And such “Scope 3” emissions – including those of suppliers – represented the deepest part of the product line’s carbon footprint.Batteries are a big factor. ![]() But this time, in Tesla’s report, it was part of the tally. What should we make of a recent report from carmaker Tesla reminding us that, even though its cars have no tailpipes, there are significant carbon emissions associated with getting them built and on the road?It’s worth thinking about, though there’s a lot more at play when it comes to electric vehicles and CO2 emissions.The vast network needed to supply raw materials and component parts for EVs makes for difficult accounting. ![]() ![]() Janet is also an advocate of independent bookstores, investing in The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore in Paris. “I love putting pen to paper and am interested in women’s journey and the way that women who move to a foreign country must reinvent themselves.” Janet Skeslien Charles An ardent Francophile, Janet moved to Paris from Montana as a young woman ultimately finding an opportunity to work at the American Library where she found her latest writing inspiration.
