Well because it's 90 percent efficient vehicles will emit 10% the amount of CO2, but the thing is all the CO2 eventually gets emitted, just more slowly. That might be ok if we weren't already at the world's carrying capacity for CO2, instead we need to be drastically reducing our emissions this is just an expensive stopgap measure that keeps us digging up carbon. As others have pointed out we're not just burning the Amazon, we are burning all the Amazons back through geological time.

>As others have pointed out we're not just burning the Amazon, we are burning all the Amazons back through geological time.
