I definately agree that we need both vehicles that use LESS energy (more efficient) and create less carbon.
The downside to coal generation is that it DOES make lots of CO2 and mercury gets put into the atmosphere. I am also not real comfortable with strip mining and other techniques that wreck the countryside.
My electric car is powered by renewable energy from landfill gas and wind generation.
Coal-powered SUVs at NOT the answer!
We all need to work towards both conservation AND renewable options.
