Just popped in to say…

There will be those times when my posts will also carry views lambasting claims of a sure-fire solution to a green environment. What this blog advocates or the cause it espouses remains unchanged. But every so often or whenever an occasion presents itself, I will touch upon ‘the other side of the story’ as well. So, in the spirit of my above proposition I lay before you the views of a certain person - A comment I read somewhere, sometime back had this tub thumper :) ranting about how he ‘wants to puke’ each time he hears people referring to electric cars as ‘zero-emission’ vehicles. The sum and substance of his position - energy required to fuel these electric cars or plug-ins is not clean. He says most know only too well that almost half the electrical power produced for use in the US comes from burning coal which can’t be described as a clean energy source. And of the other half, over 20 percent is generated from burning natural gas and the remaining from nuclear energy. Damn interesting I’ll say!
