But electric costs are still impacted by gas prices. The dirty secret that the greenies don’t want to know is that electric “zero emissions” cars are charged by coal, natural gas, or gasoline fired generators.
Or worse - (shudder) - nuke plants!
Can’t help that...they have us over a barrel...literally...
Wait, what?
If you want to have a "zero emission" car of any kind, you'll have to use nuke plants to wind it up. Unless you have a hydro facility in your area; then it's running on gravity like a soap-box derby car.
Nuke plants have an undeserved bad rap; they have fewer emissions of radioactive materials than do coal-burning facilities.
This is because coal has, naturally, stuff other than pure carbon in it. It even has the impressions of palm fronds from the Cretaceous pressed into it.
Which do you think will have fewer emissions, one truckload of nuclear fuel components that are guarded as if they were more precious than gold, or a hundred thousand trucks full of coal?
