While Electric/Hybrid cars do have reduced or "no" emissions the power they consume creates as much or more emissions as the cars would have created. Where does the electric you put into the Electric car come from? A coal burning electric power plant or a nuclear electric power plant? Oh wait a minute, the answer is hydrogen, well maybe not, and it takes more energy to produce the hydrogen than it takes to power the car with gasoline. I know I don't have the answer and I agree we need to find a better answer, don't assume that the "Clean - Electric/Hybrid Cars" are the answer.
