[Editor’s note: After reading Dave Reichmuth’s most recent piece, I started thinking about a comparable study on Wisconsin land use. Land use and solar power, which generates clean electricity that many increasingly use to power EVs and homes, are topics of complaints we hear from time to time. However, a … [continued]

If you haven’t already, be sure to read Part 1 to see where my data comes from, what my assumptions are, and how I calculated everything. There’s even a spreadsheet you can use to do your own calculations if you think I’m wrong or want to plug in different numbers. With that having been said, […]

In Part 1, I discussed the methodology and assumptions that went into my comparison of the F-150 Lightning, the F-150 Hybrid, and a hypothetical plugin hybrid version of the truck. Now, let’s see how they stack up. I discuss my methods in Part 1, but to briefly recap, the production emissions are based on vehicle […]

A while back, I read a very interesting article on The Drive estimating the lifetime emissions of electric pickup trucks. They concluded that electric trucks were still better than a comparable gas-powered truck, but that the point where the EV truck had saved enough energy to make up for the extra emissions of manufacturing a […]

Electric vehicles are swiftly transforming the landscape of the auto industry, but critics have noted how significant their emissions are from manufacturing to disposal despite being marketed as more environmentally friendly than gas. While they aren’t entirely wrong, the lifespan of an EV offers many years of emission-free driving — something that can’t be matched […]

By David Waterworth with Paul Wildman Recently, Paul Wildman, a well-educated friend of mine who also happens to own a Tesla, happened upon a TED talk. He was most concerned that the car he had purchased because it was environmentally friendly might have turned out to be the antithesis of that? So, was more CO2 […]
