While its increased burning of coal was known to exacerbate mercury emissions and air pollution, the MIT-led team estimates that Asia produces more than double the mercury emissions previously estimated. Given the pollution in China and India and increased use of coal, it does make sense. It was higher than we expected.

The basic idea behind ILUC is that biofuels use crops that might otherwise go to traditional uses, such as animal feed. Indirect effects analysis concludes that a new coal-burning power plant will supply the lost electricity, with a huge resulting GHG release. The polluter does not pay. Talk about shoddy bookkeeping.

Our model will give an idea of the big picture savings, and whether there are incentives that can be provided to make sure the savings are captured. For example, are the benefits of fuel cells the same in Washington state, which gets much of its power from hydroelectricity, as in West Virginia, which is dominated by coal?

There is no pollution to speak of with these plants. Oil burning is one of the single biggest sources of pollution coming from the whole state.

With these developing nations having relatively small carbon footprints and millions of people in deep poverty, they can argue the need to continue to pollute while they improve the lives of their citizens.

Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. I love the idea of powering my car from solar power.
