WetEV said:Alric said:I am not optimistic about Mueller's results and public appearances. He was interviewed by democracy now and it was obvious Mueller shills for natural gas and “clean fracking” by using a fallacy of the middle. He even says that EVs are regular cars if powered by coal. A myth debunked by the union of concerned scientists.
EVs powered by coal are slightly better in CO2 release to the best hybrids when powered by oil. Few places have 100% coal power. EVs are about twice as good if the hybrid is powered by synfuel produced from coal.
I'd far rather run on Wyoming coal than Ali Hosseini Khamenei's oil, even if it wasn't cleaner.

only because that is what we choose to do...or rather; that is what Big Coal has chosen FOR US. your statement ignores the fact that we do have the technology to clean up coal. all we need is the money but the problem with that is Big Oil aint willing to give up any of its massive share.
and first part of your statement does not apply all over the country (and that part of the country is shrinking daily) but the 2nd part of the statement does.
