I have seen a lot of questions on here or in the news about electric and hybrid cars. It’s all well and good to want to find a way to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, but that cannt be accomplished without finding an completely new fuel source or vitalising something that already exists, like ethanol or boidiesel for vehicles. electric cars either need fossil fuel in their tank or if its a plug in it uses the fossil fuels by proxy that the local electric company is using. There really aren’t too many areas in the US that are using wind or hydro-electric plants. Most power plants in the US are coal powered I think.
