Alto Ingredients Pops in June as Biofuel Credits Rally

Alto Ingredients Inc. opens Monday’s U.S. trade after shares jumped 4.61% Friday to finish at $5.45 with around 3.1 million shares changing hands. That’s ahead of the S&P 500, which was up 0.22%, and the Nasdaq Composite, up 0.20%. The rally now faces a normal trading day instead of a quiet holiday period. Nasdaq runs pre-market, regular, and after-hours trading, with the main open at 9:30 a.m. ET and the close at 4:00 p.m. ET. June 1 isn’t a listed holiday. Nasdaq’s next closure is Juneteenth on June 19.

Tesla’s next big bet: Hiring surge for Musk’s 100GW U.S. solar plan

Tesla is ramping up hiring tied to Elon Musk’s plan to build 100 gigawatts of domestic solar manufacturing by the end of 2028, according to posts by senior executives and a job listing. The push matters now because Tesla is leaning harder on its energy business as its electric-vehicle sales slow, and as electricity demand rises from data centers linked to the expansion of artificial intelligence, Musk has said.

Perovskite Solar ‘Stickers’ Are Almost Here: How Flexible Laminates Could Turn Walls, Cars & Roofs into Power Plants

Ultra‑thin perovskite photovoltaics laminated onto flexible films are moving from lab to market. Japan is investing big and early products and pilots are appearing. The promise: lightweight power on curved or weight‑limited surfaces with fast, low‑temperature, roll‑to‑roll manufacturing. The hurdles: durability, safe lead management, and bankable certification. Financial Times, ScienceDirect, Nature Perovskites are a class of crystal materials that convert light to electricity very efficiently and can be processed from inks at low temperatures. Flexible laminates package those cells between polymer barrier films and adhesives, creating thin, light solar sheets that can bend and conform to surfaces like façades, membranes, vehicles, tents, and IoT devices.

Small Modular Reactors: Tiny Nukes, Big Revolution in Clean Energy

Small Modular Reactors are gaining global attention as a potential game-changer in nuclear energy. An SMR is essentially a miniature nuclear power reactor, typically producing up to 300 MWe – about one-third the output of a conventional reactor iaea.org. What makes SMRs special is not just their size, but their modularity: components can be factory-built and shipped to the site for assembly, promising lower costs and faster construction iaea.org. These reactors harness the same nuclear fission process as large plants to generate heat and electricity, but on a smaller, more flexible scale iaea.org. Why do SMRs matter now? In an era of climate urgency and rising energy demand, many see SMRs as a way to revive and reshape nuclear power.

Vertical Solar Farms: How Bifacial Panels Are Revolutionizing Solar Energy in 2025

Imagine solar farms that stand upright like fences, capturing the sun’s rays from both sides and sharing land with crops and livestock. Vertical solar farms – essentially solar panels mounted vertically – are emerging as a game-changing trend in renewable energy. These installations often use bifacial solar panels to harvest sunlight from the east in the morning and the west in the late afternoon sunzaun.com, solarwa.org. The result is a new kind of solar array that generates power throughout the day, works in harmony with agriculture, and addresses some challenges of traditional solar layouts. This report explains what vertical solar farms are, how bifacial panels work, why combining them is so powerful, and what benefits and challenges they bring. We’ll
