GM Spokesperson admits energy to charge cars comes from coal

Yes ICE power comes from refining oil. But then so do tires, plastics, lubricants, medicines, rayon/Dacron and just about all clothing/cloth not made from cotton or wool. Those who want to eliminate oil know not what they will give up. We may not need fossil fuels but we will still need oil and by products. I wonder if they can refine oil to get the valued products without also making gas or diesel and if not, what do they do with it?

As far as coal, can’t make good quality steel without it.

EV’s are the near future for personal transportation. The jury is still out for ocean going vessels, trains in remote areas, big earth movers, and long haul trucks in actual use.

Project much? I will take one guess at your political party. Only a right winger with limited fact exposure would believe claim or refer to the banning of all petroleum products.
No one of normal intelligence has ever claimed or alluded to anything near that idiotic statement
The goal is to reduce burning petroleum products as much as practical, they're use in thousands of other products will continue and more than likely expand.

Sorry. I don't get it. According to your apparently all encompassing title, we in the northwest will never own electric cars because we don't have coal power.

Electric IS the future. Quit trying to poopoo it.

Well electricity isn’t provided by ferry dust!

That's the beauty of EV. Electricity can be generated in multiple ways.
However gasoline comes from only one source.
