Carried long distances across the country by wind and weather, power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxide (NO x ) continually travel across state lines. The CSAPR limits emissions from upwind states’ coal- and natural gas-fired power plants, among other sources. Earlier post.).

Most growth in energy demand will occur in developing nations that are not part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Nuclear and renewable energy sources—including bio-energy, hydro, geothermal, wind, and solar—are also likely to account for nearly 40% of the growth in global energy demand by 2040.

So, I think it would be a better option to be a part of an organization that focuses on electric vehicles. #2 By integrating EVs with renewable energy generation, such as solar or wind power, it becomes possible to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources and create a more sustainable transportation ecosystem.

While the%age increase in VMT was roughly in pace with population increase, as the cost of driving went down it appears some people abandoned public transportation for driving. The decade-long nationwide slide in emissions from power production reflects the electric power sector shifting away from coal and toward less carbon-intensive fuels.

When most electricity in Britain is still generated by burning gas and coal, the difference between an electric car and a small, low-emission petrol or diesel car is negligible. Swapping gas guzzlers for electric vehicles will not solve our carbon emissions problem on its own. Professor Phil Blythe, Newcastle University. Pete James, Prodrive.

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? At current transportation battery prices, that is well beyond the cost of spinning reserve.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. What do environmental groups think of PHEVs?
