I agree with your statement, but I don't think this is where fitfan was going. He was stating that autos aren't a leading driver of CO2 emissions, the power plants powering the buildings he referenced are. Autos are just an easy target, IMO.

And, ironically, where are most of the raw materials for batteries mined and the batteries themselves made - China; another country to which we really don't want our money going. We have to stop environmentalists from overruling sound energy and production policy if we want to stop the outflow of US dollars to countries who don't have our best interests at heart. Perhaps that's by design?
