I think it's a positive step that may work out. As far as more power plants being built? I don't see it that way for any kind of foreseeable future. I see it more as getting the most out of the power plants we have now. Power plants produce emissions, cars produce emissions. Now, if we have cars that don't produce emissions, that's a positive step. It's not like there's going to be thousands of these cars by this time next year, or the next. We aren't even in the infancy of this type of technology. I think it's worth a try, and we'll see how it goes. Believe me, your points about hydroelectric are well taken. I have been gritting my teeth for decades over the inability and/or unwillingness to get effective fish ladder technology installed in every dam we got. There used to be a phrase, "Well, we can put a man on the moon, why can't we...." That's how I feel about our dam system. But, there they are, and they don't have a smokestack, so at least that's something. I, obviously have no idea where you live. Where I live now doesn't have a smog problem, but I have lived in several places where there was. I'm not going to get on a global warming rant (here, at any rate), but anyone who has seen shots of L.A., Tokyo, NYC or any other urban area when they are under an ongoing smokescreen will agree, something's got to give. If not for the planet, then for the health of the citizens who live there. Perhaps Green Cars are a selective solution for certain areas. I just think that it's worth a try.

Usually its the last, with building huge dams turning huge ecosystems like flowing rivers and forests into big lakes. "Green Cars" is just some mental greenwashing for eco egos who dread the thaught of living without cars, or reducing it, or even considering it. "Green Cars" are filed just as "Organic Meat" in the BS section. Michael, thanks for the response.

We got hydro-electric where I live. But, as far as conventional power plants go, if there are going to be emissions, we should get the most we can out of them. I mean, it's not like they are going to be emitting any less without electric cars getting plugged into them. Not all power plants. We got hydro-electric where I live.
