I always laugh at people who think that electric cars will give rise to cleaner air.


It does centralize the problem. Electric power plants exists to provide power for our things. And the car is one of those rare exceptions to the rule of having a centralized output location for CO2. Switch to electric, and the problem moves from being mobile to being centered at the power plant with everything else. It won't fix the problem now, but it allows the problem to be fixed along with the rest of our electric using devices if a power plant is replaced by a cleaner solution.
