Why is Electricity an Alternative Fuel?  [04/11/2010]

Pumping electrons instead of liquid fuel makes for a different kind of alternative fuel.


Even though the vehicle itself produces zero pollutants, when emissions from the power generating stations from traditional sources (coal, oil-fired or nuclear) are factored in, battery powered electric cars still produce less than 10 percent of the emissions of standard internal combustion engine cars. Add to that the fact that every year more wind and solar generating stations are coming online—making clean electricity more available and accessible. In addition, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles create their own electricity with no emissions at all. Electricity may just be one of the alternatives that could help power your lifestyle, joining thousands of people who have already made the switch.

This power source has much promise, but is heavily dependent upon breakthroughs in the development of longer lasting more economical and efficient batteries, in addition to further research to make fuel cells practical.
