Vehicle fleets across the United States are transitioning from internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric vehicles, and that includes school bus fleets. This number includes buses that have been awarded, ordered, delivered, or are already in operation. Eliminating ICE buses will go a long way toward making schools healthier for students.

Earlier this month, the Colorado Energy Office led an agreement among 29 large fleet owners including local governments, private sector companies, other public entities and members of the natural gas industry. These organizations committed to help accelerate the deployment of NGVs and accompanying fueling station infrastructure.

For hospitals and medical centers with an ambulatory or EMS fleet, switching from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs could save as much as 75% in fleet maintenance costs. Similarly, an IBM Institute for Business Value study found that 67% of respondents preferred to apply for jobs at companies with sustainable endeavors.

The main obstacles will be regulatory and, especially, environmental: Supersonic airliners could be hugely more polluting than their subsonic counterparts. Despite strong support from the FAA, the airline industry, and aerospace companies, the U.S. Are we nevertheless on the cusp of a new, golden age of high-speed commercial aviation?

Through a combination of state and federal regulations, incentive funding, binding agreements and voluntary actions by the railroad companies, California will see dramatic reductions in their airborne emissions, between 50-80%, depending on the individual rail yard, as early as 2015. NO x helps create ground-level ozone, or smog.

But rather than giving into despair, some engineers, policymakers, and activists are pursuing a novel strategy. There is an exception to that in the category of what they call super pollutants, the very powerful but shorter-lived gases and chemicals that come from things like fertilizer production, methane. They also mix with clouds.
