We all know the primary benefit of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) becoming a mainstream alternative to conventional internal combustion engines is to cut vehicle emissions. Currently power generation in Alberta is thermal-dominated with only four per cent wind power. However, what about the secondary effects?

Natural gas overtakes coal as the largest fuel for US electricity generation. In 2040, natural gas accounts for 35% of total electricity generation, while coal accounts for 32%.

It’s pretty nasty,” says Michael Bender, the international coordinator of the Zero Mercury Working Group (ZMWG). Mercury is otherwise found as a by-product of other processes, such as the burning of coal. Three quarters of that mercury, the researchers suggested, would eventually wind up in the oceans.

That’s why, in my State of the Union Address, I called for a new Clean Energy Standard for America: by 2035, 80 percent of our electricity will come from an array of clean energy sources, from renewables like wind and solar to efficient natural gas to clean coal and nuclear power. —President Obama.

At COP27, he said that even though the first legally binding international treaty on climate change, known as the Paris Agreement , was adopted nearly a decade ago, countries have yet to come to a consensus on how to stop burning fossil fuels, among other issues. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.

It comes from natural sources that continuously regenerate, such as sunlight, wind, water (in motion), and geothermal. Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV. It is much more than that.

A really significant efficiency increase will be realized, and in combination with the new “variable&# alternators from Vancouver, Canada, major wind power efficiencies can be anticipated!

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate.

In July, Trump reportedly asked oil and gas CEOs for a $1 billion campaign donation in exchange for scrapping EV policies, halting wind energy expansion, and derailing other clean-energy policies that the industry opposes.
