Axel the world is already moving towards electric cars and you are the only one in forum who doesn`t seem to realise it.

The process in steps is

1/. More efficient engines
2/. Hybrids with efficient engines
3/. Plug in hybrids
4/. All electric

This process will take 30-40 years to work through and to allow battery technology to catch up. Witness already the huge improvements in battery performance. Witness the introduction of supercapacitors. See "EESTOR" for where things are going. There won`t be any battery replacements, supercapacitors can charge in minutes.

Over the same time frame power stations will be approximately 50% renewable under Kyoto and your whole argument goes down the gurgler.
