1 The International Energy Agency predicts that by 2030, 125 million electric vehicles will be owned around the world. In the US, 14 new models of electric trucks and SUVs are expected to launch this year, which automakers say could appeal more to American consumers than the smaller electric vehicles seen elsewhere.
Biden has also pledged to convert the entire federal government s fleet (around 650,000 vehicles) to electric, and has promised that every US-made bus will be battery-powered by 2030.
But just how green are they?
Electric cars are undoubtedly cleaner than fossil fuel run cars. Although more energy is required to make electric vehicles than gas-powered, you still save more energy in the long run. The deficit is paid off quickly and even, when with no alternative, the electricity used to charge the vehicles is driven by fossil fuels, they are still greener.

Chartwell Marine, headquartered in the United Kingdom, oversaw the vessel’s construction despite travel restrictions from the coronavirus pandemic. The company used data-driven analytics to foster an open and collaborative process with Atlantic Wind Transfers and US commercial boat builder Blount Boats & Shipyard in Rhode Island.
With several gigawatts of offshore wind capacity to be installed the next few years, the US offshore wind sector must rapidly build its maritime supply chain to ensure new projects can be constructed, operated and maintained effectively. Atlantic Wind Transfers selected the Chartwell Marine design, which can keep pac

Ingeteam has designed its new INGECON SUN FSK power station aimed at large-scale solar plants and battery energy storage systems, since its nominal power allows it to reach 7.2 MW of medium-voltage output power. INGECON SUN FSK power station
This new design has been thought to make installation and connection work in the field as easy as possible. For this reason, it is supplied with all the elements previously connected at the factory. In addition, this solution can be transported both by land and by sea, since it can be placed directly on the trailer of a truck or inside a 40-foot container, allowing it to be installed anywhere in the world.
Thursday, 11 March 2021 In February, those living in Texas suffered from a harsh winter storm. Freezing temperatures
well below the average caused people to either travel for warmth or find other ways to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature. Pixabay
Along with the frigid weather, power outages swept across the state as well. As the storm passed through, Texans were forced to turn up their heat. With so many people turning on their heating systems at once, the energy demand was higher than ever, and the electric grid could not handle it. Therefore, millions of Texans found themselves suddenly without heat and power.
