The example given was a Prius with a 5 kWh battery that would allow the car to go about 40 miles on battery only. So he was saying that approximately 1 gallon of gas would emit the same pollution as 5 kWh of the nastiest coal power. Most power companies have cleaned up their coal by adding scrubbers and what not making the plants much cleaner.
As far as renewable power goes, the power company here has a couple of gas turbines sitting on the land fill right up the road and few others around the state. It isn’t much, but it is a start.
The power company is also trying to get two nukes permitted which I agree is the way to go unless renews can perform a miracle. They also have a coal plant they are fighting to get permitted for the immediate future.
