Advances in technologies for extracting oil and gas from shale formations have dramatically increased production in the United States. If natural gas is abundant and less expensive, it will encourage greater natural gas consumption and less consumption of fuels such as coal, renewables and nuclear power.

Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Such fuels could lower greenhouse gas emissions from transportation compared with gasoline and diesel fuel.

As one of the fastest growing electricity sources in the United States, wind can be expected to meet a large proportion of the renewable portfolio standards. At these times other load is likely to be low, and coal plants would likely need to be cycled, adding costs and emissions that could be saved with smart charging of PEVs.

In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%. At least for the near term, that would entail facilitating energy demand reduction and displacement of some coal generation with natural gas. Source: IEA.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. It is much more than that. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.

A coordinated effort by US policy makers is all that is preventing this happening, the report states.
