- ax0n 16y agoFor the most part, that's true. It's mostly localized. Seattle, for example, gets nearly 89% of its electricity from hydro, and another 9% or so from nuclear and wind. In places like that, pure electrics start to make a lot of sense. There's still the issue with how the batteries are built, shipped and disposed of, most of which would make many green consumers turn pale with discontent.
