Japan has installed its first-ever megawatt-scale tidal energy turbine, the 1.1 MW AR1100, in the fast-flowing Naru Strait—marking a historic leap in ocean-powered clean energy.

Developed by Proteus Marine Renewables, the turbine uses sophisticated blade pitch and yaw control systems to capture energy from underwater tidal currents, which are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.

What makes this technology especially fascinating is its ability to generate electricity from the rise and fall of the tides, a completely predictable force that delivers power with clockwork precision—unlike wind or solar.

The AR1100 is connected to the local grid via subsea cable and will help power the Goto Islands, significantly reducing reliance on diesel and other fossil fuels.

This milestone places Japan at the forefront of marine energy innovation and underscores tidal power’s potential as a stable, long-term solution for coastal and island communities.

Honda has just unveiled its next-generation hydrogen fuel cell, and it’s faster, stronger, and more efficient than ever! This cutting-edge system delivers 3X the power density, 2X the durability, and slashes production costs by 50%, making hydrogen a serious competitor in the EV space.
But it’s not just for cars! Honda’s fuel cell tech is set to revolutionize trucks, buses, construction equipment, ships, and even aerospace. With fast refueling (under 5 minutes), long-range capability (comparable to diesel engines), and zero emissions, it offers a sustainable alternative to battery-electric vehicles, especially for industries that demand high power and long operational hours.
Honda is also exploring stationary fuel cell power generation, which could provide clean, hydrogen-based electricity for homes, businesses, and remote locations. As governments push for carbon neutrality, could this breakthrough put hydrogen back in the spotlight?

Patrick Swayze once remarked, "People told me my house smelled like dogs, and I asked them, do you even know what a dog smells like? It smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, affection, and pure, unconditional love. Despite everything they’ve been through, they carry no scent of resentment. I feel blessed that my house smells like dogs."

Isn’t this the perfect reminder that true blessings can’t be measured by society’s standards? Patrick Swayze beautifully articulated what we devoted dog lovers have always known—that a home filled with the presence of our loyal companions is truly filled with love, not just a "dog smell." When our hearts overflow with joy and gratitude from our four-legged angels, why should we care what others think about our homes? After all, the most precious things in life are invisible to the eye but deeply felt... and sometimes, yes, even smelled. ❤️

Did you know wolves howl in over 21 different dialects? They rely on a variety of howls to communicate 🐺 Howls aren't their only vocalizations though - wolves whine, whimper, growl, + even squeak!

The world’s biggest colonial power prided itself on being a liberal democracy. Was this part of the problem?
