Not so in China, India, and Russia. India has had a breeder-reactor prototype under construction for about two decades, von Hippel says. The new breeder reactors in China, meanwhile, are demonstration projects, the second step in a three-step program to develop fast breeder reactors to reduce the country’s dependence on coal.

China +8%, India +6.2%). The poor improvements in carbon intensity were caused by an increased share of fossil-fuel CO 2 emissions produced by emerging economies with a relatively high carbon intensity, and an increasing reliance on coal. Similar figures apply to USA, Japan, France, Germany, and most other industrialized nations.

However, by 2040, China and India are expected to increase their levels by more than 500%.

That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.
