Unless you get ur electricity
Unless you get ur electricity from solar/wind, your electricity is NOT pollution-free - not even close. Pollution and global warming. Even if you dont believe in GW, pollution also causes a LOT of health problems - just ask the millions who have asthma or other breathing problems. Is there less pollution with electric powered car miles than with gas-powered car miles? UCS study says it depends on what part of country u live in. But, overall, electricity from fossil fuels (not wind/solar) is still a big problem. Tesla pollution per mile is much greater than for a Prius Plug-in or a Leaf because Tesla is heavier. Get the smallest, most efficient car you can live with, regardless of whether it's all gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or EV. Better yet, start walking and biking whenever you can. Or, do what people did for centuries before 1910....live near where you work, or live near a transit route (which means you gotta push your politicians to bring back transit), or car/van-pool. There is no free lunch when you live a car-centered life.
