<<This means that plug-ins not charged with coal power would still be doing quite a bit better than regular hybrids, especially if you drive less than the electric range between charges, and as time goes on more of the grid should get power from clean sources. There is also a benefit to air quality when you move the emissions from millions of tailpipes that are close to people's lungs to a few centralized power plants. Ideally all energy would come from renewables, but even in the meantime, we might get clean air benefits.>>

<<...the energy and power requirements for storage in utility applications are many orders of magnitude larger, so it is not surprising that different technologies are needed and the successes on the small electronics and hybrid car level do not scale up.>>

Large power storage.
