Practica en el siguiente texto la técnica de lectura ‘skimming’. Al leer un texto por primera vez, debes darle un vistazo para comprender la idea principal. En este ejemplo, lee el texto resaltado y mira rápidamente el resto del texto; luego, responde la pregunta del final



Electric-car drivers are saving the planet, right? Their vehicles produce none of the pollutants that dinosaur- burning, fossil-fuel-powered machines do. That is the standard view, and governments around the world
provide incentives to encourage the uptake of this new technology.
That is why a Tesla owner got a rude shock when he went to import his vehicle into Singapore - the first
person to do so.
what happened?
The Tesla Model S is a 100% electric vehicle. It does not have an exhaust to emit from. So
Instead of an expected rebate of around S$15,000 (US$10,800) he received a fine of the same amount for
being a gross polluter.
The company commented the incident, "The Model S that our customer imported into Singapore left our factory only two years ago with energy consumption rated at 181 Wh/km. This qualifies as the cleanest possible category of car in Singapore and entitles the owner to an incentive rather than a fine."
The Singapore authorities calculated the ‘carbon cost’ of generating the electricity that will be used to charge
the car.
This is the elephant in the trunk of electric vehicles. Where and how the power is produced is not often considered, but perhaps it should be. Let’s move the elephant up to the passenger seat and address it directly.

The authorities in Singapore apparently found the Tesla in question consumes 444 watt-hours of electricity
per km (Wh/km) in tests.
Without wanting to get too maths-heavy, the number of
And as we still need power stations to produce such amount electric energy, the environmental impact is not so small as it seemed to be.
444Wh/km does seem high.
But what about the bigger picture - should we be factoring in the emissions of power stations when working out how green an electric car is? The logical answer is yes. Emissions shifted elsewhere are still emissions,
and CO2 impacts the global atmosphere wherever it is released. Ayuda please!!!
