A new Conference Board of Canada report finds that Canada is unlikely to achieve an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels by 2050. However, the report also notes that the abatement costs for some of these technologies are much higher than the current cost of carbon. —“A Long Hard Road”.

Imagine a transportation option that has the fun and flexibility of a bike, is a fraction of the price of a car, can park almost anywhere for free, and produces almost zero climate-changing emissions. With fewer moving parts, electric motorcycles can save riders significant time and money. Sounds too good to be true, right?

Likewise, while it is being hotly contested, a major part of Biden’s economic plan included a $174 billion investment in electric vehicles across a broad swath of the industry. Some highlights include an increase in the electric vehicle tax credit that would bring it to $10,000, essentially giving you a 10-grand rebate on an EV purchase.
