"Study: ‘Green’ cars might cause as much or more pollution than gas cars"
At this point in time, "green" cars are costly and "feel good" in nature.
In the future, I'm sure they will be more viable...
Recently, at DailyCaller.com, Jessica Stanton wrote about a recent study:
"The researchers compared the overall life-cycle impact of petrol or diesel-powered cars and electric vehicles and concluded that the latter can significantly damage the climate. 'The global warming potential from electric vehicle production is about twice that of conventional vehicles,' the report said. 'It is counterproductive to promote electric vehicles in regions where electricity is primarily produced from lignite, coal or even heavy oil combustion.' Batteries and electric motors are composed of minerals like nickel, copper and aluminum, which are toxic."
