Endless studies on the impact of pollution and climate change on low-income families have all come up with the same general result: It is a very real and very serious problem. This proximity brings a greater risk of harm by higher levels of benzene , sulfuric acid , mercury , and other potentially dangerous substances.

“The greatest responsibility for us as a company is dealing with climate change,” says Daimler Trucks as it lobbies the EPA to water down emissions regulations. Indeed, the report makes cheerful reading—for anyone who doesn’t believe in climate change, and thinks EVs are a passing fad.

Comparison of Hg emissions in 2005 and 2010, by selected sector and region. Unintentional emission sectors: Coal burning, ferrous- and non-ferrous (Au, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn) metal production, cement production. Intentional-use sectors: Disposal and incineration of product waste, cremation emissions, chlor-alkali industry.

The least expensive way for the Western US to reduce greenhouse gas emissions enough to help prevent the worst consequences of global warming is to replace coal with renewable and other sources of energy that may include nuclear power, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, researchers.

The vehicles already registered will save two million tonnes of greenhouse emissions over the lifetime of those vehicles. New Zealanders want practical policies that actually reduce emissions and reduce their costs, and the policies in place around EVs are starting to do that job. So, let’s take it,’ said Mr. Gilbert.

US emissions of CO 2 have declined to the level of the mid-1990s. Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Such fuels could lower greenhouse gas emissions from transportation compared with gasoline and diesel fuel.

Adding a metallic film to help reflect radiation skyward makes the emissions—and the cooling—even more effective. A photovoltaic cell can generate electricity from both the absorption and the emission of heat radiation. Just touch a glass window at night and you’ll feel this cooling. That’s indeed possible, though not with silicon.
