We dive into thorium nuclear reactors — a long-dormant technology with huge safety and environmental potential, now being revived by China. What are they, how do they work, and why aren’t we using them already?

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, rebuilding after devastating wildfires has sparked controversy. The mayor rolled back an electric-only building mandate to speed up reconstruction — but a new report says building all-electric is faster and cheaper. We explore why gas-free homes make more sense, even in emergencies.

The longest-range electric vehicles on the market, sometimes topping 1,000 km.

Plus:

  • Pittsburgh Airport is transforming a former landfill into a solar powerhouse.

  • BC Hydro triples its EV charging network as British Columbia adds 200,000 EVs.

  • Australia’s rooftop solar boom, EV battery longevity, and gene-edited rice in India.

The Lightning Round:

  • Uber expands robotaxi services globally with Chinese partners.

  • Waymo robotaxis: up to 25x safer for pedestrians.

  • 70% of ferries on order now electric.

  • By 2027, nearly all new homes in England must include solar panels.

We explain how thorium reactors differ from traditional nuclear, their safety advantages, and why they may be key to a cleaner energy future.
