I think the title of this thread is a bit deceiving.
The article says that PHEVs MAY be worse about CERTAIN kinds of pollution.
My fear is that people just read headlines (like of that article, not this thread) and get turned off from the idea of electric vehicles because of it.
Just like how bio-fuels have gotten a bad rap the last few weeks from articles saying they may INCREASE carbon emmissions. But thats only true from using certain types of plants, or plowing under forests, to plant crops that really aren't the best (ahem - corn - cough cough..) for making biofuels anyhow.
Conservation really is key.
We need to use less energy overall no matter what.
And I like that electric vehicles use less energy and that energy can be made from hydro, wind, and solar.
