I have 2 electric vehicles already. Where does the electricity come from? 45% of the electricity generated in the US comes from fossil fuels. Should have been 75%. OK, I said 65+... looks like i was a bit 'conservative' in my guestimation. |

Nuclear kicks in another 19 percent. Solar, wind, geothermal sources produce very little by comparison. There's no magic or anything particularly "green" about battery powered cars. The energy had to come from somewhere. http://mapawatt.com/wp-content/uploa...table_2010.gif |

Hydro produces somewhere around 7 percent of all the electricity generated nationally. Good for your area but certainly cannot support the national demand, even without a major shift to electric cars. |

Steam via coal, fission, NG but it is not going to be Hydro. http://www.nwcouncil.org/maps/power/overview.htm |
