Something for nothing

Something for nothing
Calling electric vehicles is if not dishonest at least very misleading. The sort of people who drive them and brag about how " enviromentally clean" they are are less than honest as well. 

Fact is the " clean energy" they are using comes in the most part from power plants that burn fossil fuels (60%). The other largest single producer is nuclear (21%) Renewables 19%. But - you need to factor in the energy needed to get the equipment needed for rebewables as they rely on other sources of energy in manufacture (80%). 

Electric vehicles are cool - no doubt. I' m building one. ( off road stealth vehicle for hunting - still in development - but got my first ride on it this week. Very torquey).

But pretending they are " zero emmissions" is denying the truth.

Somebody somewhere has to breathe the pollution you are responsible for with your EV.
