The energy comes from either oil-coal or nuclear plants, which are worse in terms of environmental risks. The amount of energy from renewable sources in car production is negligible.
google is your friend.

I don't own an SUV. I have a truck though. Unfortunately the Prius is not able to replace it. I use the truck to haul heavy items, pull a heavy trailer and drive off-road. The Prius is unable do any of these things.
Almost exactly 0% of people, who buy a Prius, replace a SUV with it. More likely it is an old Volvo or Toyota, that is being replaced.
You don't see a lot of things, that's what makes poking and prodding your half-baked knowledge so amusing.
It may exceed the requirements of most drivers, but it doesn't exceed mine. But even econoboxes like a Golf 1.8t get acceleration times of 8s or less for 0-60.
Who Says Cars Aren't an Investment 4135No reason it couldn't at least theoretically. And while nuclear energy is not renewable, it's practically infinite. Therefore, the energy needed to make an automobile is negligible, if you are including powering the...
It has saved my skin in at least 2 situations, so it was a good investment.
Who Says Cars Aren't an Investment 4134Nuclear power has negligible risk. It kills fewer people than mining coal does, and it also releases alot of air pollution. It's hardly the best solution, but we don't live in a...
I can butture you I am a much better driver than you are (at least if your clueless rants here are an indication) and that unlike you I know how to drive a sportscar properly, i.e. safely.
Some people need to justify their car purchase, of course they will claim they get better fuel mileage. And that the EPA tests are often very far off the mark, especially in economy cars, is a well known fact, that in a decade or so will filter even into your brain.
You need to look up the difference between the word 'torque' and the phrase 'a lot of torque. You may have learned the definition of the former by rote or just looked it up, you have no idea, what the latter is, though.
Don't worry, a lot of 18-year-olds like you think they know everything, and they usually grow out of it, when they start accumulating some real knowledge. And as one has invested much too much money in some rattely diesel fuel economy becomes the center of the universe and every argument is measured by how well it supports the buttertion that the world revolves around the number on your last gas bill.
