"Life-Saving Potential: One Simple Lifestyle Change for Significant Health Benefits"

A new report from the American Lung Association highlights the potential health benefits of transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) powered by renewable energy sources. The report estimates that if Americans stop using conventional air-polluting vehicles and the U.S. cleans up its power grid, it could save 89,000 lives and nearly $1 trillion in health costs by the middle of the century. Conventional motor vehicles emit pollutants that have detrimental effects on cardiovascular and respiratory health. While states like California and Oregon have set goals for zero-emission vehicle sales, the report emphasizes the importance of powering EVs with clean energy sources to achieve these health benefits.
