The people who drive plug in cars as well never seem to realize that the vast majority of our electrical generation comes from fossil fuels.

It's not just those people, look at all the bike riders who ride around town on their bikes only to come home hot and sweaty and turn that big boy down to cool off.

One of my favorite convsertations of all time...

Blonde friend: We should drive electric cars. No more fossil fuels!

TA: Where do you think the electricity comes from?

Blonde friend: Out of the wall, duh!

there is a girl in my apartment complex that has a plug in hybrid with a no nuclear sticker on the back. She was bragging about the car at a party not too long ago and someone asked if she realized that she got the power to run her car from the nuclear power plant @ grand gulf? Her answer was my daddy has solar panels on his roof so she was good. The funny thing is she went to an ivy league school

Do they not realize it, or do they realize that power plants are more efficient at converting fossil fuels into usable power than engines are?

Also, electric vehicles don't care how the electricity was generated, so it could be hydro, solar, nuclear, whatever. Electric cars are a necessary first step to long-term energy independence.
