Car sharing is great - I have 3 BMWs but there are times when I still need to use the car-share here. Too bad they only have 2-seaters here (Smart cars) as it would be handy for taking both my kids from time to time.

Still not 100% convinced on the overall carbon footprint of an electric car over gas/diesel. Is there any stats/video out there that has directly compared the benefit of electric cars over gas (including the battery manufacture/disposal aspect)? I can't imagine if there were millions of battery operated cars out there all aging and being dumped/replaced... like all those people who keep junker cars in their barns/backyards - wouldn't there be leaking battery acid and problems like that to contend with?
