Electric cars are not just a nuisance, they are a scam as well.

Bjorn Lomberg: Electric cars have a dirty little secret.

   "If a typical electric car is driven 50,000 miles over its lifetime, the huge initial emissions from its manufacture means the car will actually have put more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere than a similar-size gasoline-powered car driven the same number of miles. Similarly, if the energy used to recharge the electric car comes mostly from coal-fired power plants, it will be responsible for the emission of almost 15 ounces of carbon-dioxide for every one of the 50,000 miles it is driven—three ounces more than a similar gas-powered car."

So, you might as well buy that Dodge Charger SRT8, and burn rubber, because that isn't any worse than putting silently to the store in your Nissan Leaf.  That seems to me to be good news.
