Reasons to Love 3-Digit Oil

Where do you think the electricity for electric cars comes from? How about the hydrogen? The answer is from fossil fuels. Hydrogen and electricity are energy FORMS, not energy SOURCES. We get electric from coal and hydrogen from natural gas. These cars don't solve the big issue. In fact, if everyone "plugged in" today, we generate more CO2, not less.

I wish people would look at the big picture when they talk about environmental solutions. You have to look at the end-to-end picture when you talk fuel cell or electrics. They are not polution-free by any means. Now, if you said we should build more nukes to power electrics, I'd be ok with that.
