I've said this since day 1, it just moves where the pollution is created. Creating the batteries for a tesla is more pollution than the average petrol car (I'm unsure about diesel). Where's the electricity coming from? Mainly pollution based production farms. Hydrogen is still the correct way to address the environmental issues caused by petrol, diesel, and other pollutants,(reply>), That's what all "green" tech does. Solar cells are an ecological disaster of their own, but since most solar cells are made in China, that ecological disaster happens in China, and nobody in the US cares.
