The Importance of Electrifying Municipal Vehicles City Cleanup Can Begin on Wheels Electrifying police cars, street sweepers, refuse trucks and other municipal vehicles does more than just help the environment—it also saves money and makes urban areas a safer, more peaceful place to live. Here are the main reasons cities are switching to EVs.

This isn’t just my take — studies conducted by organizations like the American Lung Association have consistently demonstrated that diesel exhaust emissions contribute to air pollution, exacerbating respiratory illnesses and posing serious health risks to urban populations, particularly children and the elderly. Doctors want you in EVs.

The past two years, after all, required the State Office of the Environment to not only inspect and approve the factory itself, but also the entire industrial area with several large-scale facilities. In times of climate crisis, the availability of water will play an increasingly important role for future developments and settlements.

However, climate models to date have mischaracterized the effects of soot in the atmosphere, according to Jacobson, director of Stanford’s Atmosphere/Energy Program. We have to start taking its effects into account in planning our mitigation efforts and the sooner we start making changes, the better. Jacobson at Stanford University.

Soot emissions are second only to carbon dioxide in promoting global warming, but its effects have been underestimated in previous climate models. Consequently, soot’s effect on climate change has not been adequately addressed in national and international global warming legislation.
