This is a 1.5 mb .pdf file of a long article discussing the downside of electric vehicles. I found it fascinating, and upsetting but couldn't stop once I started reading. I haven't seen any reference to it on Priuschat. You can download it at: The Emperor?s New Car Report on Electric Cars | We are the most reliable Car Performance Provider in the internet
Wow - it's like the CNW Hummer is less polluting than a Prius report - the EV version. Lots of good commentary of the article on this website: http://www.caradvice.com.au/62468/electric-cars-a-major-environmental-threat/
Are people really that stupid? (No, you don't have to answer that) So, if we're going to include the source of the electricity generation, which I would agree is a valid consideration, why not include ALL the costs of gas? Like poisoning the air, water, and soil. What's that worth? Sure, oil is convenient now that we've built the infrastructure, and lotsa people make lotsa money from it, but the machinations and justifications people go through to avoid facing reality is quite incredible.
