Not more than 50% of the electricity is generated with eco friendly means, like solar and wind power.
The rest is generated with the use of fossil fuels, what would these people do if this would stop tomorrow? What will happened when their fridge only works 12 hours a day?
It's not that easy to get rid of fossil fuels and to change the whole system requires long term planning. Most people plan per month, i.e. when the salary comes in.

Electrical cars are hugely popular here in parts of Europe but most of them are company cars. Their owners drive them because of financial benefits. For example in Germany you have to add 1% of the cars value to your income, per month so 12% in total. With an electrical car however this is only 0,25% and for a hybrid this is 0,5% (if the car can go more than 50km on the battery). Choices are made on a financial basis, not because of the environment.

All batteries will die out, sooner or later. What will happen when a battery needs to be replaced and how will it be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way?
Or will a complete, still good, car be sacrificed?

I'm not convinced we're heading in the right direction, so for the moment I choose to run my car on petrol.
Despite the fact that we have 14 solar panels on our roof generating more electricy then we need.
