On: Electric cars neither as useful nor as green as their proponents claim

They forget to talk about noise pollution. Electric cars are extremal quiet, that's a huge bonus for big cities.

True, but unfortunatly blind people maybe not let the seeing keep the cars quiet.

I actually know a blind guy who walk around NYC based on sound. These quiet cars are going to produce noise soon or else interest groups will force them to by pushing for legislative action. http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/19/autos/electric_car_noise/ind...
