I wonder if they ever point out that each of these zero emission wonder cars comes along with an electric generation plant which can put huge amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere, leave a residue of toxic radioactive materials to be dealt with or cause huge damage to rivers and fish populations??
You forgot to mention the giant windmills that slice and dice birds of prey and bats that are critical to maintaining a balaced ecosystem plus being a blight on the landscape on both the mountains and plains. Some areas of eastern New Mexico are so dense with them it almost appears like a science fiction movie scene.
But I get my electric power from the nuclear power plant just a mile up the road. It has zero emissions and no CO2 release. Environmentalists love it!
Oh wait...

When it comes to screwing out of state car companies, they are on it! From today’s print edition.
...”California will give the companies double credit for electric cars and fuel-cell vehicles while eliminating the requirement that they account for “upstream” emissions from electric production.
Even in California’s green-energy paradise, natural gas accounts for a third of electricity production. In most states like New Jersey and Massachusetts that have adopted California’s emissions standards, fossil fuels account for half or more.”

Yup. The unwashed, myopic, Mr. Magoo Prius owners do not know this. Electric cars are coal-powered cars, and battery disposal is an environmental nightmare; but that’s okay, we send them to India and China. China is building coal plants at an unbelievable rate.
Yup, and with the exception of the Tesla, coal-cars are butt-ugly, gay looking things driven by flaming liberal Moonbats.
Blaming cars when China has no scrubber dirty coal plants.
