Funny how these people think sometimes. Where do they think electricity comes from in America?
Coal, and to a lesser extent natural gas. Wind and hydro are almost noncontributory in the electric grid.

I would venture to say that the increase in electric usage then translated into more coal burned is more pollutant that the CO2 and H2O that comes from a properly functioning car.

For that matter ethanol is less energy dense than gasoline, so it is less efficient, and also all of that fertilizer and diesel fuel required to grow and harvest the corn is more pollutant than gasoline.

Dont get me started on all of theose spend batteries........

just my thoughts
