Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. This was the first time the average emissions increased since the monitoring started in 2010. g CO 2 /km) since 2012.

The cost-effectiveness of measures to address climate change is enhanced through a multisector perspective. Primary energy sources in model include fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas, and coal); non-renewable non-fossil sources (nuclear); and renewable sources (hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass).

In Alberta, for example, CO 2 emissions from coal-fired electric power exceed emissions from oil sands and the costs of reducing emissions from coal electricity are lower. Yet, coal-fired emissions in Alberta receive relatively little attention from environmental organizations and the public. Why then the focus on oil sands?

Reducing current anthropogenic sources is therefore vital to reduce the amount of mercury that is cycling in the environment.

If I was in the actual city of Los Angeles, a lot more of my electricity would be made from Killer Coal and a lot less from clean, renewables.
