Environmentally speaking, the Model S is classed as a zero - emissions vehicle, but as most of the UK's domestic electricity is generated by fossil fuel - burning
power stations (as of 2014, about 30 per cent gas and 29 per cent
coal), every mile you
drive still has a CO2 consequence.

And, backed by science from James E. Hansen of «
coal death train» fame, Al Gore will spearhead the new
drive to save our planet by shutting down all
coal - fired
power stations in order to stop aerosol and particulate pollution that is hastening the man - made global winter.
