Climate Grid Mercury Standards 
Green Car Congress
SEPTEMBER 20, 2013
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed Clean Air Act standards to reduce CO 2 emissions from fossil-fuel fired power plants (electric utility generating units, EGUs). The proposed rulemaking establishes separate standards for natural gas and coal plants. In 2012, EPA issued a proposed standard for EGUs.

Furthermore, such changes could help avert the looming climate crisis. It’s now or never if humans hope to prevent the mercury from increasing by 1.5° It’s possible to construct off-grid charging stations, but they come with hassles, such as storing power when the sun doesn’t shine. Can Solar Panels Produce Enough Juice?

Their analysis also found that current renewable portfolio standards (RPS) are insufficient to meet emission reduction targets by 2030 without new policy. Additional policy action throughout Western North America will be required to meet climate targets, Kammen said. —Daniel Kammen.

Schematic diagram of the trade-offs between the implications for regional air quality and global climate change of new policies for management of the atmosphere. The project builds upon the idea that air quality and climate change issues are linked through “one atmosphere”, an approach that demands coordination and multi-tiered approaches.

This entails leveraging re-dispatch over the grid to substitute generation at the most carbon-intensive affected EGUs with generation from less carbon-intensive affected EGUs (including natural gas combined cycle [NGCC] units that are under construction). It includes a wide range of anticipated climate impacts—e.g.,

Health and other non-climate damages by life-cycle component for different combinations of fuels and light-duty automobiles in 2005 (top) and 2030 (bottom). Electric vehicles and grid-dependent (plug-in) hybrid vehicles showed somewhat higher nonclimate damages than many other technologies for both 2005 and 2030. Click to enlarge.

Until then, we also recommend you look at the FAQ at the Climate Progress Blog and the FAQ by Hybrids-Plus , an after-market converter of hybrid cars, for answers to many questions! But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. Whats Vehicle-to-Grid and why would I like it?
