Nor are hydroelectric generators. Nuclear, geothermal, and solar thermal are heat engines, but don't generate any CO2.
And the person who pays an extra $10K for the batteries in a plug-in Prius could also spend a few thousand more for his own solar panels, and still be spending only about as much as he'd spend on a similar-sized BMW or Lexus.
