Unproven article. What if the electricity was produce via solar panels? Or if sonar panels on your home recharged the PHEV? Or if the wind turbines produced the electricity?

Re: Plug-in cars could actually increase air pollution
An interesting study by ORNL was published...
"Potential Impacts of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles on Regional Power Generation"

Michigan Public Service Commission is studying the effect of PHEVs on the power grid. Some of the articles I found on Google news used the word "investigation", implying some sort of nefarious activity on the part of rogue bandits with PHEVs.
As I read the press release, it seems the MPSC is behaving prudently by studying the effects and seems very encouraging and supportive of PHEVs plugging in.
