The article mentions carbon footprints for electric cars and regular cars - what time frame does that cover?  Annual?  Monthly?  Daily?

According to this Edmunds article, in Washington state, the cost for electricity to drive 1000 miles in an electric vehicle is 2.5 cents per mile or $25 per 1000 miles which is significantly higher than the .9/mile or $9 per 1000 miles that Mr. Anderson claims (https://tinyurl.com/jn2d74j).

I think it's great the Brookses and the Andersons and others are trying to proactively champion the use of electric cars.  I think it would have been even better if Mayor Ray Stephanson (who is mentioned as championing the Kyoto protocol) had been asked what kind car he drives.
