    How do you think electricity gets made for your electric car? And how about them batteries. Your position is hypocritical.

      Thank you for your genuine interest in electricity generation in my local area. The electricity mix where I’m from is a combination of wind, nuclear, and hydro electric. In emergencies we have a backup combustion system that will kick in. My power company publishes a neato dashboard all about it, it’s actually at most 1/6th and usually 1/12th or lower g/MWH CO2 VS coal fired power production.

      But curiously enough, even if it were run entirely on coal, my electric car would still produce much less CO2 over its lifespan, and have the potential to get cleaner as grids improve, since gasoline is so much more CO2 intense and Ice engines are so mature without much more room for serious efficiency gains.

      I’m super glad you were curious enough to ask me such open ended questions, and really happy that my work in this area gave me the knowledge to answer your obviously genuine questions. Now you can be proud to know something you didn’t know a few minutes ago becuase of your open mindedness.

        Ice engines.

        Are they engines powered by ice?

        Are they engines that produce ice?

        Are they engines powered by internal combustion engines?

        Are they engines that produce internal combustion engines?

        Who knows.

          It’s the last thing, internal Combustion engine engine, they produce smaller internal Combustion engines on every stroke.

      There are clean forms of energy generation.

        That’s another thing right wingers love: laughing at strawmen because they can’t perceive reality.

      I’m gonna go ahead and believe this post is sarcasm, ok? Because this is exactly the kind of bullshit these morons would argue with.
