Electric Vehicles Combat Global Warming
Fully electric vehicles and hybrids are effective weapons in the war against global warming. According to an Environment America report, plug-in cars are an effective way to lower CO2 and use less oil. More than 40 studies demonstrate that plug-in vehicles produce substantially less carbon dioxide than traditional gas powered vehicles. To continue reading go to The Green Market.
Electric Vehicles Combat Smog
Fully electric vehicles and hybrids reduce the urban smog that contributes to respiratory and heart problems. A study from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found that powering cars on electricity instead of gasoline would reduce smog-forming volatile organic compounds by 93% and nitrogen oxides by 31%. To continue reading go to The Green Market.
Greening Vehicle Fleets Companies with vehicle fleets can use electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids and fuel efficient vehicles to cut costs and carbon pollution. Fleet efficiency is also about reducing fuel consumption by taking incremental actions, including choosing better routes and avoiding idling. These actions add up to fuel savings and emission reductions, especially when multiplied by the millions of vehicles. To continue reading go to The Green Market.
Governments and the Growth of EVs
Governments can help manage climate change by supporting the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Fossil Fuel powered vehicles are a leading cause of global warming and as such it is incumbant upon governments to encourage the development of less environmentally harmful transportation technologies. EVs are, at present, our best option to reduce vehicular emissions. To continue reading go to The Green Market.

Electric Vehicle Bill Passes Energy Committee
An electric vehicles bill received rare bipartisan support last week. On July 21 2010, a bill by Senators Dorgan (D-N.D.), Alexander (R-Tenn.), and Merkley (D-Ore.) was approved by the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee by a vote of 19-4. To continue reading go to The Green Market.
