The myth of the “long tailpipe” – the idea that, because EVs are partially powered by dirty coal, they are no cleaner than legacy vehicles – just won’t go away. In 2012, a detailed study from the Union of Concerned Scientists found that even if it were charged 100% from coal, an EV would still… Read more »

Solar array at New Terminal One at JFK Airport to be largest at a US airport, will provide 50% of total electricity needed
John F. Kennedy International Airport, the busiest airport for international traffic in North America, always seems to be reinventing itself. It opened in 1948 as New York International Airport, although it was typically referred to then as Idlewild. The airport was intended as the world’s largest and most efficient, with “no confusion and no congestion.”… Read more »
