China, EVs, And Coal

And not anything Saab at all.  Fine, whatever.  But if you create a state-sponsored reliance on electric cars subsidized by the power companies but the power is generated by burning coal, what have you accomplished?  China has boocoo problems with pollution and air quality, but electric cars are really not going to help.  China cannot support an American or European concentration of automobiles--nor can the planet.  Truly imaginative solutions are needed regarding growth and transportation in China.  Is China up to it?  Fuck no.
