The ultimate goal is to reduce greenhouse gas and smog-causing emissions by transforming the transportation sector over the next 11 years. This will include working with the automobile manufacturers and dealers to ensure that all plug-in electric vehicle models are available for sale and aggressively marketed in all MOU states.

The bill also modifies the Clean Air Act to require the development of greenhouse gas emissions standards for all other mobile sources—e.g., Within three years of enactment, the EPA would need to determine the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of all transportation fuels and determine the fuel emission baseline.

Well-to-wheels greenhouse gas emissions in 2020. A well-to-wheels analysis by DOE found that using hydrogen from natural gas—currently the primary production pathway—fuel cell vehicles emit 63% fewer GHGs than today’s gasoline vehicles, and 37% fewer GHGs than natural gas vehicles. Source: DOE. Production.

Todays hybrids have small battery packs and cannot be recharged from the utility grid system. Night time electric power is available from many renewable resources therefore reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Presently there are no plug-in electric hybrid vehicles offered by any major car company in the U.S.
