i am a gcse student an right now i am curious. i am wondoring if electritic cars can solve are problem, because firstly were do we get are power from?

factories, and these cause fossil fuels to be burnt, and since more electricity will be needed so will more fossil fuels, and since more is burnt more air pollution, so are they really just moving the problem from cars and putting it all into factories?

so when the factories finally have to be shut down because of global warming then what will happen?

so are they just moving the problem but keeping the outcome, or am i missng something,

thanks,

Barry's Response - Johnny: No problem. The emissions just keep on coming out, even if they are simply relocated. So, if there ever was a global warming problem, electric cars running on carbon fuel-generated power shall do little if anything to solve it.

Everyone's afraid of nuclear energy. At least it will result in a great reduction of carbon emissions per unit of energy made available for our use, if that's what we really need.
