Nuclear.....5%
Coal........12%
Natural Gas.43%
Renewable...2%
Petroleum...23%
So, in theory, 97% of the juice used to charge that car will come from non-environmentally friendlily source of power. Or, 78% of sources producing carbon dioxide (exuding nuclear, renewable and hydro)
Way to go morons!

People still don’t get it that electricity has to be “produced”. And this is costing us double because it’s all subsidized via stealing the money from the producers via “standards”.
Oh wait, I know, the K-Compound banned them.
Or, you could say that 77% of the energy used in EVs won’t come from imported oil.
It’s my take that the electric vehicles were not intended to be charged at work or on the road.
They were intended to be charged at home. If that’s not good enough, then people should refrain from buying them.
This charging station idea is silly.
Let’s see... according to the industry, it takes on average 16 hours to recharge one of these duds. Just how are people going to get to and from the recharging stations while the cars are charging? Yes! Gasoline-powered taxis and public transportation! It’s a worth a trip out to the center of liberal lunacy just to walk around and talk to people, see the charging stations, talk to the college students, etc. Recommended: wear gloves.
I guess these places will have waiting lounges.. or are people supposed to sit in their cars for three hours while their go cart gets a charge..? Ridiculous.. simply ridiculous.
“WMECO President Peter Clarks soaring gasoline prices and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions make it clear the electric vehicles are a key component of the future of transportation.”
Whatta moron. Investors in WMECO need to drag this idiot into the street, tar and feather him and run him out of town. These elitist, thieving, trough slopping pigs are really starting to irritate me.
I keep forgetting how much New England still depends on oil for heating and other stationary uses. I think the nationwide figure is in single digits.
So instead of fuelling their cars with gasoline, they will be using fuel oil. Brilliant. Must be Harvard grads.
You’ve never been to the Five College area, have you? It is certain that after these stations are built, the professional Marxist gangsters out there will “liberate them for the people.” The electric company will be forced to provide the service for free. And not a word will be spoken about how much extra coal will have to be burned at the power station to provide the extra electricity.
