It is published yearly by the EEA to take stock of the EU’s and Member States’ progress in meeting their climate and energy targets, which includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% compared to 1990 levels by 2020 and at least 40% by 2030. The rise is mostly due to the increase of oil consumption from road transport.

Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. The Natural Gas Initiative has begun funding early stage, exploratory research, following a “seed grant” model used by Stanford’s Precourt Institute for Energy, one of NGI’s hosting organizations.

Verification of the emission reduction or carbon sequestration is critical in efforts to mitigate climate change. One question is who will be responsible for verifying changes in carbon, which raises questions about the role of a regulatory agency for accrediting claimed changes in carbon levels from an activity.

Climate change is being driven by the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal. You can even claim a government grant towards installing your own charging point at home. So, if you drive in London this is why you should be considering an EV. Great range. Most modern EVs have a range of more than 150 miles.

One key issue that the Waxman-Markey discussion draft does not address is how to allocate the tradable emission allowances that restrict the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from electric utilities, oil companies, and other sources. The Chairmen say this issue will be addressed through discussions among Committee members.

Unfortunately for me and Deb, we’re living in the alternative universe where the dirty energy mafia runs things, the one where they stole the election from Al Gore and made a former oil company man the President. The way we did it was through financial sacrifice -which as you may know is no longer voluntary.

By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, EVs help to mitigate climate change and improve air quality. Additionally, EVs have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance since they don’t have components like oil filters, spark plugs, and timing belts that need regular servicing or replacement.

And I wasn’t interested in selling solar based on, “Hey it prevents oil,” you know. THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR: $3 A WATT, CHEAPER THAN COAL. And at sub $3 you’re cheaper than coal. And people have no idea what’s coming with coal and what that’s going to cost them in electric bills. It was just too much of a nexus for me.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. We also mined or extracted and burned coal and oil, releasing millions of years of stored solar energy indiscriminately, altering Earth’s climate.

Electric cars are part of the electrification of the citys transit system -- along with trackless trolleys, streetcars and light rail -- helping lessen dependence on foreign oil and reduce pollution, Mayor Greg Nickels said. If we do things the wrong way, thats going to mean building more power plants, more dirty coal plants," he said.
