"No plan B" for failure at Copenhagen (Yvo de Boer)

I dont see what the problem is with going electric. We have electric motorcycles ( Zero motorcycles ) LIFE ( initial fusion energy system ) plans like Agassi ( a bold plan for mass adoption of electric cars ) cars like Hondas prius. I can go out now and purchase an electric drill with all the components and power that IF scaled up and adapted would be a perfect engine for a car that would cost very little to run. I just cant see what the hold up is

Ture electric is good, but where i live, our electricity consits of 50% nuclear (Toxic Waste and Co2) 30% oil, coal and natural gas (Co2) and then the rest renewables. So even if we all went electric in my community there would still be around half of the electricity resulting in co2 emissions. But were getting more renewable every day so hopefully electric will soon be a positive option.
