I was being facetious. I am completely in favor of electic transportation with central power generation.
I was pointing out the irony of the matter that most of the people affected by the pollution from industry and power generation tend to be poor because there's no way a wealthy neighborhood would ever allow anything to pollute their airspace. Cities like Louisville, KY have entire sections of the city that are predominantly poor folk and industrial plants. The wealthy folk can afford to move elsewhere or take the time to fight against bad things happening in their back yards.
