Plug-in Vehicles Have Been Weighed in the Balance and Found Wanting

MDSketch — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:00:00 +0000

A comment from maxkilmachina recently drew my attention to an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences titled Valuation of plug-in vehicle life-cycle air emissions and oil displacement benefits. While it costs $10 to download the article and supporting documentation, I believe it’s worthwhile for all serious energy storage and electric vehicle investors because the underlying study is the first comprehensive total cost of ownership analysis I’ve seen that includes both direct end-user costs and identifiable externalities like emissions, military and other indirect costs arising from oil consumption in the US.

Geographic Diversification of Wind Power Has No Bearing on its Variability

Last Wednesday I stirred up a hornets nest with an article titled “A Reality Check for Wind Power Investors” (link at the bottom of this article) that included two graphs from the Bonneville Power Administration, or BPA, which manages a four state, 300,000 square mile service region that’s home to over 40% of the installed hydro capacity and roughly 12% of the installed wind capacity in the US.
