Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

Many of you also mentioned how EVs are greener because they don’t pollute with tailpipe emissions. of Energy to Yale and MIT , that EVs are better for the environment from cradle to grave.) Eliminating vehicle emissions results in improved air quality, which means better health outcomes and a slowing of climate change.

But these ships have been in short supply in recent years, with older vessels being retired and new ship orders down due to both the 2008 financial crisis and the industry upgrade to less-polluting fuels, reports MIT Technology Review. So moving EVs all over the world certainly comes at a price, environmentally, of course.
