Trump's Iran Bombing Will Accelerate Global Electrification & Biofuels - CleanTechnica
The June 2025 U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities by the U.S. and Israel triggered a sharp surge in global oil prices, highlighting the vulnerabilities of heavy reliance on petroleum, especially in geopolitically sensitive regions like the Persian Gulf. President Trump’s aggressive rhetoric and demands for swift peace have intensified uncertainty in energy markets, contributing to inflation fears and renewed recessionary pressures in fragile economies such as the United States. This economic strain, dubbed the "Trumpcession," is squeezing American consumers through rising gasoline prices, paradoxically increasing interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and alternative transport options despite limited federal support. In contrast, China is responding strategically by accelerating its electrification and renewable energy initiatives, aiming to reduce its critical exposure to oil import disruptions. Already a global leader in EV production, battery manufacturing, and renewable deployment, China plans to expand EV quotas, invest heavily in battery factories, and build extensive charging infrastructure to enhance energy security. Similarly, the European Union views the crisis as

Ethiopia made a groundbreaking move by banning the import of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles over a year ago, becoming the first country to implement an immediate ban rather than setting a future target. The ban aimed to reduce the country’s large fossil fuel import bill of over US$5 billion annually, conserve scarce foreign currency, and promote energy security. This policy was supported by Ethiopia’s growing renewable energy capacity, notably from the 5,150 MW Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which adds around 15,500 GWh of clean electricity to the national grid. Initially, the ban excluded semi-knocked down (SKD) and completely knocked down (CKD) ICE vehicle kits to support local assembly industries. However, in May 2025, Ethiopia’s Ministry of Industry updated the ban to include SKD and CKD kits for ICE vehicles and motorcycles, effectively closing the last import channel for fossil fuel-powered vehicles. Exceptions remain for electric motor-powered, hybrid vehicles, and ambul

Proxima Fusion, a German nuclear fusion startup, has raised €130 million (about $148 million) in a Series A funding round led by Balderton Capital and Cherry Ventures. This brings its total funding to over €185 million ($200 million), positioning Proxima as a leading European contender in the race to develop commercial fusion energy. The company focuses on stellarator reactors, which use twisted magnetic fields to confine plasma more stably than the more common tokamak designs. Proxima’s Stellaris design, developed near Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, represents a significant technical milestone that helped secure the oversubscribed funding round. CEO Francesco Sciortino emphasized that the new capital will enable Proxima to reach critical milestones, including a key hardware demonstration planned for 2027, with the goal of advancing toward commercial viability by around 2031. The funding round attracted primarily European investors, reflecting a broader ambition for Europe to play a leadership role in the global energy transition by developing clean, stable, and uranium-free fusion power. Proxima operates across multiple European countries, with headquarters in Munich and research teams in Switzerland and the UK, underscoring its pan-European identity and commitment to building a sustainable energy future on the continent.
