It's my understanding that coal produces more electricity in the US than any other single source. Given that -- if it's accurate -- do electric cars makes sense from a green prospective?
"Rumor has it that the next James Bond flick, the sequel to Spectre, is called Teslaball. In this financial thriller Bond faces his nemesis, the insane industrialist Elon Muskfinger, who is plotting to control the lithium supply of the entire world. That way, he can lower the production costs of his ugly little cars and save his company, Teslaball. On the surface, it looks dire for the major US auto manufacturers, until Q breaks into Teslaball’s balance sheet and discovers the equivalent of a financial nuclear time bomb for the electric car company, which has been hemorrhaging capital at an unsustainable rate since day one. When Muskfinger finally fails to sustain the pace of the ludicrous media attention he believes has been covering for his company’s atrocious financials, he abducts Bond’s girlfriend, Europenny, and splits for the Alps where he maintains the last of his secret Swiss bank accounts. It all ends badly for Muskfinger, when Bond runs him over in a gas-guzzling, but incredibly sexy Aston Martin (which every guy on the planet wants), rescues Europenny (who works for GM 6, the industrial-espionage arm of a real car company that has better things to do than waste their time with oddballs like Muskfinger), and prepares for his next adventure, Twitterfall."
