Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy and EV Modern Life

Setec Powerr

Current versions of renewable energy such as solar cells and windmills do far less damage to the environment than oil rigs, fracking, and strip mining, but they do damage the environment. A critical issue in decarbonization will also be the role of the electrical grid itself. We need off-grid and on-grid solutions.

MITEI releases report on Electrification of the Transportation System

Green Car Congress

low cost is only achieved in large-volume, highly automated factories. The implications go well beyond the transportation system itself; for example, large-scale deployment of a hierarchy of personal and public urban electric transportation devices can sufficiently influence the environment (e.g., —Deutch and Moniz.
