Reply #10: You also need to consider the SOURCE of electricity.

If it is from renewables in part (pretty much everywhere in the US has some renewables contributing to the grid, right?), then that lowers the CO2 generated. If CNG goes to provide some of the electricity, that's cleaner and more efficient than gasoline power.

Electric cars are not a perfect solution, but they are a step in the right direction. And there's always the possibility of the electricity being from 100% renewables down the road, or in an individual home that's got PV panels and or wind.

Edit: this is just ONE MORE CASE of the naysayers saying that if it's not a 100% total solution, then it must not be used under any circumstances.

Stupid people really piss me off.........
