Most natural gas fired generation is turbines. They operate at the highest temperatures they can which means they are more efficient and can extract more useful energy out of a unit of gas. Even reciprocating natural gas generation is more efficient than in car as they are 1+MW low speed engines. I will see if I can come up with some good sources of emissions data.
You need a good scientific comparison of NG generation vs burning in vehicles. I think you'll find vehicles are pretty damned bad compared to generation (when both are done well, if someone doesnt care about emissions, numbers can go to the moon).No, Natural Gas Power Plants Are Not Clean
You may have heard that natural gas is “clean.” Compared to coal, natural gas produces less global warming emissions and air pollution. But coal is just about the dirtiest way to produce electricity, so almost anything will seem cleaner in comparison. The fact of the matter is that natural gas powerblog.ucsusa.org
yes. let me know if you find something interesting. I believe opinions will vary depending on the source. good stuff.
Alternative Fuels Data Center (US Gov). EV~ 30% C02 emissions vs ice vehicle. They provided their assumptions and referenced reports. You may want to look at other sources for capital environmental cost to produce EV or conventional as they do not attempt to address it and that is a reasonable line of questioning.

Try not to spread nonsense
Where did this part come from? I hadn't heard that one before. Fuel energy density is down with ethanol and until you get to high ethanol blends you can't normally extract much more power (by dumping in a crap ton more air and fuel). Why does E15 improve charge density? I am assuming you would need to tune carb for E15 to get any power bump compared to E0 or E10?
I've been in the McMaster reactor. Really cool and you'll never forget that glow (pic doesn't do it justice). Doesn't make any electrical power, only used for experiments and production of medical isotopes (super profitable). I don't even think it makes any useful heat, it has cooling towers but I don't think they run often. Not really a fair comparison for safety compared to reactors creating hundreds of megawatts of power. That's like comparing a lawnmower engine to the house sized engine in a ship. They share some common ideas but that's about it. Different fuel, different control, different process, different vessel, different containment and on and on.boyo - check your sources sometime
If you are in Ontario gas fired turbines are rarely every used - only on a very hot day as they are a backup.
So for all intents and purposes, an EV in Ontario is carbon neutral.
Nuclear is carbon neutral and Canadian reactors very safe....there has been one running in Hamilton suburb near McMaster since the 50s ...go see it - walk over the nuclear reaction.

The problem with nukes is cost.
Or you can continue to swallow Russian propaganda
Have you tried the can of beer with the tens machine on full tilt?
Does that help you drink faster or does it turn you into a sprinkler?
Little bit of both. Wife wasn't impressed. Had to drag the carpet shampooer out.
Just go and give blood before you drink, like normal people.
