Is there anything that the global warming alarmist won't blame for global warming? These eco-terrorists pushed for the electric car and now it looks like we have another unintentional consequence of praying to the mythical Gaia-god.

From Forbes.com:

Electric cars are not a silver bullet solution for global warming, but could they actually be part of the problem?  In some developing countries, the answer is likely "yes," according to the results of a modeling exercise conducted by Oxford University's Reed Doucette and Malcolm McCullocha.

The results, which appeared in a paper published in Energy Policy last Fall, found that for countries with dirty power supplies – like India and China – widespread adoption of electric vehicles could lead to more – not less – CO2 emissions compared to widespread adoption of gasoline based vehicles, unless dramatically less CO2 intensive.

Notice you never hear global warming alarmist speak about getting rid of the number one source of CO2 gas emissions? That would be plants.

"Given the state of their power generation mixes in 2010, the case for widespread adoption of [electric vehicles] in both China and India solely on the basis of potential CO2 emissions reductions is not too compelling, especially when the generally higher capital cost of [electric vehicles] relative to [gasoline]-based vehicles is considered," Doucette and Malcolm McCulloch concluded.
