While the electricity is generated from fossil fuels is undoubtedly an important factor in air pollution, there is only one seconds behind low-emission vehicles. In the U.S., CO2 emissions from cars and trucks 314 million tonnes in 2002 has been reached. (Emissions continue to rise steadily in the five years preceding the publication of this book).

With a view to producing a fairly typical example of the ratio of emissions for motor vehicle emissions from electricity generation in coal-fired power plants in 1996, produced Travis County, United States, 1,700 tons of NOx per year, while cars vehicles contributed 30 000 tonnes.

It seems that our love for cars, the most important factor in the possible loss of the human race be. Wherever one travels in the industrialized world, congestion on the roads and highways is frightening to. When viewed from several thousand feet, motor vehicles and road systems in our major cities, how incredibly busy ants’ nests that we are all here and there what that crisscross each other in search of crazy ways of moving place to place.

The reach of the soon-to-be-available-by your electric car is impressive. Just to name a few, there is the Tesla Roadster, designed as a luxury sports car for two exotic mph, 250 miles, top speed of 125 and a ticket price of 109,000. Then there are the General Motors Tesla Model S, 300 miles, five people, four-door sedan, top speed – 120 mph, driving price $ 57,400. The Th! NK city described as “a pint size urban toughie” is a two or four seats, two doors mph with a top speed of 68, the price is not yet available. This car is ideal for the city with a crowded parking lot or non-existent and the speed of 15 to 20 mph in rush hour, which seems to be all day. If the right price, this car would be perfect for my teenage son who has just received his license and has a tendency to go too fast. Next comes the iMiev Mitsubishi, is a five-passenger, four-door model, the range of 100 miles, top speed of 80 miles per hour and at a price of $ 46, 500

These cars are 100% free and gas by 2012 there will be more than a dozen electric vehicles in show rooms and rental fleets are. It appears that there be a car to different tastes, needs and budget. These cars are a step in the right direction because they are emission-free! Here’s the rub. The cars are powered by electricity probably still won from fossil fuels. Therefore, the electric car with electricity generated from fossil fuels, driven indirectly adds to air pollution, but less than for conventional vehicles. Electric cars could completely green when it should be driven by electricity from solar or wind energy. I suspect that many people like to use solar or wind energy, but these forms of energy are still expensive. Read the rest of this entry »
