Yes, in many areas electricity is made by coal, this can and will change over time. As stated, you could produce your own electricity via solar panels or wind. Lastly, even if your assumptions were correct, it would still trade home grown power away from middle east oil production. You know, the "evil do'ers & smoke um out" people.

That is right, your local power plant, giving off tons more of this CO2 you babble about. Where do you think electricity to charge that thing is coming from.

Regardless, in respect to our nations sustainability, security, economy and our rivers, air and streams, wouldn't it be worth it to change our behavior anyway???

The earth tends to change slowly unless acted upon by something massive, IE meteor, massive volcano, comet, etc etc. The earths temperature does fluctuate as you have stated, but I wish you would spend the time to review scientific information suggesting your natural variation assumption is way off track of normal variations. We have the data of temperatures and CO2 for millions of years thru ice data. You have every right to believe anything you want.

Earths climate undergos NATRUAL variations. The SUN is a dynamic system and has massive impact on climate over 100's of human life spans. Example: 12,000 years ago New York was covered in Ice about 2 miles deep. All that ice melted due to natural climate variations. This banter about too much CO2 is rubbish, a tax grab and a research funding gravy-train. This big govt-bad science feedback loop needs to be broken.

I'm seeing that the nimh patent expires in 2015. If that means that only then we'll see electric cars proliferate, it's proof that: 1) Chevron are scumbags 2) Patents stifle innovation I'm looking at both the Exxon and Chevron pages on Wikipedia and I'm not seeing the link or that one owns the other.

I'm ok with temporary petrol based generator, but I want the engine to be electric. No more piston based combustion engines ever. I can drive my existing car for another 15 years (it's a Honda which isn't purposely sabotaged to have a limited lifespan like the gm's).

Plug in Hybrids are the answer. Thank you, I would be happy with any battery that would solve the problem. Plug in Hybrids are the answer.
