"All-electric cars may pollute more than gas-powered cars ..."
http://www.sltrib.com/news/1951784-155/story.html
Of course they fail to mention the entire fueling aspect of pollutants for gas powered cars (oil drilling, fracking, refining, transporting gasoline, etc., etc.) versus using the electric grid so STILL an incomplete picture for 'real' comparison. More and more municipalities are actually closing the really old power plants that used the worse type of coal that pollutes the most and converting to wind, natural gas, etc. but failed to mention that as well. Hopefully we'll get some pundits (eventually) that take a closer look at the bigger picture but as always, each region will be different and I've already seen more informed info than this study ... it's unfortunate that some would assume this is the whole picture.
