Green or greenhouse?

Before we get too poetic about electric cars let's think about the most powerful known greenhouse gas that has been leaking into Earth's atmosphere due to the 'green energy boom'.

Sulphur hexafluoride, or SF6, is widely used in the electrical industry to prevent short circuits and accidents.

It is 23,500 times more warming than carbon dioxide (CO2), and just one kilogram warms the Earth as much as 24 people flying London to New York return.
