Well, the efficency of a coal plant can be quite high... while the efficency of car engines is quite little...

But as I see it, electrical cars and electricity are simply the cheaper way of traveling in the near future.

And the reason cars are being put in the focus, is because oil is really getting incredible expensive...

Of course I think that from a ecological & ecconomic perspective, alternertives to oil heatings must be pushed.
It doesn't help alot if cars have zero-emmisions as long as peoples homes burn several hundred liter of diesel every year.

Alternative heatings and low-energy buildings are being subsidized in germany, but people too often choose extra livingspace over energy efficency with they result that they pay twice or three times as much for energy per year.
