There are more than 220,000 hybrid cars on the roads of America, delivering real health and environmental benefits. Electric cars are cleaner than vehicles that run on oil, even when charged with coal-fired power. In the last two years electric car sales have gone up by 500 percent. Ten years ago, there were only two hybrid car models available, but now there are close to 50.
