| Ecodelta - great idea on the battery cars. Until you realize that this electricity doesn't come from a magic wand, it comes from China's burning of very low grade coal. Until the country's power generation is cleaned up, hybrid cars won't make a noticeable difference. Also, most of the vehicle emissions are not caused by passenger cars. They're caused by the legions of old trucks and buses that roll around this city and this country. However, the government won't implement restrictions on those because of vested interests in maintaining their support. So buy all the battery and hybrid cars you want, perhaps a .3% difference in air quality can be achieved. |
