   You could do just that if it were not for the fact that most electricity in   
   North America comes from fossil and nuclear fuels.  The amount that comes   
   from renewable sources amounts to a tiny little fraction.  So go ahead, buy   
   that electric car, you can plug it in with the satisfaction that you're only   
   98% as polluting as combustion-powered cars.
