Please don’t do that.

You are correct that their bike or car is ultimately coal powered, but even in the case of coal powered, the electric car still has a smaller carbon footprint than a gasoline motor. Just as important, the electric grid need not be coal powered forever and the electric car will still work.

OK, now compare a human powered bicycle to an electric one.

That’s my point.
