"E.V.’s charge from a coal plant that blows smoke into the atmosphere 24 hours a day?” I could send him a picture of da(edit Ivory 99 and 44/100 percent pure) Rat smoking in front of his solar panels 24 hours a day, but I'll prolly have to use my flash, and, if it is possibly OK, I'd rather pull an all-nighter in the summer, thank you very kindly.

"The overall efficiency of the electric car depends most signficantly on the source of electricity. If you electric car is recharged from your own windmill, the efficiency can be as much as 80%, but if power station losses and grid losses are also included that may drop to as much as 28%. Still better than the petrol car though." God, I wish the world were perfect but unfortunately, it ain't. The good news: most of WA state's power comes from hydroelectric power and nukes. A major coal burning plant in the state is getting converted to nat. gas in the next year. How's that?
