Deforestation in Alaskaâs Coastal Rainforest: Causes and Solutions. by Rick Steiner. University of Alaska, October 1998. This case study will present an overview of the Alaska coastal temperate rainforest - a description of the forest; the history, extent, and causes of deforestation; and proposed solutions. It should be pointed out that this report offers only a very brief overview, and many interesting and pertinent details are omitted.
The official starting MSRP for the RAV4 EV is $49,800, before incentives. (Toyota adds $860 in destination fees.) That's a hefty price, even after considering the vehicle's qualifications for $7,500 federal tax credit, and a $2,500 rebate in California's clean vehicle program.
On average, a similar value emerges to that of the price experience curve for solar modules. A module that cost US$5-$6 in 2000 costs just $0.50 to $0.60 cents in 2014.

If the battery has 80% usable capacity and holds 5,000 cycles, the cost of stored electricity in this evaluation will fall from â¬0.20/kWh ($0.25) in 2012 to â¬0.05/kWh ($0.06) in 2030.
