One reader sent me this from Slate.

I had already bookmarked several similar links, like these:

As Bjorn Lomborg deftly explains in an op-ed for today’s Wall Street Journal, even newfangled electric cars leave a rather substantial carbon footprint:

If a typical electric car is driven 50,000 miles over its lifetime, the huge initial emissions from its manufacture means the car will actually have put more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere than a similar-size gasoline-powered car driven the same number of miles. Similarly, if the energy used to recharge the electric car comes mostly from coal-fired power plants, it will be responsible for the emission of almost 15 ounces of carbon-dioxide for every one of the 50,000 miles it is driven—three ounces more than a similar gas-powered car.

Not only that, but America’s electric grid may not be up to the challenge of supporting just one electric plug-in vehicle per family (and most families own more than two cars). From Scientific American:

Adding a plug-in car to the grid is equal to about a third of a house, Kjaer said. And because early adopters are likely to spring up in geographic concentrations, that could mean overloaded transformers at the distribution level or plug-in cars potentially causing power outages.
