Batteries are becoming larger, cheaper, and more versatile, allowing them to support electric vehicles and an electric grid with a growing share of wind and solar power.

Organic waste creates climate-warming greenhouse gases when it decomposes, but careful management can prevent it from contributing to climate change.

Electric vehicles are a cleaner alternative to gasoline- or diesel-powered cars and trucks—both in terms of harmful air pollution, and the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change.
