I didn't vote because their wasn't an option for "I don't know."
How toxic and bad for the environment are the batteries? How is the energy for the electricity produced? If it is primarily based on let's say coal plants then is this energy cleaner than petro burned in a modern cars engine? How does finding, recovering, and refining crude oil fit into this equation? I can make guesses, but the truth is that I don't have a clue.
It also occurs to me that the push for electric vehicles really might be about lessening the influence of oil producing regions such as the Middle East, Venezula, and Russia. Once again, I really don't know.
I don't trust what I'm told by the government; I don't trust big business; I don't trust the mainstream media; and I find environmental advocates are willing to turn a blind eye to facts when they don't agree with their preconceived agenda.
