You are serious, wow, how incredibly naive. I don't know those folks here but do know a neighbor that has an electric Honda. When I pointed out the power here comes from a coal powered plant she blinked her eyes three or four times and said "Oh." The context of the conversation was my offering to till her garden space with a gasoline powered tiller; she declined my offer initially but changed her mind after 6 hours or so of hand work with a shovel.

I suppose 2 hours of gasoline exhaust produced less green house gases than the 6+ hours of her manual labor ;-)
