Toyota Admits Crisis as China Takes Over the Automotive

A turning point is revealed for both clean energy and the auto industry. Legacy giants like Toyota and Honda are now openly warning they may not survive unless they catch up to China's lightning-fast EV market. At the same time, the UK is heading into a strange new phase of the energy transition—so much wind and solar power could be coming online that people may actually be encouraged to use more electricity to keep the grid stable. Add in a potential all-electric cruise ship, surprising research on wind turbines and birds, and a bizarre new trend in climate communication, and you've got a packed episode.

Lightning Round

• Emperor penguins face growing extinction risk as melting sea ice leads to mass chick deaths.
• Waymo is preparing to enter Canada through Ontario's autonomous vehicle pilot, though concerns about job losses are already surfacing.

• Microsoft dominated the carbon removal market and is backing a major Indigenous-led carbon capture project in Canada.
• A new video series is using provocative, attention-grabbing methods—including OnlyFans—to explain climate change.
