replacing 75% of cars with electric vehicles and increasing renewable energy for every generation—savings could reach as much as $70 billion annually. This study presents a nuanced look at electric vehicles and energy generation and found that electric vehicle adoption not only reduces greenhouse gases but saves lives.

Types of Green Energy. To be classified as green energy , an energy source must be renewable and must not release pollution into the atmosphere. Some kinds of green energy include: Wind Energy: Thought to be the most renewable form of energy, wind energy is suited to high altitudes or undeveloped plains.

Of our "alternative fuel" options, only electricity can truly be made renewably (wind, solar, geothermal, small hydro), with no carbon or other noxious emissions. We need to prioritize clean electricity generation and plug-in battery cars to utilize that energy efficiently. Tags: renewable electricity ethanol.
