Unfortunately some of those technologies haven't been around long enough to fully understand the full lifecycle cost. We are burying wind turbine blades in some places and the total emissions of an EV are sometimes more than a small efficient gas automobile when total lifetime emissions are considered.
Still these technologies are succeeding in the marketplace and if they can continue to improve we may solve many of those problems as we go.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoI'd need to see the data on that EV comparison. And earth-to-earth carbon emissions of wind turbines are very unlikely to be higher than coal or nuclear. Regardless, people aren't buying small cars with efficient gas engines. They're buying trucks and SUVs they don't need. Which will likely continue until it's clear gasoline isn't going to get financially cheaper.
