Of our "alternative fuel" options, only electricity can truly be made renewably (wind, solar, geothermal, small hydro), with no carbon or other noxious emissions. We need to prioritize clean electricity generation and plug-in battery cars to utilize that energy efficiently. And only electric drive cars can operate truly zero-emission.
