The emission from a combustion vehicle as opposed to energy made in plants are completely different.
Unless you're using coal.

Yes, there are some differences, but also many similarities. (assuming non-Nuclear energy) Both rely on combustion of fossil fuels, and after Bush's de-regulation, plants can do a ton of environmental damage.
