:There are many things which use electricity. Your computer, a factory which makes cars, and an electric car. All these do not produce pollution at the point where they use electricity - the pollution is generated earlier at the power station. All of these could be non-polluting if a renewable energy source were used. An electric car is no more or less naturally polluting than any of these. The fact that it could be made non-polluting if a non-polluting source were used says nothing about an electric car that could not also be said about the other electricity users. The idea that electric cars are automatically non-polluting is false. If there were a massive change in the electricity producing industry then they, along with your computer and the car making factory would be non-polluting.--[[User:British_cons|British_cons]] [[User_talk:British_cons|(talk)]] 04:02, 20 March 2007 (EDT) | :There are many things which use electricity.
