Electric Cars Won't Save the Planet

The conclusionsn of a new research study published in the Environmental Science & Technology journal indicate that significant adoption and use of hybrid and all electric vehicles will not make any measurable difference in revesing the increase of carbon dioxide and other pollutants in earth's atmosphere. The major conributor to atmospheric pollutants comes for fossil fuel consumption in electric power plants. Changing this source is the only action that will made much difference. While it may still be a good idea to transition to all-electric vehicles to move away for the dependence on oil, we need to focus on other energy generation technologies if greenhouse gasses pose the threat some scientists claim.
