Any Amiga.org users have an EV? Homebrewed?

Electric cars only makes sense if you are not getting your electricity from oil or coal. There is always a net gain in pollution in the conversion process using these fuels.

Californians are always harping on electric cars, but they buy a lot of their electric power out of state from oil or coal fueled plants, putting the pollution in somebody else's back yard.

Just because the US hasn't signed the Kyoto treaty, too many people assume the US is a dirty place and we don't care about a clean environment. Sure there are places in the US that need more clean up, but it is a lot cleaner than it was 20 or 30 years ago, and a heck of a lot cleaner than most other countries I have been to.
