No one can deny that once built an electric vehicle is in most cases good for its immediate environment, and often in real terms to the owner cheaper to run for the daily commute than an normal car. However as illustrated by Steve Hainsworth's post most owners, and it appears a lot of politicians, are sucked into the blatant lie that the electric car they drive is also saving the planet when in most cases the painful truth is that they are, in big picture terms, causing more harm to the planet than the fossil fuel cars they replace.
Of course as has been pointed out we may soon make a big leap and come up with a solution to impact caused by this technology, and we know that something needs to be done about human impact on the planet. I believe the developed world needs to take a very close look at its economic model, how through its short term disposable policies it is feeding the pollution belching economies of developing countries, which is a massive problem, and how we deal with human population explosion.
