DOE is seeking to facilitate the market penetration of hydrogen and fuel cell products through higher volume purchases (e.g., Integrated renewable hydrogen systems and public-private community-based partnerships. Reducing the projected cost of hydrogen production using renewable-based technologies—e.g.,

Knowing how many net jobs the transition to EVs and related renewable energy will create, change or eliminate—and over what time period—is critical to determining the impacts of governmental policies and whether they need revision. The impact of EVs on auto manufacturing and supplier jobs is harder to assess.

SK purchased DuPont's silicon carbide business in 2020 for $450 million and subsequently said it would invest more than $300 million to quadruple its Michigan footprint with a 250,000-square-foot plant in Bay City.

In Kansas, the average customer paid $4 per month on their utility bill for transmission costs 10 years ago, but that has climbed to $20 per month today, and is likely to go higher as billions are spent on new transmission lines to support renewable energy.

Most new capacity is now combined cycle natural gas or renewable (almost entirely wind). In the long-term, Duvall said, EPRI sees about a 500 million ton CO 2 per year reduction for auto industry “ almost entirely due to replacement of gasoline with lower carbon electricity.”.

New Zealand is committed to generating electricity from renewable sources, making producing electricity for our growing number of electric vehicles increasingly more efficient than most other countries. New Zealand has the third highest rate of renewable energy as a portion of primary supply in the OECD (after Norway and Iceland).

France’s auto industry is probably the largest Western auto industry that goes completely under the radar in the US. And these EVs are powered mostly by renewable energy. Personally we will likely make our first outright purchase of an EV this year, after serially leasing 4.5 Looking at you Tesla.

Ill never purchase one again, no matter what the mpgs. If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal. guess who GM sold the NIHM auto-battery patents too.
