EUs Green Deal threatens 40% of Romanian electricity production

January 27, 2020 June 18, 2022

In December, the European Union announced the European Green New Deal that is intended to greatly speed up the EU’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The new goal is for Europe to become Climate Neutral (no net greenhouse gas emissions) by 2050, and to reduce emissions by 55% by…

Proposed law weakens pollution control laws, prevents researchers looking for Dieselgate-like problems

October 16, 2015 October 16, 2015

A draft bill (embedded below) being prepared in the US House Energy and Commerce Committee would increase the penalties for “hacking” cars, and gift automakers with an easy “out” on emissions control regulations.   The bill focuses on reforms at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and while it contains a…

BMW has no Dieselgate, while VW skimped on emissions control

Earlier we saw a report from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) who showed the Dieselgate misbehavior affects not just Volkswagen/Audi 2.0 liter TDI Diesels, but cars from other manufacturers, even ones running on gasoline.  That report has gained enough attention that BMW had to respond, since one of its vehicles was…

Fuel source matters – fuel cell vehicles dirtier than gasoline, so why are FCEV’s getting so much attention?

Fuel cell’s seem like this magic technology – you pour in a clean fuel (hydrogen and oxygen) and out comes clean energy (electricity) and water.  Make a fuel cell big enough to power a car, or truck, and you’ve got a “clean” vehicle that can go a few hundred miles…

EU’s CO2 reduction targets, supercredits for electric cars, and the circular firing squad phenomenon

March 25, 2013 April 13, 2015

How do we calculate the average greenhouse gas emissions of a vehicle fleet?  The European Union has legislated a target of an average 95 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometer by 2020.  Clearly when an automaker sells an electric car, that car lowers the automakers fleet average environmental footprint. …

Clean electric cars and the supposed dirty secret being used to sow Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD)

March 15, 2013 March 31, 2015

Earlier this week Climate Change Skeptic Bjorn Lomborg wrote an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal that’s one of these bash-the-electric-cars hit pieces that come along every so often.  The piece has a number of holes in it, and in a TorqueNews piece I went over a response published…
