Electric Cars

I'm all in favor of more fuel-efficient cars. I just want people to be realistic. This article talks about a plug-in car, which sounds like a great idea. Yes, it would be very convenient to never have to fill up with gas. But I hope the author of this piece understands that the electricity used in the car comes from somewhere. Is he going to complain when his electric bill goes up? Yes, the increase will probably be less than he pays in gas, but it will go up. And does he realize that the extra electricity needs to be generated somehow and will most likely come from burning fossil fuels? Of course we would like to have cleaner electricity, but until windmills, hydroelectric plants, solar, and nuclear power are more prevalent, we need to know electric cars will simply move the pollution away from the streets and off to the power plants.
