The electric cars will only be a success if they use non-fossil fuel to create the electricity which, in most cases, is not what's happening right now.
Otherwise the electronic car really defeats its purpose. You would buy your electric, or even hybrid car mainly because it is better for the environment, but by using electricity you would really be contributing the same amout of pollution, be it by using more electricity that was created with fossil fuels.
Dunno if that makes sense. |

how do they generate the electricity to put in the car? through fossil fuel plants?

we need to find alternative generating options ASAP |

when they nbecome as performant... and if they stop giving them ugly shapes, I might consider...
right now, unless your an die-hard environmentalist, I dont see the interest of owning one..
But for a fact I think we will all be dead when they totally replace gasoline vehicles |

At first I thought you were talking about electric windmills, and was like, well, I dont want to own a windmill either... but then I remembered what the topic of this thread was. :p |

Thats the problem with windmills. You need quite a lot of them, but obviously its very clean energy. There was a newsitem on the Dutch news the other day, saying that we only have 2% of our energy coming from windmills, which is odd since anyone who lives/has been to the netherlands will know it can get quite windy. Our problem is the 'not-in-my-backyard'-syndrome. Being such a small country there are few uninhabitated (sp?) places, and the few spots that are, we want to keep 'cause we have very few natural sites as well.
Proof that its not just a fancy idea that wind-energy can support a large share of the total energy of a country is Denmark, they get around 20% of their energy from wind. |

Lol, you're right. That's because we have a gay government, and also because we would be considered s if we wouldnt let in people.
The "our country is full" argument is usually perceived as racist over here. |
