The spatially (12 km grids) and temporally explicit LCI not only provides the level of detail necessary to perform detailed LCIA (life cycle impact assessment) of air pollutant emissions, it also gives information on spatial and temporal trends that can be useful in policy making and regulation, the authors suggest. —Tessum et al.

More than three-quarters of HFC emissions in California come from the use of refrigerants in the commercial, industrial, residential, and transportation sectors. Practical solutions must be developed and implemented to overcome barriers to waste gas utilization for pipeline injection and grid interconnection.

Previously, modelers have attempted to account for urban aerosol emissions by using a correction factor, which diluted total aerosol emissions across global model grid cells. This dilution method, however, does not capture the heterogeneity of urban and non-urban areas within each grid cell.

The basic question addressed, which appears on the study homepage (epri-reports.org) is this: How would air quality and greenhouse gas emissions be affected if significant numbers of Americans drove cars that were fueled by the power grid? And the grid is getting cleaner and more renewable every year.

The damages the committee was able to quantify were an estimated $120 billion in the US in 2005, a number that reflects primarily health damages from air pollution associated with electricity generation and motor vehicle transportation. Transportation, which today relies almost exclusively on oil, accounts for nearly 30% of US energy demand.

Once weve consolidated everything to depend on the grid, we can clean up everything by cleaning up the grid. Once electric cars are more common, demand for electricity will rise, and electricity producers will have to look at big generators such as dams, nuclear stations or decentralised wind turbines that feed in to the grid.
