The future is electric………….
#31
Quote:The electricity is generated somewhere that creates emissions (burning fuel, build and decommission of the power station/wind turbine etc)
The build and transportation of the car/bike
Disposal of the car/bike

All of the above create emissions its just the greeny people like their car to not produce gas as it moves around the town centre and countryside.
It’s about decarbonisation.  It’s about zero, or near zero carbon emissions. The electricity industry is making some progress in becoming carbon neutral.  A near 100% carbon free electricity industry is possible.  Electric cars do not burn fossil fuel, therefore they do not emit CO2.
Quote:Don't want to keep banging on but.... not emission free.
So yes electric cars are essentially emission free.


And we don’t have a choice.  We need to de-carbonise our economy as fast as we possibly can.  My fear is we are doing it at a fraction of the speed we need to do it.  Progress is hopelessly slow.
