Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

About a third of the airborne lead particles collected at two sites in the San Francisco Bay Area came from Asia, a finding that underscores the far-flung impacts of air pollution and heralds a new way to learn more about its journey across vast distances. The isotopic composition of lead varies over large regions of the Earth’s crust.

Right now the dock workers and the people who live near the ports are choking on the worst air pollution anywhere in the area. Meanwhile the plug-in EV RAV-4s they made in 1997-2003 are still working just fine - the ones they didn’t crush and actually allowed people to buy. This driver told the press he loves his electric truck.

I mean, when the electricity it uses is produces, pollution still happens, just not "right from your car"? That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. excluding coal power in china.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history. I got beaten down a number of times."
