[QUOTE=Superbelt]The pollution from driving will be virtually eliminated once we transition to electrically driven cars.QUOTE]
This statement would make sense if we produced electricity using nuclear power (BTW big in europe) otherwise if the electricity is produced via a coal burning plant the emissions come from the power plant not the car? What about battery disposal etc.
It seems when we try to build nuclear power plants in Calif environmentalists always protest?
Whats funny is that I too grew up in the 70s and earkl 80s when global cooling was all the rage, we were heading for another ice age and acid rain was going to dystroy the crops and mankind was going to starve to death hence I am a bit jaded by scientists. I wonder if they really know what they are doing. Just a few days ago in the paper they said the ozone hole was shrinking?
