So now you’re claiming that if the emissions involved in the production of electrical power are emitted elsewhere, they don’t exist?
With brilliant thinking like that you must have an MBA.
That's my thing with electric vehicles, so many claim that they're emission free or low-pollution, but they're not. Unless the electricity was produced from a clean source like natural gas or nuclear, then it was most likely produced in coal or petroleum burning power plants. In the U.S., most electricity is produced in non-clean sources such as coal or petroleum burning power plants so it just moves the pollutants elsewhere. And in the case of petroleum-burning power plants, it still relies upon foreign oil and funds countries that are our enemies or who fund our enemies.
The same case can be made against hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, when they become available. It takes electricity to produce hydrogen, the electricity is most likely produced at a coal or petroleum burning power plant.
