Paleobotanistsstudy the history of fossilized plants. They use fossils to understand plant ecosystems from various geological eras and how this contributes to Earth’s history. Palynologistsfocus on pollen and spores, both living and fossilized, to enhance the understanding of plant reproduction and ...
Hurray!" According to fueleconomy.gov, his figure is about half the published energy cost of a MINI or Nissan Leaf; even so, the new EVs are still well ahead of the old fossils.How do electric cars compare? Let's put that theoretical "15 kilowatt hours (kWh) per 100km" in context....
