Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions.

A Tesla Megapack battery system has officially turned on to replace Hawaii’s very last coal power plant. In early 2022, we reported that Tesla is deploying Megapacks at a new energy storage project that will replace Hawaii’s last remaining coal plant. It will enable better use of the state’s increasing renewable energy.

And while renewable power generation technologies like solar and wind were not nearly powerful enough, a series of 124 Megapacks were. With a combined capacity of 400MWh, locals now have access to clean energy whenever they need it, not just when the wind blows, or the sun shines.

These companies have sunk costs invested in coal, gas and oil plants and are content in maximizing the return on these investments. The market would focus, consolidate and find some very innovative ways to produce low-cost clean energy. Another misconception is that the USA public will not tolerate a premium for clean electricity.

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.

My wife, Zan, and I were recently on the Big Island, Hawaii, and while there we toured the state’s only geothermal plant. Hawaii's 30 megawatt geothermal control room. Another 5% comes from wind and 5% from hydro. The rest of Hawaii’s electricity is generated by burning oil. URL: [link]. By JOHN MARKOFF.
