Musking? What the hell is that, right? Well, it actually makes a lot of sense — it’s simply blocking in gas-powered cars that have parked in electric vehicle charging stations. This is a predictable reaction to the relatively common practice of ICEing — which is, to say, the practice and art of parking your gas-guzzler in EV charging s and pretending to

Pictures of Tesla’s new underground Supercharger station in London recently came to my attention, and while I won’t say that I’m surprised by them (given Elon Musk’s flair for the dramatic/stylish/futuristic), they are more interesting than I would have guessed. Who would have thought that what is, essentially, just a gas station, could look so interesting. (Not necessarily a knock

Project developers are flocking to Telangana to take advantage of the power-deficient scenario prevalent in these states. Following the separation of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, the power generation assets were distributed between the present-day Andhra Pradesh and the newly created state of Telangana. This somehow worsened the power supply situation in the two states. Both are now competing to secure any

This is not your father’s oil price cycle, and the next generation of transformative energy technology is already on the horizon. Case in point: graphene, the “nanomaterial of the new millennium.” In the latest development, researchers
