Case Study: There are two parts to this assignment. Answer this discussion post and then respond to three students using no more than 3-5 sentences. I will post the second half of the assignment after the discussion post has been answered. When responding to the student's post please add valuable information. Do not repeat what they have posted

This week we learned about air pollution and the accumulation of greenhouse gasses. We know that burning fossil fuels (like gasoline in automobiles) is a major contributor of greenhouse gasses. In April the EPA proposed changes to the regulation of emmissions that seem poised to push the production of Electric Vehicles (EVs) way up (see this news story from CNN).

For the discussion this week I'd love to hear your thoughts, supported by research, on whether or not we should be giving up on alternative fuels (like biofuel) and going all in on EVs. A few questions to consider:

Question 1: Are EVs really going to be much better for the environment than gas engines if we are still generating most of our electricity with fossil fuels?

Question 2: Would investing in biofuels be a better long term solution, or will all energy be generated by renewables soon enough that we should just convert fully to EVs?
