renewable energy system displacing almost all fossil
fuels.

As both the House and the Senate grapple with proposed carbon - cutting measures — carbon taxes and «cap - and - trade» schemes
for big CO2 emitters such as coal - fired power plants; increased Corporate Average
Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards
for cars, SUVs, and trucks; and mandatory set - asides
for clean
renewable energy in the mix of energy generation options — emissions from aircraft seem, at least
for the time being, to have gone over the heads of most policymakers engaged in the rush to cut carbon emissions.
Lan Marie Nguyen Berg, Vice Mayor
for Environment and Transport of Oslo, Norway, explained how transport - related incentives can deliver on 100 percent
renewable targets: the city is raising tolls on fossil
fuel cars and putting money raised into public transport.
The team looked at the impact of EU policies
for renewable energy, landfill gas, nitrous oxide emissions from industry, combined heat - power generation (CHP), efficiency improvements in the built environment, common agricultural policies, F - gases, passenger

They're designed to be both sun shades
for your
car, and an easy way to generate
renewable energy; as soon as plug - in hybrid
cars and / or electric
cars are more commonplace, they'll add a third function as a
fueling station
for those
cars.
The blame goes mostly to national economy and industry ministers, who constantly block any attempts to introduce mandatory targets
for renewable energies, energy efficiency rules or
fuel consumption standards
for cars.»
