A pre-release version of Climate Change Bridge package number 1, “3 Civics and 7 Leafs” is now available.
Not only is this package a pre-release in the normal sense, meaning this is when the community will offer suggestions for changes, but it will also serve as a way to test drive the package development process.
The zip file containing the various related files — XLS, PPT, PDF, and even a lowly TXT — is available here.
I expect that the number one suggestion will be to include more vehicles or fuel options in the analysis. Right now, we’re seeing a huge amount of change in transportation, from the basic technologies to the fuels they use (including the “same” fuel produced in different ways), so bounding this analysis was and will be a challenge. In particular, one vehicle conspicuous by its absence, the Chevy Volt, will very likely be added in version 2.0 of the package, as PHEVs (plug-in hybrids) will play a very important role in the coming years. I excluded PHEVs in this version of the package simply to keep it more manageable while I focused on gasoline, hybrid, natural gas, and electric cars.
I encourage anyone who wants to participate in the conversation to join the CCB Google Group discussion forum.
