As you may or may not know, the state of California has banned the sale of new gas-powered cars after the year 2035 and that matters to those of us who live in Missouri because whatever happens in California might be happening in the Midwest after we see how it works out for the people on the West Coast and I for one am looking forward to getting indoor plumbing.
EVs do have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline vheicles as only about 25% of eleticity from the grid is from coal power (and that number has been decreasing for a number of years). Natural gas, which emits fewer greenhouse gasses than coal, makes up about 40% of the grid and nuclear power (with almost no cardon foot print) is about 20% of the grid. Wind, solar, diesel, and hydroelectric make up the rest of the contribution ot the grid. This is not even taking in to consideration the fact that it is easier to limit emissions from a single large source like a power plant than from hundreds of thousands of individual cars.
TL;DNR: Electric vehciles have a lower carbon footprint even is some of the electricity is generated by coal.
Dude, seriously. What could have possibly made you exhume Hullabaloo? I had just recently, after many years of chemical enhancement and expensive therapy, finally forgotten junior high school and the lip-sync TV shows with bathtub dancers.
