dank24...My Washington State produces equivalent electric energy power to gas engines with only 4% of the pollution of Internal Combustion Engines(ICE). I hate coal, but even centralized coal fired electric energy production is less polluting than individual ICE (any centralized energy production is better than individual energy sources), & those coal fired production centers are not in the middle of cities killing kids w/pollution like ICEs are.
Transfer of electric power through power lines is more efficient than the transfer to gas stations of gas via tanker trucks.
Electric motors are 4 times more efficient than ICE.
Chuck bio-fuels which is an idea to extend the live of ICE.
Long live electric engines once electric energy density storage is improved. May ICE soon die...& kids live.
P.S....E85 pollutions study by Prof. Mark Jacobsen. Details for April 18, 2007 on Green Car Congress.
