The researchers concluded that models of climate change may be underestimating how much water is likely to run off the land and back into the sea as atmospheric chemistry changes. Either way, water resource managers need more accurate runoff estimates to plan better for the changes. Credit: NASA. Click to enlarge.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. As one MIT report found, on average, “a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car.” A straightforward switch can create a substantial positive effect.

The Net-Zero America study that we put out towards the end of 2020 and updated in 2021 was a big effort at Princeton. So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D., Jenkins: We must at least be able to speak to society’s concerns, beyond just “Do the lights stay on?” and “Is your electricity bill reasonably affordable?”
