The biggest problem tho is pollution. In many parts of the country you put more pollution in the air by charging an electric car than burning gasoline.
Do you have any statistics or calculations to back that up? The two might be close in a city that gets electricity only from coal and comparing the electric car to a new hybrid.
I personally don't see air pollution as the biggest challenge facing this country at the moment, but there is devastating environmental destruction involved in farming these resources-- not even talking about occasional events like nuclear meltdowns and off-shore drilling disasters.
