I think there has been some improvements as far as moving towards "greener" solutions but some of them like ethanol made from Corn actually pollute more than gas. The solution is that even if we were to invent an electric car, the electricity would come from a coal powered plant defeating the purpose. I think nuclear energy is a great solution, clean and efficient. England uses nuclear power stations, but the waste they produce is dangerous. If properly stored it would not cause any harm I think. That's just my two-cents.
