Energy researchers: clean US hydrogen economy is within reach, but needs a game plan

Green Car Congress

Addressing climate change requires not only a clean electrical grid, but also a clean fuel to reduce emissions from industrial heat, long-haul heavy transportation, and long-duration energy storage. Hydrogen and its derivatives could be that fuel, argues a commentary by four energy researchers in the journal Joule.

Study Concludes That Improving Truck Fuel Economy Would Create More Than 120K New US Jobs by 2030

Green Car Congress

Investing in fuel efficiency technologies for heavy-duty trucks would create jobs in the manufacturing sector and throughout the entire economy because fuel savings outweigh the cost of more efficient trucks. UCS found that net cost savings from more efficient trucks would total $24 billion in 2030 at fuel prices of about $3.50

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Had it not been so exceptionally calm in the run up to this autumn equinox, one could call the energy crisis a perfect storm. When David Cameron’s energy bill was being discussed in Parliament in 2013, the word on everybody’s lips was ‘trilemma’: how to ensure that energy was affordable, reliable and low-carbon.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

Is 381 miles by the shortest route and 420 miles if I take the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Or are you getting in the car and doing 300 miles at 75 miles an hour, where aerodynamic drag consumes more energy than actually moving your two- or three-ton vehicle along the highway? From Pittsburgh to the town of Gardiner, N.Y., Finally, age.
