Yeah, I agree, electric cars are really lame. So, Musk, what power supply is at the other end of the electric gas pump? I'd guess some coal fired plant. That means your electric cars are indirectly causing global warming. Besides, look at the price of said electric cars. Kunstler is right here as well. We proles can't afford 'em. Mass transit is the only way out of this mess, sorry.
Yes and no. There was a series of US maps* that showed where each power option was the most cost efficient, least polluting and the most subject to change over time. In most places, hybrids do best, but in those areas that have the right energy mix, electrics rule.
* I looked for these, and no luck. They were drawn several years ago, so they may be obsolete.
