They are often called "zero emission" - but really, it should be "displaced emission" 'cause most electricity in the country comes from burning coal. But that coal plant is not in the LA "bowl" so it doesn't contribute to the smog. Therefore, since it is located out of sight, it can't be causing any pollution. :) -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
