Emissions and Energy Efficiency Assessment of Baseload Wind Energy Systems

TL;DR: A model was developed to assess the technical and environmental performance of baseload wind energy systems using compressed air energy storage that achieves an effective primary energy efficiency of at least five times greater than the most efficient fossil combustion technology, with greenhouse gas emission rates less than 20% of the least emitting fossil technology currently available.

Choice of smallest car by multi-vehicle households and the demand for electric vehicles

TL;DR: In this article, a model explaining the choice of smallest car by multi-vehicle households was estimated on data collected in the Baltimore area in the spring of 1977, with choice categories defined by distinguishing five size classes (including one “luxury” class) and four age categories.

The allure of technology: How France and California promoted electric and hybrid vehicles to reduce urban air pollution

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the role of public, the media, the academic community, and the interest groups affected by the regulation in California and France and argue that California's stringent regulation spurred the development of innovative hybrid and fuel cell vehicles more effectively than the French approach.
