Harga BBM naik? Mari pikirkan caranya kurangi ketergantungan pada kendaraan pribadi berbahan bakar fosil.

We’re lagging behind on the shift to electric vehicles and clean transport. Here’s what we need to do.
Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time – so what have the Coalition and the Labor party actually promised? Five experts grade different aspects of their climate policies.
Prospek pengurangan emisi global jauh lebih baik ketimbang laporan asesmen IPCC sebelumnya, berkat jatuhnya ongkos teknologi energi bersih.
The outlook for potential emissions reduction is far better than in earlier assessments, thanks to the plunging costs of clean energy technologies.
Unfortunately, Australians should not expect EVs to suddenly become cheap and easy to get here in the next couple of years unless policy changes.
It’s encouraging to see the Morrison government move past its claim electric vehicles would ‘end the weekend’. But the new plan is not the national electric vehicle strategy Australia deserves, and badly needs.
A new Morrison government plan sorely misses the point on electric vehicles. It’s in stark contrast to Biden’s ambitious EV strategy.
Tesla founder Elon Musk has described hydrogen-powered cars as “mind-bogglingly stupid”. So is he right?
Households shouldn’t have to do all the heavy lifting in the renewables transition. A new solar farm shows organisations and businesses how it’s done.
The long-awaited paper sets a positive tone. But it’s not clear if the government grasps the sheer scale or urgency of the emissions reduction task.
A proposed tax on electric vehicles would blow a golden opportunity to prepare our transport system for the disruption ahead.
Despite the overwhelming evidence that electric vehicle technology can deliver huge benefits, misinformation continues to muddy debate. Let’s look at the facts.
This shocking figure comes from our back-of-the-envelope calculations looking at the effect of forcing more efficient engines on the Australian market.
Some countries have already committed to using electric aircraft on domestic routes. These aircraft could slash costs and emissions on some of Australia’s busiest flight routes.
Electric motors are used in everything from utes to mining trucks – because they pack plenty of oomph.
It’s unclear exactly what mix of technologies will drive the zero-emission vehicles of the future. But in terms of ‘well-to-wheel’ efficiency, electric batteries outperform hydrogen.
Busting congestion requires some creativity - and evidence-based methods. Here are four of these.
Self-driving, shared, electric vehicles and increasing urban density represent four disruptions that will transform city life. But a transport utopia isn’t a guaranteed outcome of their interactions.
Once a new road opens, people switch back to cars and congestion increases back to a steady-state point of gridlock. For lasting effectiveness, policy needs to include congestion charges and better rail services.
