What About Electric Cars?
By Admin – September 15th, 2009
We received a request from a reader asking why GHASP (now Air Alliance Houston) does not address emissions from passenger vehicles, in particular the electric car which is a zero-emission vehicle (totally electric not a hybrid) and coming into the mainstream market.
Indeed we do work to improve air quality which involves working with governmental agencies, industry and research centers to reduce all varieties of air pollution to the point of elimination. This includes emissions not only from on-road mobile sources but also off-road mobile sources, area and point sources and biogenic emissions (resulting from biological activity or from living things; read our publication Trees & Our Air, 1999).
