You should have read that article before recommending it, Dave:

"Even though we still generate a lot of energy from coal in the U.S., we have a lot of pollution control," Cherry said. He added that the United States has anti-pollution laws that China does not, which help moderate emissions here. "Our environmental protection laws have set thresholds [for pollution emissions], so what that did was force the power sector to adopt technologies to reduce emissions, such as scrubbers on smokestacks."

In summary, China's point-source pollution for generation of electrical power is worse than ours, but the author concludes that even over there:

"The silver lining of this is China has a lot of improvement that can happen, and when it does, electric vehicles will look a lot better," he said.

Hoist with your own petard, it seems. The lesson here is not to play with petards.

ah if it were true that it were only in China Mike, but then you already know it is not. Electric cars are not only not part of the answer they are actually worse overall.. but I am assuming you don't care, because if you did you wouldn't be for them.

Electric Cars Are An Extraordinarily Bad Idea - Forbes Just to add to Johns initial post. Funny thing, the more "advanced" tech gets the more headaches and potential headaches it causes.
