Clean Break :: Preparing for a car-2-grid world - 0 views

  • Okay, maybe the idea of having plug-in hybrids and electric cars that interact with the grid is far off in the future. But we all have to admit that it's an attractive future. It means as the grid gets cleaner, so do vehicle emissions. It means millions of cars collectively act as a huge battery storage system, drawing power when it's cheap and selling it back to the grid at a premium.

Green Car Congress: EPRI-NRDC Studies Highlight GHG and Air Quality Benefits of Plug-in... - 0 views

  • Widespread adoption of PHEVs could reduce GHG emissions from vehicles by more than 450 million metric tons annually in 2050—equivalent to removing 82.5 million passenger cars from the road. Cumulative GHG emissions reductions from 2010 to 2050 could reach 10.3 billion metric tons under the most aggressive scenarios for the development of a lower-carbon electrical infrastructure and PHEV penetration.

Alternative Fuels: A Primer - 0 views

  • Alternative fuels aren't a perfect alternative to gasoline. They have less energy than gas and cost more; it's improbable that production will be ramped up for more than a fraction of America's vehicles; they have corrosive effects on normal fuel systems; and it's not certain we'll get the technology to work soon.
