Electric power is generated mainly by burning fossiles just as a simple car engine only a bit more efficient. Delivering electric power has losses. Electric motors are not 100% efficient also. (Not mentioning huge batterie banks full of acids, lead and other "environment-friendly" materials.)<br>The only thing which is good to the environment is NOT burning fossiles. Like building more wind power generator.CreateWed, 20 Jun 2007 02:28:50 -0000
