the only thing green energy does is shift the fumes to another place, and always increases them substantially in net

electric cars smell less, and make less noise, but hybrids get better mileage, and don't even need non-extinguishable, fire-prone lithium batteries

now that i live in a windy, very hilly landscape, i'm of the opinion that for this environment, hybrids and electrics are awesome, and partly because of the noise factor, but partly because of the smell, but the wind takes that damage out pretty good

for all cases, i think hybrids are the best, using diesel engines, and this is the rightful place to put garbage like rapeseed oil and sunflower seed oil, not in our food, and use the mineral diesel for use cases that are far from people, eg boats, trains and aircraft

and i also think that steel rails are far more efficient, quiet and low maintenance than asphalt roads, but they are not so good on hills

electric trains are much higher maintenance and net cost than diesels

any answer to things that doesn't take into account the circumstances that the technology is to be applied in is an incomplete answer
