According to Argonne Lab a new study helps validate "the promise of PHEVs in the near-term, helping assure that research and development dedicated to the introduction and implementation of this technology is well founded."
Among other things the study also found that coal powered electricity for plug-in hybrid vehicles was a better solution than coal converted synthetic diesel, that biomass electricity for PHEVs was better than ethanol as a liquid fuel, and that solar and wind generated electricity for PHEVs was better than electrolysis for hydrogen (I'm sure my hydrogen-haters will love that point).
While I don't question the results of the study, I do wonder a bit if Argonne's pro-coal support isn't a bit coordinated with the government's current drive towards so-called clean coal, which they seem to be strongly supporting. For whatever reason I can't help but feel that PHEVs are being used by the government to first build support for coal, then nuclear power.
I love PHEVs, it's just the utilities I just can't seem to trust.
