BMW built the same car for gas and electric. The EV is $4,400 cheaper. | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, automotive analysts have been predicting that electric vehicles would become cheaper than their gas-powered equivalents. They figured it would happen sometime in the latter half of the 2020s. BloombergNEF, for example, expected it to happen in 2026. EV prices have dropped significantly in the last few years, but it has been hard to compare prices with fossil fuel vehicles because not every EV has a like-for-like gas-powered model. BMW has given us one. The 2027 BMW 3 Series comes in b
The AI boom took over Climate Week and not everyone is happy about it | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … I’ll spare you the rest, but the cliché Dickens line really does sum up this year’s New York Climate Week. Much of the climate tech community — like the rest of the U.S. economy — is eagerly riding the AI wave. Some have reservations about the sheer quantity of natural gas power plants being built to power AI data centers. But because many climate tech startups are energy-focused or energy-adjacent, the buildout has been embraced as an opport
The Aeropod automates soil aeration without robotics — see it at TechCrunch Disrupt | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Farmers around the world face a pressing problem: The equipment they use to till, plant, and harvest their fields is killing their margins. Studies have estimated that soil compaction can reduce yields by 20% to 60%. Plowing can help, but it’s a laborious and expensive task that harms soil health in different ways. Muju Earth has developed an alternative, the Aeropod, that automatically aerates the soil without machinery or robotics. The startup says it can promote better soil health while cutti
If Amazon doesn’t know how to eliminate carbon emissions, then who does? | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amazon’s chief sustainability officer said Tuesday the company doesn’t know how it will achieve its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. “We are still striving towards that target,” Kara Hurst said at an Axios event, adding later that she is “not going to sit here and say, ‘We know all the ways that we’re going to do this.’” The admission was both frank and realistic. It’s also a bit disappointing. If Amazon doesn’t have a plan to decarbonize, then who does? Amazon is one of the largest co
Khosla-backed Mazama Energy just raised $135M to drill deeper into super-hot-rock geothermal | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Geothermal startup Mazama Energy raised $135 million in an oversubscribed Series B, the startup said Thursday. The fresh funding will help the company develop horizontal wells in super-hot rocks capable of generating 15 megawatts of electricity per well. Mazama plans to start generating electricity sometime next year and said its first site in Oregon is capable of producing 10 gigawatts of electricity. That’s a sharp upward revision from the company’s estimate last year, when investor Vinod Khos
