All manufacturing causes some sort of impact on the environment. I am hardly an environmentalist.
In fact, I'm pro-nuclear and think we should be building plants as it's the cleanest power around. With enough plants, charging electric cars wouldn't be a problem.
I'm not one to say we should only go electric...drive what you will. I drive a Camaro...I'm hardly concerned about gas milage, lol.
I think my point is that we shouldn't poo-poo alternative types of transportation either. I love the idea of drag racing with an electric car. But I also love drag racing with the Camaro too.
When the Tesla sedan comes out, I was considering getting one for around the town stuff. The range of these vehicles is getting better, and I'd consider running one just to save money on gas.
