Many schools have pledged to go "carbon neutral" by offsetting their greenhouse gas emissions by investing in CO2 reduction efforts elsewhere.
This would mean a cost savings as well as a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the status quo.
EVs are attractive to DOD for a range of reasons, including reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, enhanced energy security, and the ability to retain power during a crisis by pairing EVs with microgrids, said Gorguinpour.
The Alberta government website says the province is the first jurisdiction to set mandatory reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions.
Water-cooling of this sort could also make a more direct contribution to the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions, by promoting the use of solar energy.
The markets are perfectly capable of winnowing things out on their own, and have already created a dramatic reduction in US greenhouse gas emissions thanks to the increased use of natural gas in power generation.
But technological advances and improvements in recovery methods, as well as reduction of water usage and greenhouse gas emissions, have made oil sands a viable and popular option for the future of U.S. energy.
