There’s a lot of discussion of how the private sector is supporting renewable energy, but it’s almost all about power consumers like Apple and Walmart.

However, one of its most pressing current challenges is reducing the carbon emissions from transportation, a sector that is one of the highest contributors to greenhouse gases. Moreover, electric vehicles don’t produce any harmful emissions, reducing the air pollutants in cities significantly. A great example is a biofuel.

The region does not have the same access to renewable energy or nuclear generation capacity as some other regions, making the path to a decarbonized grid more difficult. And in June, we announced $16 million in funding for the large-scale conversion of carbon dioxide emissions into valuable products.

In 1963, a typical car—which ran on leaded gasoline without pollution control devices— emitted 520 pounds of hydrocarbons, 1,700 pounds of carbon monoxide, and 90 pounds of nitrogen oxide every 10,000 miles traveled. More than 20,000 Americans died prematurely in 2015 from tailpipe emissions, according to a 2019 study.

By contrast, the Obama administration’s proposed carbon regulation of the power sector, the “Clean Power Plan,” proposed emissions reductions of 32 percent — by 2030. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants. Like taxes on food, taxes on energy are regressive.
