So where is all this electricity going to come from???

Power plants burning fossil fuels. You know, fossil fuels, the things the envirowhackos think electric cars are replacing. Oh and those electric cars will require the use of fossil fuels during their construction and when they are transported to the dealerships. Pretty sure 18 wheelers aren't electric-powered.

It's a shame that some of the envirowhackos got their panties in a bunch over the problems in Japan and are doing what they can to fight nuclear plants here in the US, but what do they care, as long as they can pretend their precious electric cars aren't directly using fossil fuels.

LOL!

My son brought up a few of those points when “alternative energy” was being discussed at his school.

The teacher scowled at him for being right...

If I were in the fossil fuel business, I'd be cackling with glee. They want electric cars which need to be charged - cha-ching. They want to capture carbon emissions from coal, so they'll need to burn more coal to do it - cha-ching. They want to switch everybody to natural gas and increase its use - cha-ching. They want to block all nuclear power development - cha-ching.

Nuclear power went from zero to a huge fraction of global power production practically overnight - that must have driven the fossil-fuel guys totally nuts.
