It is great to read about electric cars and how they are coming along. I read a great article titled, "Electric Car Finds its Niche" at http://economicefficiency.blogspot.com/2008/08/electric-car-finds-its-niche.html The article spells out why electric cars in London make sense.

There are alternatives we just need to use them. Sure there will be obstacles but I know we can get over them to make our world a healthier place. The reward is worth the battle!

Even if your power plant is coal, the carbon foot print of charging your car vs using gas is very small. It's almost as if he is saying 'if you can't get a zero carbon footprint, screw it, and use gas'. Makes no sense at all. ELECTRIC IS THE WAY TO GO. It will only improve like all electronic devices do. The author has no idea. Even if your power plant is coal, the carbon foot print of charging your car vs using gas is very small.

Here is a great site to find out YOUR clean energy use: http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-and-you/how-clean.html Remember, that petrol (gas) alone will always burn 100% dirty. Also, electric engines are roughly 5 times more efficient. So even if you get 100% of your power from coal, you are causing only 20% of the pollution you would be with a gas car.
