Sentences with phrase «gases than gasoline cars»

California Air Resources Board studies show that battery electric vehicles emit at least 67 % lower greenhouse gases than gasoline cars — even more assuming renewables.

Not exact matches

It used to be cheaper at the pump than gasoline, which was a selling point for diesel cars, but in the United States, its price is currently above the price for gas.

FUEL ECONOMY - Diesels can get up to 30 percent more miles per gallon of fuel than similar gas powered cars and can be more economical than gasoline - electric hybrids.

On a life - cycle basis, FCVs running on hydrogen derived from steam - reforming natural gas — currently the most affordable way of making hydrogen — produce less than half the greenhouse gas emissions of a gasoline - powered car.

Experts on greenhouse - gas emissions tell me that every time my car burns a gallon of gasoline, I am putting more than 25 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as well as a smaller amount of methane, nitrous oxide, and various other toxic gases.

As for the fuel, more than 45 million metric tons (45 billion kilograms) of the lightweight gas is produced every year as part of making fertilizer, chemicals and the gasoline used to power cars today.

They concluded that we'd lower greenhouse gas emissions more by driving gasoline / electric hybrid cars than by driving fuel cell cars run on hydrogen from coal.

And yet, in terms of greenhouse - gas emissions, grid - charged cars are still cleaner than their gasoline - powered counterparts, and that's particularly true in California, where we rely largely on natural gas to make electricity.

Pro-diesel carmakers emphasize that diesel cars get 20 percent to 40 percent better gas mileage than gasoline equivalents, have better low - end torque and aren't a pain to sit behind in traffic anymore.

The Civic is also somewhat simpler than the Toyota Prius, in that the Civic Hybrid can't move on electrical power alone, and the Prius can — with the Civic, the electric motor is there to help out the 1.3 - liter four - cylinder gas engine, but the gas engine is running if the car is moving, though the gasoline supply can be cut off in certain «steady - state cruising» situations.

Having said that, the current generation of mainstream hybrid cars (e.g. the Prius) and the newer pluggable - hybrids (e.g. the Volt) do get more than «a little bit better» gas mileage than conventional gasoline - fueled cars and are increasingly affordable.

And yet, in terms of greenhouse - gas emissions, grid - charged cars are still cleaner than their gasoline - powered counterparts, and that's particularly true in California, where we rely largely on natural gas to make electricity.

Even with today's power plants emitting greenhouse gases, the overall levels would be reduced because the entire process of moving a car one mile is more efficient using electricity than producing gasoline and burning it in a car's engine.

Operating cost for electric cars is $ 0.50 to $ 0.75 per mile versus $ 0.10 for gasoline powered cars once battery replacement costs are included By 2020, Chinese PER CAPITA emissions will be higher than America's Does not believe that the 0.6 degree temperature rise to date is the West's «fault,» but does believe that China is the future problem Whatever U.S. does about emissions reduction and what people do as individuals is totally trivial in face of the fact that China is adding huge amounts of coal fired generating capacity The most meaningful emissions reduction strategy today would be to convert China from coal to natural gas The claim that there are more frequent or more intense hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of AGW is not scientifically supported We can reduce emissions, but it is important that we do the RIGHT things (and NOT the WRONG ones) Not worried about «peak oil;» coal can be converted to liquid fuel

I think it's worth noting that even running on pure coal - electricty, a plug - in hybrid electric today would have much lower emissions of greenhouse gasses than the average new car today running on gasoline, and about the same emissions as a regular hybrid.

In the Northeast and Northwest, where a bigger portion of the power is produced with nuclear reactors, hydroelectric dams, natural gas - fired power plants and wind farms, an electric car will produce 76 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than a typical gasoline - powered car and 56 percent fewer emissions than a hybrid.

Electric cars have long been better than gasoline - powered cars in many ways — they're a few times more efficient; they offer instant torque (excellent initial acceleration that's a lot of fun and very useful); they're much more convenient (plug in when you get home and never have to go to the gas station!)

Combined with battery swapping stations AND charging pods in every street, this combination will insure that electric car drivers will go to the battery swapping stations less often than gasoline car drivers go to gas stations.

Gas - electric hybrid cars with an enhanced battery and a plug - in capacity, combined with investment in wind farms feeding cheap electricity into the grid, permit most daily driving to be done with electricity, and at a cost equivalent of less than $ 1 - a-gallon gasoline.

There are more than 100,000 gas stations in the United States which fill cars up with 365 million gallons of gasoline per day.

On the one hand, the many older gasoline cars still on the road — as well as the new gas cars being sold likely have much higher emissions than their official figures — suggest there's a long, long way to go before 85 grams becomes the norm across all cars in Norway.
