Top 5 Climate Reasons To Reduce Driving, Even With Electric Vehicles

Legal Planet

And if it’s large-scale solar or wind facilities, they come with their own energy inputs to manufacture, as well as land use impacts to deploy. Using that land for electricity and not food production, carbon sequestration, or open space comes with significant climate costs.
