	<abstract><![CDATA[<p>Here are two interesting points: electric motors are inherently more efficient (and simpler) than internal combustion engines (ICE), and it is far easier to produce green electrons than it is to produce green gallons of liquid fuel. Both augur well for an increasingly electrified transportation system. </p>

<p>The first point is incontrovertible: electric motors can easily reach <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle">an energy conversion efficiency of 90%</a>, while ICE's have an efficiency <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine#Engine_Efficiency">of around 20%</a>. Simply put, that means that for a given...</p>]]></abstract>
