I agree with this but not with this
So the car is the major source of environmental damage
I don't agree with this because even though the amount of emmisions are huge from both car engines and from electron generators the fact of the matter is that we produce more methane than both of those combind. I am going to try to dig up some figures on this, but just think about this example. In China thier are approx. 1,300 million people. If only say 1/3 of those own a car and you generate power for all the people right. That produces X emissions. But in order to feed these people china produces rice which is the staple food, Thus china must produce at least engough rice to feed thier own population (at least 650million kg a day if the average person eats .5kg of rice a day), and they also export a lot of rice, so already china produces more methane than CO2 and then if you take into account the amount of rubbish that these people generate thats thats aleast another 650 million kg of waste. And then thier is the livestock that produces methane and then their is the 1,300 million people farting each day. Just have a little think about that one. I hope that is easy to understand.
