Personally, I have been an EV driver for nearly a decade, and am the proud owner of a 2012 second generation Toyota RAV-4 EV, a trusty car that has been with me through many life experiences and of which fewer than 2,500 were produced (this makes me feel especially cool).

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? Such a change is actually well underway. This conversion happens in your phone’s or laptop’s wall charger, in the much larger chargers and inverters that power electric vehicles, and elsewhere.

All Global Warming Is Local. And for all those cities, with all those sources of pollution pumping CO2 and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and into the lungs of the South Bay’s one million residents, we’ve got just one woman on the payroll as the Climate Action Plan Coordinator. It hardly seems fair.

A new report from MIT’s Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change suggests that a tax on carbon emissions could help raise the money needed to reduce the US deficit, while improving the economy, lowering other taxes and reducing emissions. They found that the tax would raise $1.5

Cement production is the largest producer of CO 2 of any current manufacturing process, generating 5–6% of the global anthropogenic emissions of this greenhouse gas. This is a powerful economic incentive, rather than economic cost, to mitigate climate change through a carbon negative process. —Licht (2017). 2017.02.005.

Hence, a bidirectional charger contains a converter for rapid electrical conversions and controlling the rate of flow of electricity. The charging operator, be it you or some business person, decides how long to charge the EV, what time to charge it, and even the rate. What are the Benefits of Bidirectional Charging? Energy-efficiency.

In most conversions cost is about the same because of needless weight. How will the pressures of climate change, limited fossil fuel resources and the mainstreaming of "green" consciousness reshape society? Lead batts are around 98% recycled. In EV’s they do need replacing in about 5 yrs if done right. Follow the money.

A thinking person should ask, “How did the Leaf owner travel the unaccounted miles, the ones that were not e-miles?” Globally, billions of people are using this ancient grid as installed, but the enormous potential of the grid is untapped—we could be getting much more energy from it. But the real story is yet to be told.
