The largest decreases (in terms of percentage of percentage) were in Massachusetts (from 25% to 0%), Connecticut and New York (both from 14% to 1%), and Delaware (from 70% to 5%). The results indicate that the percentage of electricity generated from coal decreased from 2008 to 2018 in 49 states.
Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, and the Chair of the California Air Resources Board, Mary Nichols, today signed a new cooperation agreement to advance cleaner vehicles and fuels. The transportation sector is the source of nearly a quarter of Canada’s carbon emissions and more than 40% of California’s.
The governors of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, and the mayor of the District of Columbia announced that theirs will be the first jurisdictions to launch a new multi-state program that the principals expect will invest some $300 million per year in cleaner transportation choices.
Over the last three years, EPA has provided nearly $300 million in grants and rebates to modernize diesel fleets with cleaner heavy-duty trucks and equipment, according to EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. Under this competition, EPA anticipates awarding between 40 and 70 assistance agreements. Background.
Applicants may request funding to upgrade or replace diesel-powered buses, trucks, marine engines, locomotives and nonroad equipment with newer, cleaner technologies. Region 3 (Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia) will accept proposals requesting up to $2,500,000 in grant funds. Background.
Each of the four recipients will match a percentage of the grant amount with their own funds to purchase compressed natural gas-powered vehicles; retrofit diesel engines with cleaner technology; replace older, more polluting diesel buses with cleaner diesel buses; or purchase hybrid electric-powered buses.
Signing the Memorandum of Understanding were the Governors from Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.
FTA’s Low-No Program supports transit agencies in purchasing or leasing low- or no-emission buses and other transit vehicles that use technologies such as battery electric and fuel-cell power to provide cleaner, more efficient transit service in communities across the country.

Earlier research by one of the study’s co-authors, James Corbett, of the University of Delaware, linked particle pollution to premature deaths among coastal populations. As a result, some ships use “cleaner,” low-sulfur fuels, while others continue to use the high-sulfur counterparts. James Corbett.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf announced that 34 cleaner energy transportation projects will receive $8,489,844 in Driving PA Forward grants and rebates. In this second set of awards, the following recipients will receive grants and rebates: Statewide. Multi-county.
The US Air Force Office of Scientific Research ( AFOSR ) has awarded an interdisciplinary team of scientists led by Princeton engineers a two-year, $3-million grant to develop nanoscale graphene additives for novel fuels to help supersonic jets fly faster and diesel engines cleaner and more efficient.

In a 2007 study, Winebrake and James Corbett from the University of Delaware (who is a co-author of the current study) concluded that pollution from marine shipping causes approximately 60,000 premature cardiopulmonary and lung cancer deaths around the world each year. case and ~43,500 for the 0.1% S, premature deaths are reduced by ~41,200.
Some of these commercial campuses have maybe 3,000 employees, with as many as 1,000 of them driving EVs now, and so they’re trying to figure out, “How do I get enough infrastructure in place to help support my employees, and support cleaner commutes?” We have a system running for the Delaware National Guard—that’s a military installation.
Delaware Transit Corporation. Delaware Transit Corporation will receive funding to purchase Proterra 35' Catalyst E2 battery electric Buses, serving Wilmington and Sussex County. This project will begin to fulfill Mountain Rides' goal of moving from diesel powered buses to cleaner, cheaper, easier to maintain battery electric buses.
It covers ten Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont). As the price of pollution goes up, it becomes increasingly profitable for companies to shift to cleaner sources of energy instead of buying allowances to pollute.
