From Power Line, we get the following observation. Guess What: Electricity Isn’t Free
One of my favorite indicators of ignorance are the people who buy personalized license plates, or affix stickers, for their electric cars that say “Emission Free.” Even if you ignore the enormous environmental impacts associated with manufacturing an electric car (which are significantly higher than a gasoline-powered car), if you live in a state that generates a lot of its electricity from coal, you are essentially driving a coal-powered car.
And in Europe, electricity is becoming more expensive, to the point were that "expensive gasoline" is actually cheaper.
That price range is three- to -four-times higher than the average cost of electricity in the U.S. Still want to copy Germany’s energy policy?
