  • AIR POLLUTION IN CHINA/EV AUTOS

    Great information about the EV autos in China. But the comment that pollution in Beijing will be impacted by EV autos—I wonder if that is realistic. I was in China in 2013 and the air pollution was horrible. Isn’t the air pollution really caused by the multitude of coal-fired power plants which China is adding in quick succession? And China is not advocating nuclear power plants. I would like your opinion on this issue.
