As the world continues to face climate change challenges, it is becoming increasingly critical that we transition to more sustainable energy sources. Renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, is a more environmentally friendly and cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Why is Smart EV Charging Important?

Even if you have 100 percent capture from the capture equipment, it is still worse, from a social cost perspective, than replacing a coal or gas plant with a wind farm because carbon capture never reduces air pollution and always has a capture equipment cost. Only when wind replaced coal itself did social costs decrease.
