I never said they were equal in energy greeness. I just said not to herald them as a green miracle like some people do. Personally I'm for the idea of electric cars if for nothing more than taking power away from OPEC. That said I'm still a realist and don't like to live in fantasies
Oh god don't get me started on solar. That's one of the dirtiest forms of energy production. Not to mention the least efficient. People think solar is clean because the actual conversion of energy is clean, but nobody ever looks at how they are made. Take a look at the nasty ass chemicals and toxic wastes that come from solar panel production and disposal. And this is a huge factor considering solar panels only have a lifetime of ~15-25 years at best. IMO the only clean energy sources are wind, tidal, and CANDU nuclear power.
