More than 90% of electricity comes from coal and the electricity is then used in your car after more processing than the gas car would. It does the same if more damage plus the battery acid employed. Its even worse with hybrids because it goes through ANOTHER conversion process.
That's why we need to stop using coal and instead find a new energy source that is clean and safe, while still being reliable.
If only it was that easy. There are volumes and volumes about why we're not going to wean off coal and oil until we're forced to by dwindling supplies.
Oh, I know it's not gonna happen anytime soon. Chances are, it won't even happen in our lifetimes.
