Study finds global rivers and streams emitting 3x IPCC estimates of the GHG N2O

Green Car Congress

That’s three times the amount estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. This multi-site experiment clearly establishes streams and rivers as important sources of nitrous oxide.

Study: Reducing Future Transportation CO2 Emissions to Kyoto Protocol Levels Will Require Combination of Vehicle Technology and Smart Growth

Green Car Congress

Percent change in median CO2 by scenario relative to 2000. A Georgia Tech City and Regional Planning study on climate change concludes that “smart growth” combined with the use of hybrid vehicle technology could reduce cities’ carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions significantly by 2050.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

And there are states like Georgia where public interveners don’t have any right to discovery. Solar panels convert solar radiation to power linearly, in proportion to the amount of sunlight. But wind turbines convert wind to power at the wind speed cubed. And Oregon is pretty transparent.
