  I am pro environment. But I think that electric cars aren't a solution as the pollution due to their batteries is worth as CO2. Moreover the batteries industry is also more polluting that the petrol uptake and raffinery. Take a look at the batterie components : Lead, Sulfuric acid and so on! Heavy metals accumulate in all living organism and when widespread in the world you could imagine what would be our futur. It is the same with the catalytic exhaust silencer of our nowaday cars. It is made with Palladium, Nickel, Platinium and now as all the winds go to the poles we can observe huge amount of them in the living organism and now the Inuit can't feed with what they find there !!! Moreover catalytic is effective when the car is hot (that means after 30 min (less that 20% of our travels) and is very efficient only the 3 first months.

  Ecology isn't an easy thing.

  Actually do like me .. take your bike

  Best regards

  96% have voted towards Society leaning towards electric cars (including me), but all people on this site are pro environment, so the results will inevitably be biased.

  Edenbee is a great site though. Shame the home page is such a mess.
