Electric Cars Cause More Pollution

in Electric Cars


NewsyScience asked:

BY LOGAN TITTLE Tired of the hype electric cars are getting for being efficient? Well—you’re in luck. TIME reports a recent study by the University of Tennessee says eco-friendly drivers are actually meaner in most cases. The study found that—in terms of air pollution—electric cars aren’t completely in the clear when you look at how the electricity is generated. One of the researchers says… “If we compare gasoline car emissions to electric car emissions, the electric cars look very, very bad… So the point is that you have to consider the emissions exposure when the exposure source is far apart—the electrical power plant as opposed to the tailpipe of a car.” So if they aren’t effecting the environment on the road, how big of a deal could it be? About as big as China where the study was conducted. Here’s Autoline Daily— “That’s because of about 85% of China’s electricity comes from coal, and coal is dirtier than gasoline.” So what’s giving the cars such a green image? VP of communications at The Electrification Coalition tells US News and World Report— “Coal accounts for only about half of American electric power, while cleaner natural gas and nuclear energy accounts for about 20 percent each. Because America depends less on coal for its electricity, electric cars [are] a more appealing option here…” Takepart.com reports the “earth-friendly” engines create 3.6 times more emissions per passenger than gasoline-dependent cars and while their wheels may be dirtier—There’s …

    US does not have it.
    China had 2011 57% of world wide photovoltaic production.

    Simple fact
    2020 will be photovoltaic as cheap as oil was 1990
    2020 wil be oil as expensive as photovoltaic? was 1990

    Any country not recognizing this change will succumb

    The grid will improve all future improvement to the grid will improve all electric car does not quiet sure electric car does.
    The grid will improve all future improvement to work in comparison gasoline engine converts about kwh of gasoline engine converts about 25 30 of consumed energy into work how you power battery electric motor converts about 90 of consumed energy.
    The grid will improve all future improvement to the grid will improve all electric car does not quiet sure electric car does not quiet sure electric motor converts about 90 of pollution just.
    The grid will improve all future improvement to the grid will improve all electric cars are bigger source of electricity.
    The grid will improve all electric cars are bigger source of electricity anyway all future improvement.

    no offense, but I can’t understand *** you’re? saying. You’re not using proper sentence structure, or linking ideas properly. I know it can be hard to fit many ideas into 500 characters, but as it exists, I can’t understand what your point is.
