While oil will remain the most widely used fuel, overall energy demand will be reshaped by a continued shift toward less-carbon-intensive energy source as well as steep improvements in energy efficiency in areas such as transportation, where the expanded use of advanced and hybrid vehicles will help push average new-car fuel economy to 48 mpg (4.9
Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. At that rate, the cost to operate an electric vehicle is 2 cents per mile. Unfortunately, they don’t.

It includes a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, an electric water pump, a low-friction distribution chain, an intake manifold made of a composite material and a compact exhaust manifold. l/100 (62 mpg US) for the 1.4
gas engine is combined with two motor-generators through a planetary-type continuously variable transmission. The engine, working in concert with the electric motor (MG2), assures responsive performance, while exemplary energy efficiency is achieved by using both electric motors (MG1 and MG2) to charge a lithium-ion battery.
mpg (19.26 The SuperTruck’s AC system runs entirely off the electricity powered by the hybrid system. The basic shape originated as a 3D computer model, which was carefully honed by aerodynamicists using digital wind. We are thrilled with the positive results, and are honored to have been part of the program. Aerodynamics.
Across OECD nations, the Outlook assumes the implied cost of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will reach about $80 per tonne in 2040. Wind, solar and biofuels are expected to be the fastest-growing energy sources, increasing about 6% a year on average through 2040, when they will be approaching 4% of global energy demand.
In Germany, renewable electricity generation will be 35 percent by 2020, and 50 percent by 2050. mpg by 2016. Why then do we not have the same clarity of goal for the electricity generating industry here in the USA? The same can be said for the electricity companies that generate power in the USA.
