So they don't prevent pollution, they just shift its location. The plug-in people have studied this, and say that the plug-in option prevents a large percentage of the pollution, even if the electricity comes only from coal-fired plants. Here's a link: http://www.calcars.org/vehicles.html quote from it: <<Studies show that what is called the "well-to-wheel emissions" of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles. In California, Air Resources Board studies show that battery electric vehicles emit at least 67% lower "greenhouse gases" than gasoline cars -- even more assuming renewables. A plug-in HEV with only 20 miles all-electric daily range is 62% lower: see printed page 95 in the 2004 study, >> ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
