By comparison, Chinese per capita CO 2 emissions of 6.8 Between 1990 and 2010 they reduced their dependence on coal (from 25% to 20% of total energy production) and oil (from 38% to 36.5%), and shifted towards natural gas (which increased from 23% to 27 %), nuclear energy (from 8% to 9%) and renewable energy (from 6.5%

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.

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
