"How the electricity is produced is the solution," he continues. He further adds, "If my electricity is coming from a thermal power plant, we can't say ok it is green. So what is important is to generate electricity that is greener and to have other sustainable things that are around to the energy aspect."
It is crucial to mention that thermal power plants use coal as a major source of power to generate electricity. Using coal comes at a cost of having an impact on the environment in the form of the gases produced during its combustion. Electricity used to charge electric automobiles cannot be referred to as green or environmentally friendly because the entire process of producing power by burning coal likewise pollutes the environment.
However, there are alternate greener ways to generate electricity. For instance, wind or solar energy can be used to have a sustainable future and achieve net-zero carbon emissions.
MS Dhoni's collection of vehicle has multiple motorcycles like Confederate X132 Hellcat, TVS Apache RR310, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R, Kawasaki Ninja H2, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Ducati 1098, and more. In addition owns multiple cars like Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, Hummer H2, Land Rover Freelander, Audi Q7, Mitsubishi Pajero SFX, Mercedes-Benz GLE and more.
