Undoubtedly. I was just going of the current notions.
The link makes sense in that "wells-to-wheels" is the best comparable stat. I'll have to give the paper (linked by the article) a reading later...I'm curious how bad the refining process from the well to usable gasoline is if it becomes close to the equivalent of that extra conversion process.
Hopefully the price goes down as well. It'd be nice if the combination of the two (cleaner power plants, cheaper cars) propagates the use of electrical cars as time goes on...it makes sense overall.
