Editor's Note -- This page is being updated, but still points to early plug-in studies regarding pollution. Stay tuned.
Every time I write about plug-in
hybrid vehicles, someone replies that electricity
might seem cleaner up front, but not when you factor
in the fact that large amounts of electricity are made
by coal, etc.
I thought the same thing when I first heard about
plug-ins. Since; however, I've learned about a few
studies, such as one by Argonne Laboratories, which
contradict the naysayers. According to science,
electricity - ALL THINGS CONSIDERED - is still cleaner
than refining oil into gasoline.
Plug-in hybrids certainly aren't the answer to
America's pollution or foreign oil dependency
problems, but they definitely offer another step
towards these goals and they also increase visibility
and momentum.
Equally as important, plug-in hybrids help drive more
competition and innovation into the advanced batteries
that hybrids use, escalating quality and performance
for all hybrid
vehicles.
According to the best scientific facts available,
plug-in hybrid technology helps hybrids further reduce
pollution and oil dependence. Until science
demonstrates otherwise, Soultek.com will continue to
promote plug-in hybrid technology.
