We’re facing a lack of renewable fuels and the technology to deliver cleaner power generation. We’re seeing a rise in battery-powered passenger vehicles, but the high power demands of the aviation, locomotive, shipping, and long-haul trucking industries will continue to require energy-dense hydrocarbons for the foreseeable future.

Let’s say an automaker makes more battery-powered electric vehicles, thus using more nickel for the batteries. Indirect effects analysis concludes that a new coal-burning power plant will supply the lost electricity, with a huge resulting GHG release. Fair enough, you think?

There’s the heavily circulated Facebook meme that argues, “Driving an electric car won’t save the planet,” which oversimplifies the argument and is dangerously misleading.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Way to go morons. P.S. The Volt is not revolutionary.
