It is a matter of choosing the things that do the least amount of harm. Electric cars, from what I learned on that show last night, are a lot more efficient, so they are actually a much better choice. Not to mention the fact that we get most of our oil from countries that are hostile to us. No technology is going to be perfect, at least not anytime soon. We can only continue trying to move in the right direction with regard to ALL our energy resources, and to me, that means creating a lot more solar and wind and geothermal, etc. If we could get the government to sponsor a program where people could solarize their homes (where there is a lot of sun), or have individual wind mills (where there is high wind) at a reasonable cost, and sell the excess back to the grid, that is one way to help solve the problem. Less people getting energy FROM the grid, more people supplying energy TO the grid. Less need for big electric companies. More sustainable power for individuals, more empoerment for people. Less costly power. See what I mean? It would feed on itself, and in a good way. Honestly, I don't know why they haven't peoposed that yet. Over time, we might end up with practically free power for everyone.
