As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. The typical carbon footprint of an individual in the United States stands at 16 tons , which is one of the highest rates globally, but EVs can help significantly reduce this.

Public Utility Commissions (PUCs)] and many state and federal agencies,” states a report by the non-profit group Americans for a Clean Energy Grid. These are complex, intertwined and global issues well beyond the control of either CARB or the auto industry.” Vinsel further notes, “Successful regulation is fragile.”

In the study, the researchers examined how radiation predictions made with DeepMC can be used to predict energy generation on a commercial solar farm, but Kumar says he can also imagine the model being used more generally by energy grids to predict how much energy people will use. Of course, weather affects everyone.
