If the overlords were truly concerned about CO2 in the atmosphere, they would promote natural gas and nuclear as well as mandate every engine be a hybrid.
But of course we all know that CO2 reduction is not the objective.

It's not quite so simple. Considering that typical gas powered vehicles are only about 20% efficient in powering cars and that electric vehicles are near 80% efficient, the numbers favor the electric vehicles, even with today's electric generation system....and that system is getting more efficient all the time.
