If your house is made of any vinyl or plastic then no. A house made of only wood and wood products and it burned would be a carbon neutral event.
Good to know!
We need to march on Detroit and get them working on that car that runs on...love!
If I remember correctly from an article last year...this charger business was brought up in California. You had to buy the specialized charger which ran around $1k, but you had to pay an authorized electrician (by state law in Cal) to hook this up. This charger, by definition of state law there, required an industrial rate and separate hook up....because of more wattage being drawn....so your house electrical bill would have gone up significantly if you went in this direction. Whatever you think you saved from not using gas....you burned up fairly close the same amount from electricity.
Here’s the curious thing. I would imagine that if half the nation switched and at least one electric car per family....we’d need at least two dozen more power plants around the US and most folks would be paying in the $500 a month range for their house power and electrical power. If you bought into utility stock right now....in twenty years...you’d be making huge dividends every month and laughing over the profit of your stock over a twenty year period.

Actually, assuming oil is all biotic, then burning vinyl or plastic is carbon neutral also, if you look at it on a long-enough timescale.
