“Electric cars will not save the climate. This is not to imply in any way that electric vehicles are worthless. Transportation accounts for only 27 percent of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the U.S.; It is completely wrong,” Fatih Birol , Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), has stated.

All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas power. In the journal Joule , Harvard researchers report the most accurate modelling yet of how increasing wind power would affect climate.

Cutting the amount of short-lived, climate-warming emissions such as soot and methane won’t limit global warming as much as previous studies have suggested, according to a new study from the Joint Global Change Research Institute in College Park, Md., More realistic emission reductions would likely provide an even smaller climate benefit.

However, although the state has made considerable progress decoupling economic growth from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the rate of emissions decline appears to be slowing, due in part to a spike in transportation emissions attributed to an increase from light-duty vehicles. But the effects of these efforts seem to be reaching a plateau.

Canada recently released the first details of its flagship policy to achieve one of its most ambitious climate goals to date — by 2035, every new car sold in the country must be emissions-free. of new cars sold in Canada were electric. In comparison, EVs comprised 19% of new car sales in the UK. In 2021, only 5.6%
