no but i remember that from last year. everyone has their a/c on and it inevitably stresses the system.

It's a good thing that the city is buying electric cars...that won't add any stress to the system.

buying electric cars is not a green thing to do unless the charging stations are solar powered.

Most electricity comes from coal--coal is dirty.

Therefore all these supposed green electric vehicles are not environmentally friendly at all--- because most people plug them into their existing electrical grid----what a scam.

I think he was being sarcastic, inpixels.

yup I know.

@jml ---interesting but I wonder if they are considering the coal refining process and distribution network

I bet they are playing with the numbers.

I bet they are referring to local impact where you are actually driving your car and the surrounding emissions -- here in Brooklyn. But there is a carbon footprint that has to be considered throughout the distribution/delivery process before it is finally converted into electricity here in Brooklyn (or wherever it is that you charge and drive your car)
