The plug in car is a fantasy, you still have to pay for electricity to
charge the batteries. So no matter what you do you are going to use at
least a little bit of fossil fuel. Every electric company in this
nation buys and sells power from someone else. And most are fossil
fueled plants.
Until someone comes up with a viable fuel cell car, we are all
handcuffed to petroleum based fuels. Even the new hybrids, have a gas
engine.
