Natural photosynthesis uses solar energy to recycle CO 2 (and H 2 O) into new plant life (biomass) and ultimately fuels (biofuels). Major reductions in emissions from the transportation sector will necessitate a change in vehicle fuels. Tags: Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCC) Climate Change Emissions Fuels.

The growth potential of EVs is high and I would like to be a part of it by contributing my ideas and effort. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, EVs help to mitigate climate change and improve air quality. 10 Are EVs eco-friendly since we generate electricity from coal? The charging efficiency is 98%.

But I will admit that one thing has changed even more than the size of our electric bill and that’s the size of the solar PV system we now need to generate 100% of our electricity – because the same moves that cut our electric bill also cut the number of solar panels we need by 50% too.
