The Dirty Truth of Petrol & Diesel Vehicles

Plug In India

And the percentage of clean energy is growing every year as coal and gas plants are being replaced by renewable energy sources. All the lithium mining in the world to date has not done anything like as much damage to the environment as just one major oil spill. In India 39.1% of electricity comes from sources that emit no CO2.
