electric cars are crap, most people are fooled into the idea that they save the environment
and is an alternative to fuel.
except there is one major problem.
you need more electricity, more electricity equals more nuclear power stations.
or more smoke stacks (coal)
Especially in Australia we are so freaking dumb that the government wont make nuclear power plants. so instead they choose to make more smoke stacks....
so more coal burnt = larger hole in the ozone layer = more problems for everyone.
As a fellow Australian I agree that we should have nuclear power plants.
And whilst more electricity consumption will require more electricity production it need not come from coal, though most of it will in our enormously vacant land.
The side-effect is that there is a reduction of fuel refineries, fuel tankers on the roads, off-shore fuel drilling and oil tankers.
even if you have nuclear power, most countries will still have smoke stacks as well.
making more electricity is not a solution.
Nuclear power plants have cooling towers from which water vapour clouds billow, not smoke.
in fact to be completely blunt with all of you, there is no human solution to this problem!
either way we go we are DOOMED!
Actually, all the solutions to this problem
are human. We are not waiting for divine intervention, well not the ones actually working on the solutions.
The fact is, converting electrical energy to the kinetic energy of the vehicles motion is more efficient than that derived from the internal combustion engine. So even with brown coal electric plants, less pollution is created for every kilometer traveled vs. a kilometer backed by fossil fuels.
