Personally I’m thinking nat gas is the way to go.

Here in Indiana I know electricity prices will go way up due to cap n tax because all our juice comes from coal.

We’ve switched the clothes dryer and range from elec to nat gas. Next new car I’m considering is one of the Hondas built here in Greensburg IN with the nat gas option.

We are talking about electric vehicles in a time when natural gas powered vehicles would be much more economical and practical. No need to create a new electric-delivery infrastructure from scratch or to add hundreds of nuclear fuel plants to provide the increased electrical demand. We should be awash in natural gas powered vehicles.

THe only problem with that 'clean' natural gas, is that it produces CO2 when it is burned, too. A BTU is a BTU, whatever you burn, you'll produce CO2 to get it.

Cap and tax will affect all energy not coming from hydropower, nuclear, solar or wind, and that means roughly 72% of power generation will be taxed, and all motor fuels.
