...Also, if you use the electric vehicle's or hybrid's electric-only mode, the miles per gallon are "infinite or have no meaning since no gas is being consumed," according to Anthony Eggert of California's ARB. Of course, it takes oil, coal, nuclear, wind or hydro power to create the energy electric cars are powered on, so even eco saints don't get off free. To complicate matters further, if you want a hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered vehicle, like a Honda FCX Clarity, you will need to measure mileage in m.p.k., or miles per kilograms of hydrogen...
...recent years, it's still more expensive than most electricity from coal or natural gas. And while Obama the candidate wanted renewables to reach 25% of the U.S. energy mix by 2025, we're a long way from that goal (less than 3% of our power comes from non-hydro renewables), and there's growing doubt that even Obama's greener policies can bring us there. The cap-and-trade bill circulating in Congress contains a weak renewable-energy standard -just 20% of U.S. electricity would need to come from renewables by 2020, but that allows for nuclear power...
...compromise also loosened a requirement on states to generate 25% of their electricity with renewable fuel by 2025. That goal was lowered to 20% by 2020. And, as a concession to Southern states that lack sources of solar and geothermal power, the agreement provides credit for nuclear and hydro generation of electric power...
...Barvikha to unwind. You go there to experience life as it is lived by Russia's élite. This is where today's boyar and his 20-year-old girlfriend get facials and hydro-massages and sip lemon water in fluffy robes while having their toenails buffed. This is where you pay top-tier prices - say, $250 for a 21/2-hour treatment - simply to be with other members of Russia's ruling class...
Harvard’s green purchases are heterogeneous, including wind and small-hydro Renewable Energy Certificates as well as on-site solar generation from panels at the Business School and Science Center, Smith said...
