Energy, Emissions & Environmental Accounting

Introduces the Regulatory Gap Cost (RGC) metric and applies it manufacturer by manufacturer, Euro standard by Euro standard, to produce the aggregate health liability that existing settlements have left largely unaddressed.

Traces the three regulatory instruments — CO₂-only fleet targets, diesel fuel tax differentials, and the NEDC test cycle — that made diesel Europe's dominant powertrain and made Dieselgate structurally inevitable.

Explore future innovations in battery technology, grid management, and policy that could make electric vehicles truly sustainable.

Compare the climate impact of electric vehicles versus improved public transit, arguing that better buses and urban planning offer superior decarbonization benefits.

Explore the economic costs of EV adoption, including subsidies, infrastructure investments, and societal burdens that make clean driving expensive for taxpayers.

Investigate the human and environmental toll of mining critical minerals for electric vehicles, exposing how clean driving shifts burdens to vulnerable communities in the Global South.

A critical examination of the electric vehicle revolution, exploring the hidden costs, environmental impacts, and real-world implications of EV adoption.

Examine the hidden carbon footprint of electric vehicle battery manufacturing, revealing how production emissions create a substantial environmental debt before EVs ever hit the road.

The electric vehicle revolution promises zero tailpipe emissions, but the true environmental cost lies in the global battery supply chain. This analysis reveals how mining, refining, and manufacturing shift carbon burdens to developing economies, and explores strategies for genuinely sustainable electric mobility.
