As the adoption of electric cars, trucks, and buses gains momentum, many people are wondering if the electric grid is up to the task of charging all of those vehicles. And will the grid be able to handle all of the electric vehicles we will have as we progress toward a highly-electrified transportation future, by say 2040 or 2050?

With proposed federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions by the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring GHG disclosure and new state statutes, including a new Maryland law that requires not only disclosure, but also a mandated reduction in GHG emissions, a greater appreciation of the subject of GHG appears in order.

The cost of electricity generated from solar panels fell by 89 per cent between 2010-2022. Both onshore wind and solar are less than half as expensive as the cheapest fossil-fired electricity sources. Fossil fuel price volatilities continue year-round, and energy prices are unaffordable.

By making it cheaper to find, extract, process, transport and export fossil fuels, subsidies encourage more fossil fuel production, increasing the risk of locking in greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come. Compared to funding for fossil fuels, clean energy stimulus creates nearly three times as many jobs for equivalent investments.

Until 2030 the EU shall emit 55 % less Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG), compared to 1990 levels. According to the Communication, buildings and power generation can make the largest and most cost-efficient emissions reductions, in the order of 60% and more compared to 2015, to reach the 55% greenhouse gas emissions reduction target (p.8).

While it is a heavily polluting fossil fuel that is set to continue declining as a fuel source for US electricity generation over the next decade, coal still accounted for roughly 20 percent of the country’s generation in 2022. Fuel transport – Spring floods can hinder the transportation of fuels like coal.
