A very small amount of power in most countries is generated by renewables. Electric cars are of little use in reducing pollution until this changes, no?

So then the focus should be on sustainable energy sources, yeah? Which is difficult when you're trying to build a wind farm and you've got a pack of pretentious twits faffing on about their diminished property values and the fact that way in the distance they can see tiny little windmills and so their view is obstructed.

It borders on surreal that you said exactly that. I live in a village with a nearby wind farm planned, the residents association have decided to obstruct the product with me the only (public) pro-wind inhabitant. (They cited those exact reasons. I'm thinking of applying to join the association and hijacking it in the name of environmentalism. )
