Even electric cars are powered by coal, since that's what generates most electricity.
Totally agree with you on that. I want to have a career in the energy industry to help develop technologies for renewable energy use for electricity.

I think a gas turbine engine has good potential if we can get over the engineering difficulties that come with them. Jaguar had it in one of their new concepts but I'm not sure if it was actually functional and running or not.
