"...the document assumes that humans are causing the climate to change, an assumption for which there is no proof..." Wow, remember when the argument that there was no proof that global warming was actually happening? Now the argument is that it isn't caused by humans. What's next? "Global warming isn't caused by Americans!", "Global Warming is caused by people in the mid-west.", "Global warming is caused by neighbor"? The last I checked there was a 97% agreement among climate scientists that humans were causing Global Warming. Or is a statistical study of published peer-reviewed papers not a good indicator scientists agree on a given subject? Google 'Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature' (now that's a mouthful!)

Google 'state of charge union of concerned scientists' and you'll find a PDF document that is a study of an Electric Vehicles’ (EV) emissions and costs. Page 37: "Over the lifetime of an EV, the owner can save more than 6,000 gallons of gasoline" Page 17:"a typical midsize EV could save nearly $13,000." Page 11:"There are no areas of the country where electric vehicles have higher global warming emissions than the average new gasoline vehicle." Page 37:"Nearly half of Americans live in regions where driving an electric vehicle means lower global warming emissions than driving even the best hybrid gasoline vehicle available."
