Piloted Flying Electric RaceCars? For Real?

PSEG to advance its net-zero greenhouse gas goals by 20 years from 2050 to 2030; Michigan's Consumers Energy proposes to cease using coal plants by 2025, 15 years ahead of schedule; U.S. bans some solar imports from Xinjiang, China over concerns related to forced labor; Sweden's HyBrit consortium planning to build hydrogen-fired carbon-free steel plant; CIP will support 100 MW floating wind project off Scotland; Flying electric race cars may be zipping around tracks in 2022.

1) New Jersey's PSEG is moving up its net zero target, from 2050 to 2030, and selling its non-nuclear fleet, including 6,750 MW of fossil gen;

2) Michigan's Consumers Energy proposing to stop coal-fired gen by 2025, 15 years ahead of schedule, and meet demand with used natural gas power plants to provide reliable energy during transition to a cleaner gen mix.

3) The U.S. bans import of some solar products made in China's Xinjiang region to address alleged human rights and forced labor abuses;

4) Sweden's HYBRIT consortium planing to build a commercial scale carbon free iron plant using H2 to make iron.

5) Danish fund manager, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners will fund a floating wind farm with a capacity of up to a 100 MW off the coast of Scotland.

6) Australia's Alauda is developing a racing series with electrically powered flying cars. The series is expected to include 3 events at different locations this year, w/electric flying cars controlled from the ground. Manned, pilot races are planned for next year.
