I get a kick out of all the emphasis, praise and glory that electric vehicles
get. Just yesterday there was a glowing piece on NPR about new electric trucks
introduced at LA and Longbeach ports. Everyone was just drooling over how
GREEN everything was. Lots of folks there patting themselves on the back.
Perhaps they didn't read the bit about the electricity that they use being
generated by coal-fired power plants. Electric vehicles just transfer the
source of the pollution away from the wealthy, artsy neighborhoods to the blue
collar neighborhoods where the power plants were built! That's right.
There's no free lunch.
