Are electric cars really the answer to America’s green house gas problem?

Although we may have a problem with the rise of green house gases, are our cars the biggest problem we have as a contributor to that? I feel that the idea of electric cars is a step towards helping our problem, but have we put into consideration a)how much a car of this stamina would cost a consumer b) how much the price of electricity will increase with more people becoming dependent on these cars c) the long term effects that these “new” electric cars will have, not only on our population but on the economy d) repair and maintenance for these vehicles e) the price of production….etc. I’m sure you understand what I’m getting at. Although the economy looks promising, the people who are making it that way are your head haunchos at large firms, not the blue collar workers who have to WORK to make things run smoothly. I feel that no ordinary person would ever feel comfortable enough to purchase a car as one of these “proposed” electric/hydrogen/bio-degradable corn syrup cars.
