People who own all-electric cars where coal generates the power may think they are helping the environment. But a new study finds their vehicles actually make the air dirtier, worsening global warming. Ethanol isn't so green, either.
"It's kind of hard to beat gasoline" for public and environmental health, said study co-author Julian Marshall, an engineering professor at the University of Minnesota. "A lot of the technologies that we think of as being clean ... are not better than gasoline."
The key is where the source of the electricity all-electric cars. If it comes from coal, the electric cars produce 3.6 times more soot and smog deaths than gas, because of the pollution made in generating the electricity, according to the study that is published Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They also are significantly worse at heat-trapping carbon dioxide that worsens global warming, it found...
...Hybrids and diesel engines are cleaner than gas, causing fewer air pollution deaths and spewing less heat-trapping gas.
But ethanol isn't, with 80 percent more air pollution mortality, according to the study.

The Victorian Taxi Association launched a social media campaign this week, encouraging people to share positive stories about using cabs in an attempt to boost their profile.
Instead they've received a multitude of negative stories, and some of them are really quite concerning. Nevertheless, the fact that the cabs' association thought that this idea wouldn't be instantly hijacked by a deluge of social media truthbombs is somewhat amusing.
What did I learn?
(a) If you didn't think there was a problem in the community with the perception of cab quality before, then you'd have to concede that there is now.
(b) If this approach represents the strategic mindset of the taxi industry in the midst of the Uber wars, then it's well more rooted that I initially thought.
