Greenhouse gas: Tesla transition to sustainable electricity?
By Bob Simon
“In order to maximize our impact, we plan to continue increasing our production volumes and the accessibility of our products,” according to Tesla report in 2020. Tesla Board[1] unveils its focus on the environmental strategy that could help accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. [1].

If we understand Tesla’s main goal is to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions instead of driving a fuel car, we replace it with an electric car produced by Tesla. But how, when the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)[2] identified that the two first main sources of greenhouse gas emissions are transportation and electricity production.
The transition Tesla is fighting will impact the production of electricity. Therefore the increase in electricity production and the production of raw materials in the industrial sector. Now, what is sustainability for an ideal environment?
Sustainability, according to the United Nations’ Brundtland Commission of 1987, is the ability of systems to meet the needs of current society without affecting the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Conforming to this definition, sustainable energy is the energy that powers the needs of the current generations and conserves the ability to meet those of future generations.
