Which method of fueling your car is likely to be more energy efficient, and why: gasoline used in a standard car engine or electricity taken from a coal-fueled generating plant and stored in lightweight car batteries? Assume that the batteries

convert electricity to work at 100% efficiency, and that electricity is transported from the power plant to the car at 100% efficiency. A) Gasoline used in a standard car engine, because a car engine's fuel burns hotter and more efficiently than does the coal in a coal-fired power plant. B) Electricity from a coal-fired generating plant, because a car engine is a heat engine, and must follow the second law of thermodynamics, whereas a coal-fired generating plant is not. C) Gasoline used in a standard car engine, because a car engine burns its fuel directly in the automobile rather than miles away at the power plant. D) Electricity from a coal-fired generating plant, because such a plant runs at higher energy-efficiency than does a car engine. E) It wouldn't make any difference, because both the car engine and the generating plant are heat engines and are thus subject to the second law of thermodynamics.
