Unless you're made of money and opt to only get your juice from "green" sources like wind and huge solar arrays.

3 words: Hydrogen, fission and fusion.

You want a fission powered car? Yes, that's a good idea. Why have car-bombings when the car is a nuclear explosive itself! As for fusion (not fussion), well, Sandia's been doing some great work with X-Ray incited fusion, and the inertial fusion (think torus) people are also making great strides in theoretical fusion. However, my bet would be somewhere between 10 and 30 years before they can get it to the size of, say, a house, never mind a car's fuel tank.

rogue, fusionpower gets transmitted towards electricity.

So even if it takes 10 years to get it to the biggness of a house, even then it can be used as a reactor and infuse multiple households with power.

Most electricity is created by burning fossil oils. Nuclear power is a tiny fraction. Therefore, _effectively_, an electric car pollutes as much as a gasoline car. Perhaps even more, due to the inefficiency of transferring the energy through several forms.

If you're truly concerned about the environment, bike, or take public transportation. An electric car may not pollute directly, but it pollutes effectively. A hybrid, due to its fuel efficiency is probably far better for the atmosphere than the pure electric.

Once our sources for electricity are clean, the electric really will be clean as well. But for now, it's not.

I'm gonna quote someone who was very wise and had a great idea:

"Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. Here was an invention that allowed faster, longer journeys, allowed more cargo to be carried, and also improved man's health. Here was a marvel of engineering."
