Because what you do with an electric car is you do not eliminate emissions. You simply export them somewhere else. You need to dig up about ( 500000 pound ) of materials to make a single 1000 pound battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes around 100-300 barrels of oil equivalent to energy. Just manufacturing the batteries can have a carbon debt rate ranging from 10-40 tons of carbon dioxide, and the plans that are in place is to increase the use of batteries which will require an increase in production of minerals like lithium, cobalt, zinc. Demand for these minerals will rise between 400%-4000%. There is not enough mining in the world to make enough batteries for that many people for their cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are causing climate change, including global warming. To slow climate change requires reducing these emissions. Large reduction in GHG in the United States over the next decade is feasible technologically, and achieving Net-zero emissions in US as well as globally by 2050 would have a big impact on future climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achieving zero emissions means releasing no greenhouse gas to the atmosphere which means no CO2, no methane, no nitrous oxide or other GHG. On the other side achieving net-zero emissions means that some GHG are still released, but these are offset by removing on equivalent amount of greenhouse from the atmosphere and storing it permanently in soil, plants or materials. Because it would be prohibitvely expensive or disruptive to eliminate some sources of emissions entirely. Achieving Net-zero emissions seems to be considered more feasible than achieving zero- emissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
