When the idea originally came out, Eco-friendly crazed people everywhere were most likely estactic about the idea.  I mean electric cars needing no gas whatsoever?   This just has to be perfect for our environment, right?  Apparently, according to The Week,  “research suggests that you have to drive an electric car a long, long way for it to be greener than a gas-guzzling vehicle.”  Wow, really?  Why?  Well these electric cars produce just as much carbon in the engines.  Because these cars batteries need to be replaced it pretty much throws “greener” out the window.  I guess natural gas is the way to go for these cars to be effective, wouldn’t you say?

What do you think electric cars are good for the environment?  What are your thoughts and opinions on this discovery that they are not really good or beneficial for the environment?
