And maybe the problem— again, it’s a dark matter problem, not so much the car at the center, but this sort of infrastructure— just talk a little bit about Bob’s book, which is, by the way, free to download, and we’ll have the link in the show notes. I think maybe because the cover was a car perched at the top of a giant mountain of coal.

Here are some of the key advantages of electric vehicles: Environmental Benefits: EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, meaning they do not release pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and other harmful gases into the atmosphere. 10 Are EVs eco-friendly since we generate electricity from coal?

Shifting from nuclear to other types of power plants could affect the reliability of the electricity supply, electricity costs, air pollution, carbon emissions, and the reliance on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, the researchers said. The calculated cost of generation with the new mix of plants was a lower bound.

So let me get this straight - while those of us who are trying to lead greener lives, have been cutting our carbon footprints and working with our cities, states and the rest of the USA to help them do likewise, Killer Coal has been playing us for chumps and wiping out all our efforts every single second of every day.

Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal. Well, the cheapest source is from steam reformed fossil fuels, and that process produces CO2, especially when that fossil fuel is coal.

One way or another, Sokol says, energy companies will need to produce more energy while emitting less carbon dioxide. tons of carbon dioxide. Electric cars will be one answer. They generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions than cars that burn gasoline, and they have lower fuel costs, even when oil is cheap.
