EPRI-NRDC report finds widespread vehicle electrification and a cleaner grid could lead to substantial cuts in GHG by 2050

Green Car Congress

Use of electric vehicles would achieve greater reductions in GHG emissions, corresponding to the rate that the electric grid becomes cleaner, through greater reliance on renewables and low- and non-emitting generation. This research points to the importance of two fundamental and parallel trends in energy and the environment.

Harvard team finds large-scale US wind power would cause warming that would take roughly a century to offset

Green Car Congress

We must quickly transition away from fossil fuels to stop carbon emissions. In doing so, we must make choices between various low-carbon technologies, all of which have some social and environmental impacts. If your perspective is the next thousand years, then wind power is enormously cleaner than coal or gas. 2018.09.009.
