Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. The first eye-opener for large scale solar was the Austin Energy PPA last year that was priced at 5 cents.

China, the world’s largest producer of hydrogen at upwards of 25 million tonnes a year, derives 62 percent of its total from coal, which creates 18 to 20 kg of CO 2 per kg of hydrogen. A massive substation at the coal-fired Intermountain Power Plant in Utah links the facility to transmission lines that deliver power to southern California.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. “Electric vehicles could be connected to the grid and could store energy at times when too much is produced

Then consider that in order to actually go any farther than the neighbood store, one still had to have ANOTHER car. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. run the hardware store and buy a new one. They make them all wrong. but even that is wrong.
