Plug-in hybrid vehicles and pollution

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.
