Chinese Comparison: CO2 Emissions of Plug-In Hybrid and Gasoline Cars Based On Grid Power Sources.

1. Didn't read the whole thing...

I think the real transportation tragedy in China (brought on by increased wealth and a desire to emulate the Western lifestyle) has been the growth in cars in their cities, regardless of the energy source (be it gasoline, coal or the sun). Bikes just make so much more sense in areas with high population density. I do appreciate your consistent denunciation of car CULTure. The bicycle is the most energy efficient transportation mode available, and the health benefits are another huge plus (or would be if it weren't for the dangers posed by car cultists negligently navigating their land cruisers - and now, distracted by their phones).

Also... nice to have the analysis, but hardly a surprise given their energy mix.
