I've got solar panels on my house, so it basically costs me nothing to drive my car - other than replacing the tires and brake pads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
For those concerned about whether the electric cars are more polluting than gas cars, here is a report from the Union of Concerned Scientists (hard to find a more unbiased study): http://www.ucsusa.org/assets/documents/cle...ions-report.pdf In a nutshell, if your region relies heavily upon coal, there is a rise in particulates. If you live in a region (such as the state of Washington), you get a reduction in pollution. Even so, a lot of coal plants are being changed over to natural gas, courtesy of the boom in fracking. Oh, and just remember - you can get electricity from a lot of different sources, but only one source for gasoline. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
