The study, which also involved the University of East Anglia (UK) and other global institutions, is part of the annual carbon budget update by the Global Carbon Project. Similar figures apply to USA, Japan, France, Germany, and most other industrialized nations. below the record 2008 figures. For example, UK emissions were 8.6%

Right now the world is looking at well over a 2 degree rise in temperatures from the pre-industrial age. Improving the efficiency of industrial and transportation combustion processes can reduce these gases. A recent study reported that ozone’s damage to crop yields in 2000 resulted in an economic loss of $14-26 billion annually.

The well-to-retail pump part of the emissions (before vehicle use) accounts for some 20-30% of the total life-cycle GHG emissions, the company says. Over the past decade, production from oil sands more than doubled from 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2000 to 1.35 times larger than the average fuel consumed in the United States.

It’s also got a state of the art in-wall vacuuming system but it’s got no solar panels or solar hot water because that wasn’t part of the builders vision for their “dream house.&#. I would have thought we would be beyond that point and further along in understanding the solar industry, but apparently I’m wrong.

One of the most vexing social challenges confronting the transition to EVs at scale is dealing with the effects that governmental EV transition policies will have on millions of jobs across a wide swath of industries. President Biden says his EV policies will result in “one million new jobs in the American automobile industry.

Many have set renewable portfolio standards (RPSs), mandating that renewables make up a certain part of the power grid. In the US, RPSs have accounted for nearly half of the country's renewable energy growth since 2000. Many US states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico already have their own goals.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. cheaper (frame, electric motors, battery), lasts longer (less moving parts = less to break and maintain) and just a greater win, more future compatible too. because most of GMs profits comes from after market parts.
