Totally? Well, burning gasoline at a large-scale facility is a bad idea because you might as well burn something that's easier to produce. But energy is energy, and more than two-thirds of yours goes out your tailpipe. And that's not counting the inefficiencies just to run on gasoline. Or diesel.

Of course the batteries are the real problem. And not just disposal but also production. Hmm.. perhaps someone will come up with a better battery design. Think someone might pay for one?
