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. Cars and trucks are a lot cleaner than when I was growing up.

Eight percent of those deaths were attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning. Without electricity or heat, some people apparently turned to portable generators, which can fill a home with carbon monoxide exhaust. In 2021, Winter Storm Uri killed at least 246 Texans.

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. As a first step to getting a better sense of where the utility industry is going, we accumulated some basic data about the top ten utilities by market value. (4) Dominion Energy.

This refers to any fuel produced from plants, algae, or animal waste, making it an eco-friendly and readily available source of renewable energy. These biofuels also produce fewer air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, air toxics, and sulphur dioxide, among others. A great example is a biofuel.

Between 1980 and 2018, US carbon monoxide levels decreased by 83 percent, lead by 99 percent, nitrogen dioxide by 61 percent, ozone by 31 percent, and sulfur dioxide by 91 percent. Subsidies and mandates for renewables result in higher electricity prices and the net transfer of wealth from lower to upper income citizens.
