And... The plug-ins that are powered by nuclear power plants? Albeit only 30% (or so), what about those?

IN australia we are about to reach capacity ..... unless government invest heavily in new plants next 20 years

Stop listening to the media my friend.

You may be right, I have no sources to back this up, the discovery channel or something. Believe me, I am not a proponent of coal burning anymore then oil burning. Point is: we HAVE to find something else. Is it wind? Solar? Fission? Nuclear? Better battery electric? Whatever, at least electric is an investigation in to something and must be considered. If it proves to be no less-polluting then gas cars, and not really more energy efficient, then on to the next.
