    If you had a wind energy contract, and an e-car, it would definitely help improve the environment. Granted, the electric grid collapses without the coal baseload, but if you use 1kw-hr of energy, the wind utility has to deliver 1 kw-hr on your behalf into the grid.

    Even with coal-powered generation, it is cleaner. It is more efficient (i.e. less carbon-output per mile) and reduces the amount of ambient air pollution (ozone, smog, etc.) in major populated areas. Most coal plants are in rural areas, where ambient air pollution is generally not a problem, and those plants have scrubbers and other pollution-mitigating mechanisms to reduce pollution. Greenhouse gas emissions are, of course, still a problem (which is why we need more subsidies for green energy, carbon tax, etc.), but it is a step in the right direction.

    Switching to these types of cars will be a HUGE help for cities like LA, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix, etc. where ambient air pollution from automobiles is a major problem.
