Myself, I think that the electric car, while not perfect, is just around the corner and will kill a great deal of gas emissions.
In Quebec, and small parts of Western Europe, where electricity is a fairly clean, re-newable resource, yes, it will. In most of the rest of North America, and Europe, and Asia, and Africa, where electricity is generated by burning oil, or natural gas, or *shudder* coal, the electric car won't change a goddam thing, unfortunately.
