I was not under the impression that you were advocating fracking either. Here's what we might be able to agree on:

-Small gasoline-powered reciprocating engines (read: car engines) are highly inefficient

-Electric cars may pose a better solution, as the electricity may be generated either by clean sources or at the very least by burning fossil fuels in a more efficient manner than in each automobile engine

-A clean grid powered exclusively by non-nuclear renewable energy sources is not feasible in the near future

-We are wiling to make some aesthetic sacrifices in order to supplement the grid with renewable energy sources such as wind farms
