with those that remained white. The intervention could reduce collisions, but results from other studies vary and trials remain small in scale.
Chalmers researchers modelled battery packs that bypass problematic cells, making greater use of available capacity. The analysis suggests potential for longer life and lower costs for electric vehicles, but studies covering a vehicle's entire lifetime are still lacking.
Australia's High Court overturned approval for the Mount Pleasant expansion, ruling in favour of a local environmental group. The majority found that the responsible authority should have considered conditions to limit emissions from burning exported coal.
The nine Mediterranean EU countries that make up MED9 agreed in Split to accelerate the energy transition, linking it to climate resilience and security of supply. The declaration supports electrification, low-emission energy production and storage, without numerical targets or deadlines.

The Veritasium video explains how scaling laws, from Kleiber’s law to WBE theory, connect an animal’s mass with its metabolism, heart rate and lifespan, and why humans exceed the one-billion-heartbeat limit.
Cuba has reached 1.42 GW of solar capacity across 144 photovoltaic parks and expects to exceed 1.5 GW by the end of 2026, according to President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
Electric car sales in Australia have more than doubled in a year, and one in four new cars is now electric. The progress is significant, but the country still has a way to go to meet its climate targets, especially for trucks.
The World Meteorological Organization warns of a vast and growing planetary energy imbalance that reached record levels in the oceans in 2025—a change scientists struggle even to describe in understandable terms.
Ireland’s 2027 budget allocates €1.28 billion for climate action, energy affordability and environmental protection, with targeted support for households and businesses under pressure from high energy costs.
